Timeless Nature-Inspired Laguna Beach Wedding
The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision
Diana and Tory imagined a wedding that infused both classic and timeless with the love of nature and wildflowers.
Proposal Story
Diana and Tory met at work in San Francisco, and both of them later transferred to the company’s headquarters in Maryland where they settled and their love bloomed. While on a vacation in Maine, they were casually relaxing at a dreamy park, enjoying a view of historic lighthouses and an outdoor wedding under a nearby gazebo. Tory asked Diana, “Is there any other place you would rather be at this minute? Diana answered, “No, I would rather be here than another place right now.” At that, Tory pulled out a beautiful ring he had purchased without Diana’s knowledge and proposed. She said yes.

Special Detail #2
The reception room was turned into a sleek speakeasy vibe with moss green velvet couches, aged cognac leather seats and antique bookshelves.
Special Detail #3
The Bride's Great Grandfather saved his buttons from his own wedding back in 1947, since then all of the bride's brothers have worn a button on the inside pocket for their own weddings. Tory was honored to uphold the tradition as all the men in the family kept one in their jacket.
