Boho Wedding by the Ocean

Eucalyptus and white roses lined the aisle in the Rock Garden at the Casino San Clemente for Chloe and Noah’s wedding. Pampas grass and blush flowers were arranged over the outdoor mantle for the bride and groom’s ceremony backdrop where they would soon be exchanging vows. Guests arrived and signed into the photo guest book by snapping a selfie and writing well wishes to Chloe and Noah before taking their seats. The bride and groom arrived separately to The Casino to ensure they didn’t see each other before their walk down the aisle. Soft music cued up and Noah was first to make an entrance followed by the bridesmaids and groomsmen dressed in tan and champagne colored dresses and suits. Lastly, Chloe walked down the aisle in a boho inspired lace wedding dress while Noah tried to hold his composure as he watched his soon to be wife. Everyone sat back down once Chloe was side by side with Noah and their officiant began the ceremony. Handwritten vows were read by the bride and groom while holding back tears and rings were exchanged before the two were pronounced husband and wife. A roar of cheering from the crowd could be heard from around the venue as soon as the newlyweds sealed the deal with a kiss.

Life-size Jenga was set up for guests to play while enjoying Chicken Jalapeno Empanadas and Hearts of Palm Ceviche during cocktail hour. Family and bridal party photos were taken for lasting memories and the bride and groom snuck away for sunset beach photos just before dinner. Reception tables were draped in ivory linen on the Patio of the Stars and a wooden seating chart display made it easy for guests to find their designated tables. Once everyone was seated, Chloe and Noah arrived shortly after and thanked their guests for joining them in celebrating their marriage before dismissing each table to the dinner buffet. A delicious menu of Elote Corn Salad, Vegan Ranch Style Beans, Pasilla Rice, Southwest Chicken, Fajita Veggies, and Jay’s Famous Tortilla Chips and Salsa was chosen by the bride and groom during their planning process with our Event Specialist, Brittany, and enjoyed by all guests at the wedding! First dances were shared and toasts were made before the evening came to an end.
