This weekend I had the pleasure of driving down the coast to go to a BEAUTIFUL wedding in Ojai, California. Driving down the 1 was absolutely breathtaking! I swear, you could get out of the car every 10 minutes to take in the view.
But now to the wedding! This was an absolutely gorgeous, personalized, DIY outdoor wedding. I am a huge fan of making weddings feel like the couple, and this couple nailed it! Here's a few of the personal touches that made the day so special!
The ceremony and reception took place outdoors. There were palm trees and foliage everywhere, swooping and hanging to make the perfect jungle canopies. Lanterns, twinkle lights, and shells were adorned everywhere!
Scattered among the trees were mason jars filled with stones and tea candles. The tables were covered in cut wine and beer bottles, filled with succulents and hydrangeas.
I love cozy furniture outdoors, and this was such a perfect little lounge area!
The "guest book" was a tall recycled glass vase from Spain. The Bride and Groom filled baskets with card stock, sea shells, and even souvenirs from their trips to Joshua Tree! They asked everyone to write a note on any of the objects and place them in the vase.
The happy couple!
After the ceremony, everyone gathered around the pool area to have beer, wine, and appetizers. How cute are the mason jars for serving beer? I especially loved the personalized koozies representing the place where the Groom proposed!
The rest of the night was filled with food, music, dancing, laughter, and so much happiness and love! It was a beautiful night under the palm tree canopies and stars!
