California Wedding Day

Some weddings are true love stories... and Dominique and Stephanie’s celebration at Sands Hotel & Spa felt like a tribute to every person who helped write theirs. Inspired by the idea of honoring their community, the couple transformed the entire property into a private oasis where family and friends could settle in for a weekend of fun and unforgettable surprises. 
Each bride secretly selected the song her partner would walk down the aisle to, creating an emotional exchange before vows were even spoken. Both love birds rocked personal collections of vibrant florals: purple, blue and hot pink.
Natural table runners were formed from long banana leaves and topped with rattan-inspired table numbers. The evening crescendoed with a Backstreet Boys sing-along, a packed dance floor and, finally, a collective leap into the pool—wedding attire and all.

After seeing an Instagram post of a wedding at Rancho Las Lomas, Thao and Corey quickly fell in love with the venue. The couple immediately knew that was where they wanted to tie the knot and used the space as inspiration as they brought their special day to life.  The floral arrangements, color scheme and every little design detail always tied back to embracing the beauty of the Spanish-style outdoor venue. 

Thao and Corey recall all their first looks being the most “anticipated” parts of the day. From seeing one another in their dress and suit to touring the venue, these experiences made “all of the time spent planning, the multiple meetings, the late nights and ultimately our dream come to life before our eyes,” Thao says. Even after seeing Thao in her gown during their first look, watching her walk down the aisle was Corey’s favorite memory. This moment made their wedding feel “real at last,” and the swell of emotions will be engraved in the couple’s memory forever.

The morning of Summer and Taylor’s wedding brought a heavy downpour, but the couple felt at peace knowing the lucky showers would not dampen their day.

Ten years after they first met, they celebrated on the lush grounds of Botanica in Oceanside. White florals kissed by raindrops lined the aisle, scattered with romantic petals. Taylor waited at the altar in a sharp white suitcoat with a black bowtie and pocket square, while Summer floated down the aisle in an opulent lace gown with matching gloves, her cathedral-length veil trailing behind her. 

After exchanging vows beneath whimsical woods and meadow-like florals, a live wedding painter captured one of their first kisses as a married couple. Black-and-white signage let the scenery shine and guided guests to tables named for the couple’s favorite travel spots. Friends and family snapped photos in front of a handmade backdrop of more than 300 black-and-white images and sipped celebratory champagne.

Jeff proposed to MC on the island of Milos, Greece, where the couple weathered a lost-luggage disaster with humor instead of frustration. “We’ll have each other forever,” MC said at the time, a sentiment that helped design the wedding weekend from start to finish.

Under sweeping trees and beneath the glow of candlelight, the couple and their vendor team transformed the concept of Georgia countryside charm into a celebration with unmistakable California energy for their big day. Inspired by the bride’s southern roots and Jeff’s Beverly Hills sensibility, the wedding married softness with spectacle—lush florals spilled across reception tables, patterned linens layered against vintage china and twinkle lights cast a warm haze over the evening.

Personal details carried the celebration. MC’s father handcrafted the ceremony chuppah from wood from the family farm, while her hand-embroidered mother embroidered nearly 200 napkins for the welcome party. Guests later discovered handwritten notes tucked inside calligraphed envelopes at their seats, each paired with a personal photo and memory from the couple.
