San Diego California Estate Wedding

Whimsical, romantic, and beautiful, are the three words that we chose to describe this estate wedding. Tucked away within the lush forests and gorgeous gardens in San Diego, California, the couple said “I do”, with their closest friends and family. Then throw in some pretty artistic and lovely details created by the bride herself, then this wedding is worth chatting about. We love it when brides add their personal touch to make their wedding day even more magical. But what is distracting us at the moment is the seriously gorgeous floral swing which has our wedding loving hearts full of love. Take a look at what JEFF+AMBER had a chance to capture at this stunning wedding.

From JEFF+AMBER

Brooke and Michael have such a unique bond between their families and you could see and feel the love the whole entire day through.   Brooke did all their details and artwork herself as she comes from an amazingly talented family of artists.  

Every detail was so unique, the love and heartfelt words that came out of every speech was so inspiring!  It felt as if everyone that attended their wedding day knew they where special to even be a part of this group!

There is a true sense of gratitude when you get to witness love as strong as these two have!  Dad’s tears and speech about turning Michael away when he first asked to propose because he knew Michael wasn’t fully the person he was able to be left the whole crowd breathless.  Then to hear that Michael went off to become a Doctor to further win the hand and blessing of her father was something out of a love story.

When you browse through our favorites it’s important for you to know these details as it builds their special story so much more!  Not only are they the cutest, sweetest and most genuine people we’ve had the privilege to get to know and capture, they are true friends and good people.

Top Three Winter Venue Ideas

Winter is a time of celebrating with family and friends, keeping warm and cuddling by the fire.  Though winter often gets a bad reputation for chilly weather, that doesn’t make it off limits for hosting a wonderful wintery wedding.  There are plenty of ways to have your dream winter wedding but here are our top three favorite ideas for choosing a winter wedding venue.

Estate and Mansion Weddings

Winter is the perfect season for an estate or mansion wedding.  Since the weather outside is cold and dark,  create a warm and inviting haven for your guests.  Candlelight is key in the wintertime.  The warm glow will softly illuminate your space giving it that romantic feel essential for a winter wedding.  An important thing to remember about winter nuptials is that your venue may already be beautifully decorated for the holidays.  Be sure to visit your decorated venue to see what you have to work with.

Break with Convention

Since winter is not the traditional wedding season, why not choose a nontraditional venue? Instead of hosting your day at a hotel or church how about a library? Old stone libraries can provide the same gothic look as a church but in a refreshing new way.  I have also seen weddings at theaters, museums and at the zoo! Treat your guests to something new and different and share in those special memories for years to come.

Christmas in Hawaii?

You Can't Go Wrong With A Private Beach in Hawaii for a Marriage Proposal!

Before you set out venue shopping decide how wintery you want your wedding to be.  Are we talking New England with five feet of snow or 70 degree beach weather in Hawaii?  The great thing about a wedding in the off season is off season prices!  Many vendors offer discounted prices during the winter months and venues are more likely to have a wider selection of available dates.  If you are planning to travel be careful around the holidays since fares increase closer to Christmas and New Years.

Enjoy planning a spectacular winter wedding!
