A Beautiful Ocean View Wedding at Two Historic Venues in the Heart of La Jolla

The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision

Their style design included various textures, from the floral arrangement, dress choice, to having various vases on the reception tables. Their goal for their wedding was for their guests to enjoy the ocean views, and to soak in the ambiance. The couple did this by having guests dine outside surrounded by string lights and candles during sunset. Hailey and Morgan wanted to have a bit of fun with the reception space and included a giant disco ball to encourage guests to stay out on the dance floor.

Proposal Story
Morgan and Hailey were planning on attending a friend's wedding in Italy. Morgan used this as the perfect opportunity to propose and he planned for them to spend a few nights in Santorini, Greece. Morgan proposed to Hailey at sunrise overlooking the Aegean Sea surrounded by the view of the Cyclades Islands.
The Fashion
Wedding Gown

Hailey's Netta BenShabu wedding gown 'Diana' was inspired by Hailey Bieber's wedding dress. She wore a form fitting lace down with detailed lace sleeves that complimented the dress.

Bridesmaid Dresses

Hailey's bridesmaids all wore pastel pink dresses from Revolve using different designers such as Amanda Uprichard, Katie May, and Lovers and Friends.

Groomsman Attire

Morgan and his groomsmen kept a classic look wearing black tuxedos. Their officiant Tyler Glenn, wore a pink velvet suit coat and sparkling glitter shoes to compliment the bridesmaid's dresses.

The Details
Food & Drink

Morgan and Hailey both had their own signature drink, 'Hailey's Crush' and 'Spicy Morgarita' with their pup-inspired drink stirrer after their fur baby, Brody.

Florals & Decor

Abigail from Cottage Garden Florals, "Hailey’s vision for her wedding florals was timeless whites with tons of texture. We went heavy on the blooms, incorporating as many seasonal summer ingredients as possible and light on the foliage to make way for the flowers to really shine. From the whimsical bouquets to the 200 candlelit mono-bloom bud vases to the blooming ceremony pillars to the fluffy dance floor ceiling feature — texture was the name of the game! " A favorite small detail of mine was the florals floating in the water fountain. It added such an elegant touch tying in all the features the venue had to offer.

Wedding Cake

They had a two-tiered wedding cake with floral accents provided by their florist, Cottage Garden Florals.

Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs

During the ceremony, the couple had a String Trio performing as Hailey went down the aisle. During the reception, everyone jumped out of their seats and danced when the DJ played Tyler's hit song with Neon Trees, "Everybody Talks."
