Neutral Manhattan Beach Wedding Inspiration for Southern California Brides

There's nothing quite as romantic as the ever-restless sea... the tides, the shifting sands, the delivery of unmatched sunset backdrops. Maybe it's why many of us look to the ocean to celebrate love. This beautiful editorial, planned and designed by Shannon Leahy and captured by Larissa Cleveland, is all of the above wrapped into one and made for the SoCal bride.

From Shannon Leahy... If there is one thing our clients are always requesting it's a wedding on the beach. We wanted to create beautiful inspiration for our Southern California Brides of a Winter Wedding on the Beach. We tapped creatives Elsa Madeleine Design and Jasmine Rae cakes to make the most beautiful paper and cake design. Raw, organic and subtle just like the sea. For the decor we worked with Flowerwild, Theoni and The Ark to create a neutral, minimalist palette that showcased the natural beauty of the Southern California coastline in muted tones. This most stunning gown from Jin Wang showcased pearl inlays that inspired a lot of the mood and decor for this shoot. We love the way this team came together to create a beautiful environment and the incredible photos that Larissa Cleveland was able to capture and hope this shoot leaves you inspired!
