Oceanfront Wedding at Malibu West Beach Club
As I sit here in single digit temps of New England weather, this Malibu fete is bringing the warmest glow to my soul. Ashley and Samantha's love will surely wrap you in warmth, too—from their sweet first look to a ceremony with jaw-dropping Pacific backdrop to their portraits in the sand, all coordinated by Details Darling. See their entire celebration captured by Katie Edwards in the full gallery!
Samantha is a beach girl from Santa Monica who works in the entertainment industry producing live television & award shows. She’s a girly girl who loves to travel, shop & hang with friends, and she always puts family first. Ashley is a valley girl from Woodland Hills, who works in the hardwood floors business. She is also a personal trainer & massage therapist. She’s always down for a hike or to go on a new adventure.
Because they are both from LA, they each have a huge love for the beach. They knew they wanted a wedding that was outside & one that gave them a “wild & free” feeling while at the venue… as if you could throw your hands up & twirl around, without a care in the world. Neither of them had been to Malibu West Beach Club before, but after doing lots of research, it looked like a great option. When they walked in for the first time, they immediately knew that was it. As soon as you open the glass doors to the main room, you see the open concept reception room, and the expansive outside balcony, which overlooks a 180-degree view of the beautiful blue ocean & sandy beach. You can hear the waves crashing on the shore from the moment you walk in… and the golden sun beaming upon your face. It was perfect & exactly what they wanted.
More than just about everything else (outside of her friends & family), Sam is absolutely obsessed with sunsets…especially at the beach. So Sam & Ash decided they wanted to base the whole theme/vibe of their wedding (from décor to timing) around the sunset. They used muted, but warm sunset hues & tones in all of their florals, rentals & even their desserts! They used the term “beachy chic” to explain the beautiful aesthetic of their wedding.
From the Bride... It was an absolute dream! The most magical day ever! It's truly an incredible feeling to celebrate & share your love with all of your closest friends & family surrounding you. We will never forget the feeling we had when we walked into the room for the first time. We poured our whole hearts into making this day happen and everything turned our better than we could have ever imagined!
