Prepare to be transported! This styled shoot is bringing us all the European destination wedding feels despite taking place in sunny California. Heather Benge planned a pastel-filled day brimming with soft, romantic details. For the ceremony, CeCe Designs created a floral arch with sprawling garden roses to bring a decidedly European touch while allowing the venue’s stunning architecture to shine through. All the dreamy details of the day were artfully captured in the imagery by Lisette OC Photography. Take a trip to Europe in the full gallery.

From Lisette OC Photography… While couples everywhere may have had to put their dream destination wedding on hold due to COVID-19, it’s still possible to achieve a dreamy destination-esque affair to celebrate your love with your guests. The design team behind this styled shoot brought soft, organic, and romantic details to this ceremony & reception design, all based around a pastel color palette primarily consisting of lilac and blush tones.

For the stationery suite, a romantic design with old world-European flair came to life to add a special touch. When it comes to style, the bride wore a lilac-toned tiered gown, adding a modern pop of color while still feeling classic in the silhouette. The groom’s navy tux perfectly balanced her romantic gown!

The reception space was accented with asymmetrical floral installations, and the tables were set with handmade personalized engraved cheese boards that doubled as guest favors and place cards. The cake pulled everything together with floral touches, especially lavender to mimic the shades throughout the bride’s gown and the florals!
