California-Cool Wedding Day with Beachy Vibes and Neutral Florals at the Bel-Air Bay Club

On an unseasonably beautiful January day, the crisp blue skies stayed clear and bright for Sarah Rodriguez and Anthony Daniels’ wedding day. The couple was intent on their union being one of elegance and unbridled joy as they united their large group of friends and family to honor their unique love. Two hundred guests gathered at the Bel-Air Bay Club in Pacific Palisades for a quintessential California celebration. Sarah was dressed in a simple form-fitting gown and a lace mantilla veil, and Anthony was dapperly dressed in a classic black tux. Both of them glowed in the light of the late afternoon sun as they professed their love in front of their many guests and no fewer than 18 groomsmen. With such a large wedding, it was important for the couple to foster a sense of intimacy through personal touches. Anthony’s family signage company crafted the welcome sign and bar menu on unique slabs of marble that were sourced by the couple. The hand-sketched seating cards, mounted on a bright blue display matching the coastal skyline, featured Sarah and Anthony’s most beloved places, such as Big Sur and the Fresh Garage Patio, a favorite date-night spot. And in lieu of a champagne tower, the bride and groom opted to pour their favorite wine, “Love You Bunches,” over a pyramid of coupe glasses. Once the pack of guests had dispersed from the candlelit dance floor, Sarah and Anthony balanced the natural elegance of their wedding by treating their guests to a late-night snack of In-N-Out burgers, the perfect finish to a California-style wedding.
