Pretty in Pink Wedding at the Saguaro Hotel. Palm Springs, CA | Daphne & Austin

We were watching golden girls and it was the episode where rose proposes to miles and Austin asked if I would ever propose to him to which I said “if it takes you that long”. But then I had a lightbulb moment and decided why not ask him? He was my best friend and as much as I wanted to be proposed to to see a man show his vulnerability and love for me, I knew I didn’t need it because Austin shows me everyday he loves me. I never have to question it. There’s no one else I would rather do life with.

Romantic Luce Loft Wedding. San Diego, CA | Loraine & Alexis

AHR florals transformed the venue with a wild palette of greens, punctuated by the buttery bouquet and flower crown for Alexis. Candles and the greens gave hidden garden vibes: moody & romantic!!! We were able to steal a way for a bit at the end of dinner and watch the sunset from a near by rooftop. After soaking up the cotton candy skies, we headed back to dance the night away!

Magical Disney Wedding at Galway Downs. Temecula, CA | Stephanie & Alex

Guests were welcomed to the beautiful Galway Downs with an Up & Beauty and the Beast welcome table, with Disney Parks & movies songs playing. To find their seats, each guest had a personalized Fast pass to tables honoring the couples favorite Disney movies. My favorite detail from the day was an old tv that Stephanie repurposed for a cake stand. On the tv, she had The Skeleton Dance on loop, one of Disney’s first animated cartoons.

Magical Modern Wedding in Pinks and Black at The Lane. San Diego, CA | Michelle & Brent

Their venue change ended up being in their favor, giving them super early access were able to the brand spankin new San Diego wedding venue, The Lane. This amazing spot in Downtown San Diego is quickly becoming one of my favorite local wedding spaces. It’s clean, modern and super versatile. It also gets incredible light and has the dreamiest getting ready area!!

LOTR Wedding at Wildwood Acres. Lafayette, CA | Julia & Will

Julia picked the most perfect dress that felt like it was made for her. The pearl polka dot detail was perfect and the midi length was so fun for multiple reasons. This dress was MADE for twirling AND gave Jullia the option to show off multiple pairs of shoes! She started the day in a fun set of gold heels. These took her into the reception, where she changed into her dancing shoes : Custom painted high top Converse

Iridescent Villa Royal Wedding. Palm Springs, CA | Daniel & Ryan

For their big day, the design focus was Modern, Moody and Warm. With ultimate design queens Luna Design Studios, they transformed The Villa Royal into a iridescent and playful wonderland!!! Darth Vader was the ring bearer and each guest found their way to their seat via a customized Lego figurine made by the grooms! Daniel told me they lost count of how many times they ended up at the Lego store. Legos also made their way into the boutonnières and table numbers.

Bates Nut Farm Fall Wedding. Valley Center, CA | David & Troy

A luxurious self care moment is always an excellent start to a wedding day! David and Troy did just that, bringing in their barbers for a shave and a haircut first thing. After an emotional first look, we all headed to Bates Nut Farm for a glorious fall day! September is a magical time at the farm, with GIANT pumpkins, the beginnings of a corn maze and blooming sunflowers

Tropical & Nerdy DIY Wedding at BRICK. San Diego, CA | Adria & Anthony

What was your favorite part of the wedding day?: For moments for just us, our first look! We’re so glad that we did one and were able to have a quiet and special moment for just us in between that craziness of the day! Especially for a bride like me, who was really hands on (at the venue setting up and putting out fires until 45 minutes before Maddie arrived LOL), I enjoy the chaos of prep but having a moment to take a breath just the two of us was really the recharge we needed before the event.

Rad Maine Coast Wedding in a 1974 Land Rover! Portland, ME | Grace & Dustin

Your wedding day is the perfect opportunity to cruise around in the car of your dreams with the person of your dreams! Grace and Dustin’s wedding plans involved an hour long drive up the coast of Maine from the ceremony to the reception. They wisely used this time to eat a nice quiet & chill lunch by the harbor and enjoyed the drive in a 1974 Land Rover Series III.

Hawaiian Coffee Farm Wedding. Kona, HI | Devin & Zach

If you get married in Hawaii, you have to count on the fact that it will rain at *some* point during the day. Naturally it rained on and off for most of Devin & Zach’s day but it didn’t dampen their spirits! While Kate and her team at Sunshower Weddings worked tirelessly moving the ceremony outside and then inside again as the clouds menaced.

Dreamy Joshua Tree Desert Wedding at High Desert Paradise. Yucca Valley, CA | Melissa & Mel

With the plans of a big wedding put on hold because of the pandemic (which they joked was actually a blessing in disguise because an elopement is WAY more their style!), Melissa and Melanie switched gears to have an intimate gathering with their immediate family in Joshua Tree instead. They found High Desert Paradise through air bnb, which provided ALL the incredible desert wedding vibes and an awesome spot for everyone to stay. The huge saguaro and handmade blanket aisle are just some of the highlights. It is the perfect venue for an intimate desert wedding!
