Cristina and Bryan's splendid Wedgewood Weddings Carmel celebration took full advantage of the picturesque beach locale.
The pre-ceremony preparations were in full swing as the bridal party gathered against the backdrop of the verdant Santa Lucia Mountains. The dapper groomsmen readied for the big day, then raised a glass to the happy couple, and to friendship. The youngest member of the bridal party entertained himself with a quick game of solitaire. Meanwhile, the radiant Cristina and her squad had some fun posing for the camera, flaunting their bedazzled matching robes.
Back at Monastery Beach, Cristina and Bryan's friends and family gathered under sunny skies to await the arrival of the main event. This dog-loving duo was not about to celebrate without their fur baby: their precious pup was led down the sandy beach for a front row seat to the festivities. Finally, Bryan had his emotional first glimpse at his beautiful bride, escorted by her beaming parents. The new Mr. and Mrs. said their vows framed by the tulle and flower bedecked arch and the stunning waterside view. It was a romantic scene, from the muted beachy hues of the bridal party's attire, to the bountiful pastel blooms and the adorable flower girl.
The festivities continued with Cristina and Bryan's Wedgewood Carmel reception. It was a battle to the finish as the bridesmaids vied for the bouquet toss, while the garter toss was not quite as raucous! Cristina and Bryan concluded this wonderful evening with a final twirl around the dance floor. A perfect day!
