romantic rish bridal wedding dress
when selecting a wedding dress that would work for their vibrant san diego wedding, mae decided that comfort and simplicity were important.
while some simple wedding dresses can feel more sleek than romantic, rish does an amazing job of creating modern wedding dresses that have statement details. for example, mae’s ‘northern star’ by rish wedding dress was simple. this fitted crepe wedding dress had a deep v-neckline and open back. however, the gown’s geometric embroidery and statement train created the perfect amount of eye-catching detail!
northern star’s center slit also allowed for easy movement and fun bridal shoe moments. easy to wear and to style, this elegant rish wedding dress was ideal!

mae styled her wedding look with romantic waves, pearl drop earrings, and a pearl necklace.
deciding to not wear a veil, mae made the most of her timeless and on-trend wedding accessories. even her block wedding heels had a bit of sparkle. covered in sequins, these silver wedding shoes were so fun.
courtyard wedding reception
mae and bobby ended the night in the venue’s courtyard with their closest family and friends.
celebrating under bistro lights and with bubbles floating in the air, they ended their charming san diego wedding day with full hearts and plenty of precious memories!
