Hello romance! I must admit I quite lost myself in this next wedding by Abi Q Photography but how could you not with such a dreamy palette of soft blue, blush and cream, crystal vases and the perfect combination of classic and beachy. All cast in that exquisite Southern California light that can make any event as enchanting as a fairytale. This is beach-side chic done oh-so right and I have no intention of finding my way out anytime soon. Get lost and fall in love in the full gallery!

From Abi Q Photography…Maria’s look was soft and classic with a bit of beach-side romance thrown in. The wedding was held at a small Catholic church in downtown Laguna that had a timeless classiness about it. The reception was at Casa Romantica in San Clemente which is known for it’s breathtaking views of the ocean and beautiful light. Her florist did different centerpieces for each table of different heights and fullness and the soft romantic look it created was absolutely breathtaking. I loved the use of succulents alongside the pretty pastels of the hydrangeas, peonies and roses. Everything about Maria and Connor’s affair was beautiful. The best part of the day was when their coordinator, Erin, let me steal them away for ten extra minutes at sunset to capture some photos of them in beautiful light.

That cake looks like a piece of art! I love weddings... so much joy
Oh my goodness, I love everything about this! The flowers are AMAZING!
Did you rent all of the glassware for your centerpieces? If yes, could you please tell me the name of the rental company? Thanks!
I love that veil, any inofmration it? is it a single layer veil? or illusions? Thanks!
Gorgeous wedding!!
Thanks so much for the beautiful feature Emilia! Sabrina, I asked the bride and she said her florist, Krista, rented the centerpieces out to her. Alexandra, It was a single layer veil.. and amazing in the wind!! ;)
Love Maria and Conner!! Just wanted to get a correction out there; I was their wedding coordinator (Christina Carbonara) along with the Carbonara Catering team. One of my favorite and most memorable weddings!
Krista Jon did an amazing job! "It's all about the cake" did the cake. Signature party rentals supplied all the beautiful rentals (linens, chairs, lounge ware)! It was a great team! Thanks AbiQ for getting this featured!
where did you get the table numbers?
I love the vintage color and feel to your photos.
Such a beautiful wedding!! Maria really had a vision.... To answer the vintage rental question...all the vintage glass is available to rent from archive vintage rentals!!
I love the colors! Great idea including succulents in the bouquet. Just beautiful!
Beautiful flowers! I'd like to know where I can get the table numbers also please!!
Oh. My. Goodness!!! I love this wedding! I am usually not a big fan of beach or beach resort weddings but I absolutely love this because it isn't too casual or super modern, it's so California but still really classic and feminine and beautiful! I want this wedding! Hahaha. Congratulations and it is absolutely gorgeous.
