Hello hello! Pardon the hiatus for the weekend from the blog. We were in California for a wedding, and I didn’t bring my computer to try to travel light. I also left my big camera at home and took our new Canon PowerShot. It’s a great camera with a quick shutter speed and extra clear images. If you’re looking for a new camera, I’m happy to share the details.
Anyway, we had a wonderful weekend enjoying the weather especially and catching up with Jeffrey’s friends from law school. This couple met in Austin during law school and the wedding was a wonderful tribute to city of Austin and their new home of California.
I loved everything about this wedding, and I promise, I don’t say that lightly. I loved the colors that matched the ocean and outdoors, the flowers and details of having bridesmaids carry different white flowers, the food, band, and after party Austin club theme.
Here are a few pictures of the wedding.
Ceremony at 2 p.m. at a church, I’ve never been to a mid-afternoon wedding.
The reception–St. Regis Hotel outside, overlooking ocean in the distance and hotel all around. Such amazingly beautiful grounds. We have stayed at the hotel before, and I always thought attending a wedding on the lawn would be so cool. Check!
My afternoon cocktail with a fun straw.
The colors were coral blue and white. It extended on the invitations, wedding program and table runners. Lights hung above the tables and were turned on after dark.
Cute sweetheart table. Honestly, I am usually not a fan of these. It’s your wedding! Talk to your guests! (told you i’m honest) But they weren’t there for maybe 3 minutes, and it was pretty cute.
Such beautiful orchids, tulips and other flowers I don’t know the names of.
It’s a pretty great place to get married.
Bride and groom entering.
The Hoffmans and Gilberts.
Afterparty at “Spill.” Their favorite Austin club on 6th Street when they were in school.
More photos on my personal Facebook page if you’re friends with me. More to come of the rest of our trip.
Looks like a gorgeous wedding! Love that you can see the ocean.
