For a beach-loving duo like Chelsea & Ray (whose first date was paddle boarding!), a wedding at Bel Air Bay Club was just the ticket. Sweeping views of the Pacific Coast made for an incomparable backdrop and a dreamy canvas for Intertwined Events to work their magic. One look at the film from Elysium Productions and captures by Kristina Adams Photography, and I think you’ll be craving a coastal affair, too.

From Intertwined Events… Chelsea and Ray’s wedding day, also known as #ChelsAndRaysBigDay, was nothing short of stunning! From a fully custom design motif to the most romantic ceremony backdrop, this wedding has so many beautiful details that perfectly reflect Chelsea and Ray’s personalities.
Chelsea and Ray met at a bar in Corona del Mar. A couple of drinks in and a shared appreciation for bad dance moves later, they planned their first date. A day of paddle boarding solidified their love for the beach and was the beginning of an amazing love story. When it came to deciding on a wedding venue, they knew they just had to tie the knot with views of the ocean in the backdrop and Bel Air Bay Club had the perfect one.
To complement the stunning ocean views, Art With Nature crafted a stunning ceremony arch that featured bright white roses and hydrangeas. Guests could take a seat at one of the benches or modern slotted wood folding chairs. Either way, there was a gorgeous view of these two finally getting married! Chelsea’s uncle married them in a very intimate and personalized ceremony. Both of their siblings did a special reading as well.
Chelsea was an absolute bridal vision in a Rue de Seine gown. Her bridesmaids wore teal Show Me Your Mumu gowns that matched the entire day. We can’t forget how dapper Ray looked in a classic black suit.
River and Bridge designed custom branding for an invitation suite that was later incorporated into all of the day-of paper goods, cake and favors. The invitation suite was letterpressed and featured their monogram on the invitation, envelope liner, and custom postage. Delicate hand-drawn flowers were an added romantic touch. One of our favorite details was the escort display that featured acrylic triangles, diamonds, and hexagons with calligraphed names. They also served as meal indicators. Fun and functional!
When creating the design, color and texture were huge components, especially in the reception. Place settings featured silver rimmed chargers, grey glassware, and grey and gold flatware. Chandeliers were adorned with eucalyptus leaves. Centerpieces crafted from white tulips, anemones, and roses, paired with blue taper candles were so dreamy. Mismatched linens and chairs were an added touched and completed the overall design.
It was truly a beautiful day for a couple who is beautiful inside and out. It’s always a pleasure working with a couple who want to integrate their personalities into their wedding day. This unique ‘Something Blue’ day will always be one of our favorites!
