We're kicking off our weekly wedding extravaganza with this beautiful beachside ceremony at the Montage Laguna Beach, one of our favorite Southern California locations for saying I do.
When East Coast natives Laura and Erik decided to tie the knot, they chose to share everything they love about California--and the beach--with out-of-town friends and family. More than 150 guests made the trek west for their destination wedding, reconnecting at Montage Laguna Beach for a few memorable days before the main event.
The ceremony was a simple and chic outdoor affair with gorgeous ocean views providing the perfect backdrop. Starfish motifs on the invitations and escort cards captured
the couple’s beach theme in a subtle way. And thoughtful details like
the surfboard guestbook (such a fun idea, not to mention a creative
keepsake) and groom’s
cake reflected Erik’s personality. Touches of bright orange were
nestled amid soft green flowers in the centerpieces as well as the
bride's bouquet while the mint green dresses were a perfect match to the
groomsmens ties. And for a taste of home, the couple choose the East
Coast tradition Tastykakes as one of their favors. The reception took the celebration indoors with cover tunes by The Cowling Band kept everyone out of their seats and dancing throughout the night.
