French Country-Inspired Décor, Show-Stopping Pastel Florals in Whimsical Wedding Day at La Jolla Country Club

One of Savannah’s fondest childhood memories was watching Fourth of July fireworks at La Jolla Country Club. So when she and fiancé Ryan looked for a wedding venue, the club was the natural choice. Their July celebration borrowed design touches from the bride’s grandmother—her impeccable style, hosting flair and French country–inspired décor—with a pastel palette reflected in the showstopping florals. “I tried to incorporate a lot of color without being too loud, to maintain elegance and class without being too formal or stuffy and to honor the fairytale-princess-girlie-girl in me without losing the focus on our style as a couple,” says Savannah. The golf course ceremony (Ryan is an avid golfer) featured a curated soundtrack of instrumental songs that felt whimsical, sentimental and celebratory. The couple shared their first dance to a customized version of Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect,” accompanied by their DJ on the saxophone. The four-tiered cake was inspired by the bride’s diaphanous Reem Acra couture gown and cut with a treasured knife from—who else—the perennial hostess herself, Savannah’s grandmother.
