Newport Beach Wedding by Studio 28 Photo
I have a little love affair with all things nautical so it will come as no surprise that this next little coastal gem from Studio 28 Photo satisfies my inner sea captain. Stick some gorgeous florals, an adorable couple and a slew of personal touches into the mix and you get pretty close to classic, maritime perfection. I’m a wee bit obsessed with the rope knot table numbers and may need to add that to my own inspiration folder. There is more seaside inspiration in the full wedding gallery!

Being 24, it was my goal to host a wedding that was both youthful and traditional, and that could be enjoyed by guests of all ages. For this reason, we selected the Newport Harbor Yacht Club as the venue, a venue located in my hometown and that is both warm and relaxed and yet also encompasses old-school charm. It was also our goal to infuse personal touches and create a wedding that was telling of us and our love story.
My husband and I met and fell in love at the University of California, Berkeley. Out of gratitude to the University for bringing us together, and in recognition of our shared pastime of cheering on the Golden Bears, we incorporated many UCB themes. Following the ceremony, the bridal party walked down the aisle to the UCB Fight Song, the groom was surprised with a UCB football inspired groom’s cake and guests were treated to yellow gummy bears (symbolic of the Golden Bears) as favors.
In addition to our UCB theme, we incorporated several other personal details to give our guests a greater understanding of our lives together and where we come from. In lieu of a guestbook, guests signed vintage postcards from places significant to us: UCB, Newport Beach (my hometown), Santa Barbara, (groom’s hometown), Goleta (our new home) and Saint Lucia (our honeymoon spot). We also brought in furniture from my family’s home (couches, cake table and stands, etc) and items from my parents’ in-law wedding (cake cutters) to make the venue feelfamiliar. Our personal connection to the wedding was further strengthened by the amount of DIY projects included. From the ceremony programs to the design and assemblage of the lamps (a Z Gallerie candle stick holder and Fenchel lamp shade), the wedding was a labor of love and was something we took great pride in.
However, the most important personalized aspect of the wedding was the vendors and guests themselves. We cannot thank the vendors enough for sharing their expertise and countless hours of time. You each indulged me and my love for detail, inspired me and in the end, are now family. We are also incredibly thankful to our guests, whose presence, kind words and dance moves made the wedding a success and are the reason why we will forever reflect upon the day with a smile.

I love the way it looks like the Bride and her amazingly talented mother thought of every last detail themselves!
Wow, what a fab wedding!!!
I agree this wedding is so fresh and different than the vintage inspired weddings that are so in fashion at the moment. Incredible details, the knot holders are inspired, as are the centrepieces, the location and the attire of the bridal party!
Have a connection to this wedding, (the video ) and in addition to Katy & Chris being a great couple, the powerhouse combination and design creativity of Katy and her mother made for a perfect day. The two women attended to every last detail and created an absolutely exquisite wedding.
I love love love the table number holders - where did you find those?!
Gorgeous job! Loving all the nautical details and the classic elegance. Fab!!
I want the mother and bride to do a wedding for me. I have to have those knots...do tell! This is the most beautiful wedding I ever saw. Are the bride and groom models???
The most beautiful and elegant wedding I have ever seen, everything about it is stunning...down to every last detail. I only wish the bride could plan my wedding one day...mk
Who did the hair and makeup! The bride looks beautiful! A classic style that is perfect!
Thank you so much for the compliments. We are so honored to be featured on SMP.
The dress is from Felicity Couture in Corona del Mar, CA. Felicity is the owner and dressmaker, and so extremely talented. I could not recommend her more, and am so grateful to her for making the dress process completely stress-free. Her website information is http://www.felicitycouturebridal.com/index.html .
The flowers and event design were done by Dana Anderson. She is innovative, diligent, and infuses elegance into everything she does. She was an absolute joy to work with, and the wedding would not have been possible without her. To contact Dana, email danabelinda@yahoo.com.
The lamp centerpieces consist of a Z Gallerie candle stick-holder and Fenchel lamp shade.
Lastly, my shoes and bridesmaid dresses are J-Crew.
Information on how to purchase the knots coming soon :) - They were purchased on Amazon, but we are currently digging through our notes to find more purchase details.
Thank you again and best wishes to all the brides-to-be!
SUCH a beautiful wedding and couple!!! I am getting married at the same church in July! Our reception is at the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club AND my fiance went to CAL :) Needless to say, I love your photos!
Couple questions for you 1. The knots holding the table numbers...I found them but most are sold in red, did yours come made in white?
2. What did you use for the JUST MARRIED writing on the lifesaver? We are taking a boat from St. John Vianney to the Yacht Club and are planning on having a life saver too, just don't know what sort of sticker material to use on it, what did you do?
3. Where did you take those photos with the pretty greenery behind you? If it's a parents home, no worries, just wondering if it was on the island or somewhere public?
Thank you for your help, I love your wedding!!!
Katy and Aishling- I too adore the knots holding the table numbers and would love to incorporate them into my upcoming wedding in May. Could you please share where you found them??
Thank you!!
The knots are called "Monkey Fist" and you can google them to find out how to make them (I am making them for my wedding). If you want to buy them, there is a lady on www.etsy.com (her shop is called Karen's Rope work...http://www.etsy.com/shop/KarensRopeWork ) I think you could use the "door-stop" she makes for the table numbers.
Hope that helps ladies!
Your wedding is the bomb!!!
I have tried at Z Gallery to find the candle holder stick-holder and it is not there. Did you hunt other candle holders? I've googled the Fenchel lamp shade and having no luck. Did you purchase shade through Z Gallery?
If so, shades do not come up.
We all love your wedding!!

Hope I am not doubling up. But I have been approached for the nautical table holders. I do them too! They are so cute. You wedding was an inspiration! Thanks

The knots we used are dog toys. We transformed them into table number holders by cutting off the loop, and hammering a nail and washer into the ball to keep it steady. The toys come in a pack of multiple colors, but upon receiving the toys from Amazon, we called the company directly and explained we were looking for only white toys - they generously compiled.

I also found the knots on etsy for the same reasonable price.

Hope this helps!

Katy,
Are you interested in selling your knots? I am willing to pay the price! I am getting married in Portland, Maine this July! I am having a beach wedding. Could you please email me if you still have them and would like to get some extra cash? Please let me know either way if possible!
My email is crowsully1@yahoo.com
Thanks!

I wonder if you can tell me where you got the mason jar vases with the ridges on them?
Thanks!
Could you please tell me from which company you rented the big red train/bus? My son is getting married at the NHYC on 6/23/2012.
Thx.
Hi, I love your wedding!
