Monterey California Wedding

Jamie and Ryan chose the most beautiful venue to fit their personalities. To sum it up, their kind demeanor and huge hearts are very apparent. They greeted every guest with open arms and genuine conversation, myself included. Deanne has been chatting with me, and she greeted me with a huge hug upon arrival! I truly felt welcomed by Jamie and Ryan’s entire family.  

Jamie chose dove gray-blue tones for her wedding with pops of gold and simple greenery. In other words, I was in heaven! Jamie’s Jimmy Choo shoes were show stoppers and I can’t get over how pretty they were – in the perfect shade of gold! Ryan wore a crisp blue suit with a white tie to balance out the lighter blue tones of the day. Furthermore, Jamie’s bridesmaids chose tonal blue gowns. 

CARMEL MISSION CEREMONY:

Father Junipero Serra founded the Carmel Mission in 1770. The beautiful church, constructed of sandstone and stucco still stands today. We also know the Carmel Mission as the Mission San Carlos Borroméo del río Carmelo. The Carmel Mission Basilica is a gorgeous and historic location for a wedding ceremony in Monterey, California.

CLUB DEL MONTE RECEPTION:

Their guests felt like royalty when welcomed with cocktails in the Quarterdeck Lounge. The Club Del Monte hotel’s majestic lobby was built on a grand scale. It features soaring 30-foot ceilings, crosshatched with hand-painted wooden beams. Furthermore, two rows of stone columns grace both sides of the room, framing a towering floor-to-ceiling window that overlooks the estate-like grounds. Jamie had gorgeous gold accents pulled from the detailing provided by the venue.
