Beach Wedding Dreamin’

Incredible sunsets, rolling waves, and cool ocean breezes.

Another gorgeous modern romantic beach-front wedding for the books!

Thanks to True Photography, we’re able to share these beautiful photos of Suzanne and Briley’s beach wedding.

We love the classic elegance of these wedding rings. It reflects the happy couple’s vintage style with a fun modern flare!

 

The wedding bands rest on a bed of thistles.

 

The First Look is always so exciting!

The giddy smile on Briley’s face is infectious, and the sunny San Diego weather couldn’t have been more perfect.

 

The groom waits for the bride to tap his shoulder, for the First Look reveal.

 

The view looking back at Scripps Seaside Forum is just as lovely as the one looking out to over the ocean.

We love working with this venue! The architecture is modern with a charming, artful beach interpretation. It’s perfect for the kind of couple looking to host a beach wedding with a formal flair.

 

From the top of the ceremony aisle, the view of Scripps Seaside Forum is beautiful.

 

 The ceremony decorations, from To Be Designed (TBD) San Diego, were elegant and refined.

Polished brass lanterns added to the romantic environment and lit the way down the aisle. These, paired with small bundles of silvery eucalyptus, allowed for the natural beauty of the location to shine through.

Beachy details, like these lanterns, helped line the aisle and welcomed guests to their seats.

 

This glowing couple of newlyweds greets friends and family as they bask in the excitement of becoming husband and wife!

“The Glow” is already one of our favorite parts of a wedding ceremony, but it’s made extra special with this stunning backdrop.

 

After the Big Kiss, the happy couple makes their way back down the aisle, positively glowing with happiness.

 

The happy couple steals a quick break from formal pictures to enjoy their signature drinks.

These salty margaritas were the hit of the night! They paired well with our fresh appetizers, made on-site.

 

Locking arms, the newlyweds take a sip of their signature cocktails.

 

To Be Designed (TBD) also used their decorative genius on the dining tables!

After our staff moved all the ceremony chairs into the dining room, the room twinkled in the candlelight. It looked like an elegantly romantic beach getaway, but indoors!

 

Simple table numbers complimented the elegant table centerpieces.

 

A significant piece of the table settings was the gorgeous blue water goblets.

These unique goblets helped pull the ocean theme inside, without any cliche sand or shells needed. Framed by tall glass candle vases, and soft blue thistles, silver mercury glass votives, the scene was simply exquisite.

 

Blue water goblets like these bring the beach indoors and elevate the look of a place setting.

 

The happy couple made sure to send everyone home with a fun wedding favor.

Each place setting had a vial of hot cocoa mix, including mini marshmallows, tucked into the pocket fold of the napkins.

 

As a "thank you" to their guests, the love birds gave everyone a vial of hot cocoa mix to take home.

 

After everyone was seated from cocktail hour, Suzanne and Briley made their Grand Entrance back into the party!

Taking all those sunset photos stirs up an appetite. Thankfully, we had a Mexican-themed menu ready for all of their guests!

 

The bride and groom make their Grand Entrance back into the party after pictures.

 

There’s no better backdrop than this pink and purple sunset for the happy couple’s First Dance.

Guests got a first-row seat to one of San Diego’s famous breathtaking sunsets.

 

Shortly following the Grand Entrance, the First Dance was back-lit by an incredible lavender sky beach sunset.

 

After dinner, the Bride and Groom had a surprise for everyone!

The love birds made sure to order a secret birthday cake for Briley’s brother’s 30th Birthday from Flour Power Cakery! The whole room sang and cheered when we blew out the candles, and we were quick to cut and distribute the sweet treat.

 

Here, the groom's brother blows out the candles on his surprise birthday cake from the bride and groom.

 

Speaking of sweet treats, to go with the cake, we also had two separate dessert displays!

At the first dessert bar, guests helped themselves to fresh-made churros dipped in caramel, chocolate syrup, or whipped cream. At the second, our staff helped everyone make custom ice cream sundaes!

 

The newlyweds enjoy a private kiss on the balcony, palm trees behind them swaying in the ocean breeze.

 

Thanks to Briley and Suzanne for choosing us to help with your big day!

 

Huge thanks also to the fantastic team of vendors who worked with us to make this day so fun.

We hope to see you all again soon!
