From Hallways to Aisles: West Coast Casual

Written By Amanda

Whenever I think of the west coast, I can’t help but think of California. More specifically Southern California, the California sans mountains and wineries. Something about the laid back lifestyle and beach hair just calls to me. This week, I decided to fly across the country to see how west coast style compares with last weeks post.

Inspired by: the Pacific ocean, sandy beaches, sunshine, pops of color, Ikat design, plants, natural wood elements, big windows and backyard terraces

I love the idea of using simple yet unique flower arrangements. Wildflowers and succulents really add a pop of color and structure and help create an interesting tablescape. And if you’ve always dreamed of having a beach wedding, but hate all the sand, why not have a backyard reception by a lavish pool?

This Vera Wang dress was so stunning, I just had to show off the tulle with a second photo. California weddings demand drama and this dress is nothing short of that. Beautiful, loose waves keep that laid back look going and a brilliant princess cut ring shows off the glamour of old Hollywood.
