California Wedding Day

Traveling from Texas, Katherine and Trevor envisioned a California destination wedding—one designed to immerse their guests in the natural beauty of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Their wedding weekend began with a “West Coast Welcome” at Point Vincente Interpretive Center, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. 

Florals inspired by Katherine’s Irish and Scottish heritage, including blue thistle, heather, fern and soft white blooms, complemented the panoramic ocean views. The next morning, guests were welcomed at the historic Neighborhood Church of Palos Verdes Estates for a ceremony framed by lush hydrangea arrangements, softened with organic greenery and sage, ivory and French blue hues. 

Katherine and Trevor’s reception at Rolling Hills Country Club blended classic garden romance and coastal refinement, with four distinct tablescapes curated throughout the space. The party did not stop at sundown; late-night festivities included a custom burger station inspired by one of California’s most iconic burger stands, a crowd-favorite moment complete with personalized branding and paper goods.

Tucked away on the enchanting terrace of Calamigos Ranch, a dreamy ambiance unfolded for Shuier and Tianyu’s wedding day. Resolute in reflecting their love for their heritage, their cherished cultural roots were delicately woven throughout the French garden design. The welcome sign, framed by wisteria and lush foliage, featured the couple’s surnames in soft blue Chinese calligraphy while romantic chandeliers glimmered high amongst the canopy of trees that framed the ceremony. 

Shuier was a vision to behold in her ornate gown complete with sheer, billowing off-the-shoulder sleeves, intricate beading and lace cut outs. Her gossamer veil trailed behind her with a captivating drama as she walked down the aisle to Tianyu, who awaited her in front of a tranquil waterfall. The bride and groom exchanged their vows under a grand swath of soft multi-hued florals and were showered with rose petals as they walked back down the aisle as husband and wife.

In this floral-forward design, Eddie Zaratsian Lifestyle & Design conjured a European garden filled with sunset-hued blooms and modern, fashion-forward moments. Sweeping vineyard views and an undulating landscape form the backdrop for this lush scene. Romance and beauty are entangled with contemporary details, from the billowing organza gown and overgrown ceremony botanicals to the serpentine table paired with black seating.

The unconventional table layout winds through the space, intentionally mirroring the venue’s circular shape. Thoughtful elements play to the blooming tableau, such as the white cake decorated with elegant flowers and the boldly hued invitation suite. Sumptuous blossoms are also present in the cascading bouquet, which displays an artfully undone quality. The fanciful fondant etching on the cake creates a dreamy yin balance to the design’s yang edge.

Amid the picturesque oak trees of the European-style winery, Fran Steiner of Events by Fran enhanced the earthy surroundings of Casa Locé with subtle décor and a bright palette. Accented by the glow of dappled light, organic yellow-hued florals—ranging from soft buttercream to bold mustard—burst from woven baskets and clay pots lining the outdoor aisle. The bride’s clean-lined modern strapless gown and monofloral bouquet further accentuate the uncomplicated design.
“The florals are designed to frame the ceremony space, adding joy without distracting from the natural environment,” says Steiner. The modern reception scene on the lawn creates an effortlessly romantic tableau. Table linen subtly patterned with sage green provides a breezy backdrop for the sunny centerpieces. Wooden flatware details ground the tablescape, echoing the breathtaking views of the surrounding sun-soaked vistas.
