Elegant Ocean View Resort Wedding

By Car

Along the Coast of Orange County, California is the Surf and Sand Resort of Laguna Beach. This beachfront wedding venue is the perfect spot for a dreamy outdoor ceremony that overlooks the ocean. Cory and Melody absolutely love the ocean, and quickly fell in love with this venue for that very reason! With just under two months to plan their entire wedding, this amazing couple pulled everything together for an elegant beach inspired celebration. Their color palette of blues, gold, white, and pink carried the beach theme throughout every detail of their wedding day. From the baby blue bridesmaid gowns to the pink and white floral arrangements by BEL Events, and all of the gold decor accents, this spring wedding seemed very well thought out despite the limited time to plan. Check out more details from these snaps brought to us by Three16 Photography. Enjoy!

Melody was dressed in a sweetheart lace gown with a flowing tulle bottom from Mary Me Bridal, while her groom wore a navy suit with a white tie. They exchanged vows in the sunny outdoor terrace, with a panoramic ocean backdrop. For the reception, the party continued in one of the resort’s gorgeous ballrooms. BEL Events not only crafted the beautiful floral arrangements for the day, but also contributed the decor as well. Extreme DJs provided the music for the evening as the couple and their closest friends and family danced the night away. The textured yet smooth three-tiered cake from It’s All About The Cake was accented with a delicate golden “love” topper, and was a perfect addition to the delicious catering from Surf and Sand. All of the details of this chic coastal resort wedding were captured by the team at Three16 Photography.

Make sure to spend intentional time with each other throughout the planning process- separate from making decisions about wedding day! Also, the couple loved having an indoor reception so that there were no noise restrictions/ restrictions on how late the party could go. ~Jerrick O’Connor/Photographer

Flora Farms Destination Wedding

By Car

And just like that, it’s already December! While we’re here celebrating the best things that happened this year why not start with something elegant, eclectic, whimsical, and of course everything about the beach! This whimsy and fun beach wedding of Dawn and Sean go beyond details and specific design choices. They brought in some interesting design pieces, like the ladder ceremony arch, which was layered with elegant chiffon material, candles, and flowers. Dawn had the idea for lightbulb bud vases which was hand-made and hung from the arch with lanterns for an even more whimsical ceremony. At the ceremony, they channeled fairytale whimsy with a unique ceiling installation which was deliciously elegant. The travel-themed elements were also whimsical! Dawn custom-monogrammed luggage tag escort cards which were hung from a 7-foot tall wooden frame backed with chicken wire (picnic!). They fulfilled the eclectic piece with the layout, which was a mix of one long empirical table, round tables, high-top tables, and lounge seating. The mix of furniture was perfect! Dawn was specific about their colors, which were red, orange, and coral, and worked perfectly for the early summer wedding. Go on and check out what you might have missed through these amazing snaps brought to us by AnnaGomesPhoto down below!

The planning process was effortless and undeniably stress-free due to the early decision my husband and I agreeing to hire a full-time wedding planner. Ours, Bonnie Chase of Events by Bliss. We had a tight budget that we wanted to stick to, and although the expense of a wedding planner can be viewed as a luxury that will take away from the overall budget allocated to the wedding, we knew that we wanted a professional to handle this important event for us, so everyone involved could have a great time. The amount of money we spent upfront to hire Events by Bliss for our wedding saved us tremendously at the end of the day, theoretically speaking. I know that this may not be the case for every couple with every wedding planner. We were extremely blessed and fortunate that luck was on our side, and the stars aligned for us to cross paths (and work with) Bonnie Chase. ~Ashley Lomelin/Wedding Vendor

Romantic Oceanside Engagement Session

By Car

Let me tell you now, looking at these photos brought to us by Meivys Reyes, you won’t be able to help yourself from feeling a bit jealous. Sarah and Bryan are such a sweet couple and their beach engagement session was so perfect in my eyes! I’m so happy that M Suarez Photography was able to take these amazing photos of their romantic engagement. Breaking it down to what I loved most, let’s start with their simple wardrobe! I just love how both of them wore something simple but complimented the session so gracefully! But of course, the beach made every detail stand out-genius! I also love the muted hues that matched the outdoor beach setting- it just added to the effortless and light ambiance. Then there’s the park session that highlights their romantic nature! I could go on forever, but I suggest you scroll down for the whole set!
