L’Auberge Del Mar Wedding, Part Three
Chris and Nicole

I'm so excited to share this post because Part Three of Chris and Nicole's classy vintage wedding at L'Auberge Del Mar is bursting with fabulous details. A huge shout out goes to Emily Smiley who rocked the vintage-meets-elegance details and to Karen Tran who outdid herself on the fabulously pretty floral design. Platinum Pro provided all of the rentals, included the long wooden table around which Chris and Nicole's 40 guests dined family style to the sounds of the ocean with romantic bistro lights strung overhead.

But enough from me, let's get on with Part Three! After the ceremony, I hung out with Chris and Nicole along the seaside cliffs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So sweet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since their wedding was so small, Chris and Nicole could vamp up every little detail around the family style table including the hanging crystals from the bistro lights overhead.

 

Sweet Cheeks Baking Company provided the simply sweet cake and Emily Smiley adorned the table with old favorite books mixed with fun vases and bowls.

 

 

 

I fell in love with the patterned plates, the long napkins, and the personalized menu at each place setting.

 

 

Chris and Nicole chose mason jars for their custom cocktail topped off with cute striped straws.

Every place setting had a custom menu with each guest's name on the front and opened up to a personal thank you note on the inside trimmed with vintage ribbon and stamped with the couple's custom monogram logo. The stationary was fabulous!

 

The invitations and save-the-dates were to die for. The invites came in a personalized padded fabric box that matched the menu cards with an envelope that opens and closes with a  cute decorative magnet. Adorable! The save-the-dates were cute bottle of sand tucked in a delivery box with a lovely tag attached.

 

It was a night full of smiles...

 

Toasts...

 

Tears...

 

 

Laughter...

And plenty of good food!!

 

 

 

 

 

After the sunset dinner, we headed inside for a night of dancing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chris and Nicole: You guys knocked our socks off with your adorable style, your deep love for each of your guests, and your passion for each other. We seriously couldn't stop smiling the entire day and have absolutely fallen in love with your sincere hearts and quirky personalities. It was truly an honor to document this gorgeous day for you!

Hugs,

Erin
