I’ve been a Northeast lady my whole life but I do have the sneaky suspicion that I’d be pretty darn happy as a Cali girl. You see, it’s pics like these from heidi-o-photo of this elegant affair, that wins me over time and time again. From getting ready at Estancia La Jolla to the whole stylish shindig at the Del Mar Powerhouse, it’s a west coast wedding for the books. See it all in our VAULT right this way!
From the Bride… Greg and I did a lot of research in order to find the perfect venue for our wedding. It became clear during this process that a beach venue was a top priority, as we have so many friends and family members traveling in from out of town. The Del Mar Powerhouse in Del Mar, CA provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. This venue provided our guests with all of the amenities of a traditional wedding, but in a setting that combined scenic beach and ocean views with the ambiance of a beautiful sunset.
The natural beauty of the venue provided a tremendous amount of flexibility with our decor, helping to keep expenses within our budget. Our florist, Diane Lopez of Exquisite Designs, did an excellent job of capturing a soft and romantic feel for our florals. The florals were stunning against the dark plum bridesmaid dresses and black tuxedos worn by the groomsmen, and complemented the rustic undertones of our decor.
One of the most important details to us was incorporating our American Mastiff, Moose, in our special day. We displayed photos of him alongside our engagement photos at the guest welcome table, and created specialty craft cocktails (Big Dog Blast and Mastiff Mojito) in honor of his memory.
Saying our vows that day in front of our closest family and friends is a moment neither of us will ever forget. Thankfully, we have beautiful photos to view and reflect back on all of the memories created during our wedding day.
