grains of sand and broken pieces of pottery. rugged natural textures meld with feathery fabrics creating chic contrast among a neutral beachside wedding picnic. while this secluded beach elopement looks like a scene from an elegant santorini, greece elopement, it's actually a romantic styled wedding at rodeo beach in marin county, california. similar to a sunset wedding on the aegean sea, this california beach elopement brings dreamy destination wedding inspiration to this intimate pacific coast minimony.
a colorful tapestry rug with white fringe and wooden pedestals on each side. with vibrant flowers crawling up the fixtures and pocketed sand, adding an uneven, tactile nature to the stretching seashore. though simple, this casual carpeted wedding altar is cozy. a relaxed seaside elopement with bohemian decor, this adventurous beachfront vow exchange evokes easy, unfiltered love.
ditching their colorful ceremony floral installations for an oceanfront stroll, we love the candid photos following this splendid oceanside elopement. with the bride wearing 'armeria' by alena leena and the groom in a white button-down and khaki slacks, this formal beach wedding attire is comfortable and stylish. the detail shots of this flowy alena leena wedding dress where you can see the signature crinoline bustier and pleated tulle design pack an eye-catching punch. with a structured bodice and open back, the opulence of alena leena's armeria wedding gown continues through the full feminine tulle skirt and dramatic off-the-shoulder sheer sleeves.
ending their california beach wedding with a pristine pop-up picnic, nothing says private luxury wedding dinner on the coast like leather wedding menus and a plated seafood meal. from the light linens and white baby's breath that covered the grand picnic table, to the cast iron candle holders and burnt orange candlesticks that welcomed warm tones to this opulent outdoor spread, each fresh feature was enchantingly executed.
a beautifully beachy ending for these blissfully betrothed, this glowing micro wedding at the golden gate national recreation area is just the stirring shoreline sophistication a 2023 bride planning a secluded beach wedding celebration is searching for.
