Just because you’re on the beach doesn’t mean you have to be casual. And just because you’re going for elegance doesn’t mean you can’t go for rustic as well. Here we have a beautiful wedding that perfected the right mix of a classic and rustic beach wedding. Their outfits are very dapper which looked awesome on the sand. Their decorations were very sweet and personal. And our bride, Polly, spilled it all on how you can do it yourself – on how you can pursue the wedding of your dreams. It isn’t exactly as easy as ABC but being organized like Polly will go a long way – it’ll even make you enjoy the planning part of your wedding! Congratulations on a beautiful wedding Polly & Devin!

A Very Nautical Day
A very nautical and beach-y wedding that ended up in a fun “trash the dress” shoot. Our couple, Brittney and Wes, really embraced the elements of the location they chose. The beach was credited for the casual vibe throughout the event (“but not too Jimmy Buffett” says the bride) and the yacht where they had the reception was credited for the nautical theme and the color palette. Then afterwards, while the sun is setting, they had a beautiful trash the dress shoot where the bride shared that it can get unbelievably heavy. But hey, the shots turned out to be amazing! Congratulations Brittney & Wes!
Traditions and Elegance
It’s not new to our sight whenever a groom cries tears of joy on his and his bride’s first look, but every time we encounter one lucky fella, it’s like seeing something fresh again and I’m in awe from such a beautiful emotion. Just like when I first saw Spencer’s picture, our groom from today’s feature, of him shedding tears as his bride walked towards him to the altar, such a perfectly captured moment. But moving on to the event itself, Spencer and Christina had a traditional Jewish ceremony after which, their reception was held in an area overlooking the beach and sunset. And despite the relaxing vibe of the venue, the way they fixed the decors and lighting created such an elegant look. Congratulations Spencer & Christina!
Beach Getaway Wedding
If I were to describe this wedding’s details I would say the couple “let it be-ach” (sorry for the pun). When the bride told us what they used as inspiration, she said that she just let the beach do it’s work and embraced it’s elements. According to her, “The scenery alone was enough decor” and this was emphasized by the amazing weather and these beautiful people. The other beach-inspired details were awesome too. There were plenty of seashells that adorned the whole day. But aside from all these motif, I must also point out that I love how the bride’s gown. The skirt was made of sheer material that it gave the look a soft feel and on some pictures, she even looked like she was literally floating. Congratulations to our couple, Ashley & Chris!
Teal and Starfish
If our last feature wasn’t a conventional beach wedding, our feature today will reel us back in to what they are truly like. The details and the color palette of this wedding really gives the impression that this couple embraced the beautiful beach elements. The white and blue was perfect with the starfish accents, specially when it was interpreted in their amazing cake. It looks so refreshing and pretty that it makes me want to sing “Under the Sea”. Congratulations Melissa & Michael & !
