Big Sur Bridal Styled Shoot

By Car

Good morning, ladies! Got the morning blues? Well, today’s styled shoot is just the thing to cheer you up. Ashley and Justin Photography’s Big Sur Bridal Styled Shoot is so light and elegant, intimate and romantic, and undeniably swoon-worthy! I love how they kept the elegance of bridal styled shoots into a more nature-themed destination. Oh, and what makes this bridal inspiration even more lovely is that it took place in Big Sur, CA which is one of the most ethereal places in the US! There’s an amazing charm to this place that makes it an ideal place to have such a memorable shoot. Am I the only one being filled with these feels? The only way to find out is for you to go through the shots yourself. Again, a big thank you to Ashley and Justin Photography for capturing these lovely snaps! Enjoy!

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!

We’re All About the Details!

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.

Take this Advice

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

Extra Special Details

The bride’s mother made their wedding cake using her grandmother’s famous pound cake recipe. Her great grandmother wrapped the bouquet in a handmade seafoam green lace.

For the “something blue”, she sewed a USCG uniform name tag with her new last name into my dress, which was a surprise for her husband!

The officiant and his wife are their dear mentors and have seen them through some very difficult times.

The blast menu coming up with beautiful and delicious flavors! Their caterer served Maryland-style crab cakes, country ham & pimento cheese sweet potato biscuits, and snapper ceviche, to name a few.

The Bride’s Advice

♥ Don’t get bogged down in all the “stuff” that comes with planning a wedding. Keep the big-picture in mind: you are having a wedding to celebrate the commitment you are making to each other! What will people remember 10 years from now? If the napkins matched the centerpiece which matched the bridesmaid dresses? Or if the laughter and love shared was genuine and heartfelt? We tried to let this guide our decision making process, which kept us very stress-free. We prioritized the areas that were most important to us and cut costs in others. This makes saying “no” easier too! We were incredibly blessed to be married at a naturally breathtaking venue and didn’t want to compete with the views of the ocean from the venue, which kept our decorations (and costs and stress) to an extreme minimum. Our guests loved the refreshing simplicity. Don’t be afraid to go outside the mold. It’s your wedding day- make it reflect your personal lifestyle, not what you think is expected of you. Your wedding day will be a blur of excitement- invest the extra money in hiring a videographer. You will not regret it!

The Bride’s Advice

“Keep it small and simple and let your friends help you plan, set up and tear down your wedding and reception. Let them help, you do not have to do it alone.
