Pebble Beach Wedding by Aaron Delesie
I hope everyone had a great weekend! We are starting the week off with THE most gorgeous series of weddings you’ve ever seen. Seriously, seriously gorgeous weddings. All photographed by the forever talented Aaron Delesie. Over the years, we’ve fallen pretty much head over heels in love with Aaron’s work as it’s possibly the most romantic, most ethereal, most gorgeous photography on the planet. Plus, Aaron and his lovely wife Jen, are hands down two of our favorite people in this industry. Which of course, makes us love them even more.
So when we recently heard the most awesome news about Aaron, we couldn’t contain ourselves. We’ll reveal all in our next post but for now, feast your eyes on this beautiful wedding that Aaron shot. So beautiful, you might even shed a tear or two. Oh and you can see the full wedding right here.

We did not hire a wedding planner/event coordinator hoping to save, which of course, made little difference to our budget. But I managed to personalize every single detail of the wedding without any help of a professional. I religiously studied and followed every blog posted on SMP for a whole year to help guide my wedding planning process. I became an avid SMP reader and found the most amazingly talented photographer on SMP while drooling over Day/Max and Ashley/Rob’s wedding photos. My heart stopped! Even though I had already booked a different photographer, I knew Aaron was the one for us!! The rest is history.
Once I’ve finalized my decor ideas (after changing everything 7 times) I specified every single décor and floral ideas to the Floral and Catering Dept at the Lodge at Pebble Beach . They were able to capture a vision of our dream wedding into a perfect reality. Despite having vacillated in my décor ideas, there was one thing I was sure about—our location. I’ve always known that I wanted to get married in Pebble Beach. There was no doubt our mind that we wanted to get married here. We love to golf, we love the ocean view, and we love Carmel . The outdoor ceremony was held at the historic Lodge at Pebble Beach which has the most breathtaking ocean view of the Carmel Bay. We felt that the Lodge has the warm and elegant embrace of romance and classic elegance setting. This magnificent location is adorned by the natural surrounds of sand, sea, and forest. It is a flawless and magical setting.
We wanted the style of our wedding to be classic elegance, intimate, sophisticated, personal, relaxed, and romantic. We had a total of 60 of our closest friends and families whom all spent the whole weekend going on wine tasting tours, dining and spending relaxing time together. We chose our colors palate for the ceremony to be a soft blend of white and green colors, mixing white phaleonopsis orchids hanging amaranthus, white and green hydrangea, and green cymbidiums. The reception is adorn with alternating tall and low glass vases topped with a cascading arrangement of hot pink peonies, green viburnum white and green hydrangea, white phaleonopsis orchids, pale pink peonies and pink roses on each of the dining table. My main favorite flowers were phaleonopsis orchids and peonies.
I wore a custom designed wedding dresss by Armine Ohanessian, owner and designer of R-Mine in Studio City, CA. The dress is a silk mikado mermaid with a scooped sweetheart neckline that is finished with a silk gazar draping. The skirt is embellished with Italian silk gazar and mikado hand draped flowers. The headpiece is also designed by Armine. It is a silk fishnet. I changed into a pearl-gray, delicate chiffon gown with beaded cap sleeves made by Reem Acra for the reception.

This bride is so beautiful. I love the way the bouquet compliments the awesome dress. Such a lovely, happy looking couple :)
D-Y-I-N-G over the fur (I think)! I have never seen anything like it!! Need to know the deets!!
This wedding is breathtaking. She captured everything she wanted too. I absolutely love this wedding, the decoration and detail is beautiful. Her dress is stunning.
GORGEOUS! Love her dress, hair piece, flowers!
Where did she find that hair piece?!?!?! I love it!!!
Seeing this wedding make me wish I was having an outdoors affair. So beautiful!
Pardon me while I pick myself up as I've just fallen out of my chair! :O) This is so swoon-worthy, I'm not even sure where to start!! The dress, the bouquet, the charming pop up pink on the tables, the tiny elephant favors...the list goes on and on. Bravo for a job well done and can't wait to hear the news on Aaron!
Would love to know some more information about her wonderfully unique heart-fur cape/shawl! So lovely.....
Aaron does such beautiful work. He really "sees" and capture the mood of the day so perfectly. Congratulations to the lovely bride.
What incredible attention to detail and her fashion sense is just flawless! Really stunning! I love the elephant details, her accessories are gorgeous and oh, that bouquet!
Her bouquet is stunning. Is that ONE flower? What is it? Could be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
What an incredible wedding...supreme photography, naturally, being a floral atelier I cannot help but comment on how important flowers are for events! DIY brides just don't get it, sorry... this couple cared enough to present an incredible event to their guests.. a sign of their impeccable taste. Bravo, bravo! Let's see more of these type of events on SMP!!!
so gorgeous - please more details on the cape!
GORGEOUS! I might be bias though because my wedding is going to be in Carmel also. ;)
I am completely drunk on all the amazing TEXTURE in this wedding! Also, can you please share who made her gorgeous wrap? It looks like angel wings!
Please do tell where the earrings came from!
I got goosebumps when I saw the hem of her dress!
Hands down my fav wedding soo far for 2010!! Right up my alley & LOVE the location!
What a STUNNING hem on that gown! I don't usually prefer such a huge statement, but that's gorgeous and she absolutely pulled it off - without being overwhelmed by it. Somehow, even with such a beautiful and large design, she manages to be wearing it rather than it wearing her. What a shame to hear she switched out of it for the reception though, that gown deserves the full limelight! Yes, and details on that lovely wrap!
i know a few have already asked but please let us know where that fab wrap is from. thanks :-)
Hello all SMP readers! This is Tina, the bride, thank you thank you so much for all your kind comments. I'm so filled with joy to be able to share this wedding with you all as I hope it'll inspire more brides as they are planning their wedings! With all the had work in planning a wedding, the day goes by so quickly! It was all with it! As far as the wrap it was a gift from my husband, bought from a store called Les Habitudes on Robertson blvd in Los Angeles. The earring were designed by Michael Barin. Amazing jeweler! The dress was made by Armine, owner of R-mine Bridal. Thank you again for all your kind words. I really am grateful for Aaron & Jen for their unbelieveble talent, professionalism and creativity. They are truly the most supurb and incredible wedding photographers, and people, out there. It was such a joy working with them! Words cannot describe how gifted they are. If you have any more questions i'd be happy to answer them!!
fortunate to have had a chance to work with them.
You both look so adorable together! I am truly happy for the two of you, and wish you much joy and happiness in the future as Mr. and Mrs.Galloway. Keep in touch.
Anita
That dress is so pretty!
Any information on where they had the wine bottle labels printed? They're adorable!
I love everything about this wedding! Could you please tell me where I could find those "wish" tickets? I love, love. love them!
I love that you did this yourself - without a coordinator! Any tips??
My tips for brides is do your research and make the day YOURS! I had the help of SMP to guide me along the way. Didn't need a wedding planner/event coordinator, but it was A LOT of work! I had to stay focused (that was difficutl!) even if it required chaning my decor at 7 times, it was worth it. It made it much more meaningful to YOU and your husband if you put your heart and soul into your day and make it about the 2 of you.
BTW, the bouquet was made of individual rose petals glued to make it look like 1 single rose bud!
The 'wish ticket' was purchased from Etsy.com. This is a great website to get unique, vintage things! The personalize ring orb can also be found on etsy.com. Almost every single item at the wedding was personalized to make it as personal for us (and for our family and friends) as much as possible.
gorgeous wedding! SMP is guiding me along the way as well! Can you tell me where you bought your parasols?
hi tina!
amazingly gorgeous pics. truly one of the most beautiful and classy weddings i've had the pleasure to look at! it's so nice to see how the invitation design and stationery worked with the wedding. most of the time, once a couple is done ordering their invitation pieces i never get to see how everything ties together with the final outcome. it truly was a pleasure working with you and stephen. many happy returns to you both. : ) btw... that has to be the most gorgeous wedding dress i've ever seen. you look stunning!

Tina - thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous day with us. But please tell me about your bouquet!
BEAUTIFUL weddingTina! Can you tell me where you found the adorable wooden elephants?
I love the flower piece in your hair. Where did you get it?
Woah, that dress!! Not many could pull it off but she does it impeccably! I'm in awe of every image!
That dress beats ALL I've ever seen. Ugh!!! JUST AMAZING. I am in love.
Were the custom wine bottle labels off of etsy- they are superb!
To the Bride ~ what vendor on Etsy did you use for the wish tickets? What were the tickets used for in your wedding? Thanks!
Just another beautiful work by Aaron *tender sigh..
Such a beautiful affair :)
