Crystal Cove Wedding | Ashley & Richard

Ashley and Richard are the sweetest couple and it was an honor to plan their beach-chic wedding at Crystal Cove State Park!  I adored working with Ashley and her mom Kelly throughout the planning process and this production was truly a team effort. We had an army of amazing vendors who made their sand-in-your-toes wedding dreams a reality.  Art With Nature created the most gorgeous natural floral arrangements for the occasion that worked perfectly with the Farmhouse tables and driftwood chairs from Signature Party Rentals.  Ashley and Richard did not do a first look, so there was a ton of anticipation and excitement as she walked down to the beach with her dad towards her groom.  It was an amazing moment to witness them see each other for the first time and say their vows just a few feet from the beautiful crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean.  Following the seaside ceremony, guests made their way back up to the top of the bluff where they dined under the stars beneath a clear tent that was illuminated with string lighting expertly done by Shine Lighting. Found Rentals provided Moroccan and other knitted rugs for guests who wanted to continue with the barefoot boho chic feel of the day – so fun! And in keeping with the beach theme, fire pits for s’mores and local favorite Ruby’s Diner milkshakes were on tap for dessert!  The love between Richard and Ashley was apparent to all – and I truly have never seen two newlyweds look at each other like these two did on their wedding day. It was the purest love I’ve ever witnessed and I couldn’t be happier for them!
