If you are a bride planning a beach wedding, you will not want to miss today's real wedding inspiration on the California coast. Any brides planning an elopement wedding or micro-wedding are going to love this featured wedding with a real Lovella bride! While in the midst of planning a large wedding, the bride and groom decided an elopement was more their style and they ultimately landed on an intimate wedding with only 23 guests, hosted at a private beach cottage along the Pacific Coast Highway. A dreamy location for any of our local California beach brides! The most important thing about planning a wedding is to stay true to who you are as a couple and not what tradition says you should do.
We loved helping our Lovella bride, Heidi, find her dream wedding dress for her elopement wedding on the beach. Sometimes when you know, you know - this was the first dress that Heidi tried on when shopping with us at Lovella! Heidi fell in love with a fitted, strapless wedding dress by Berta for her wedding day. We love the floral lace detailing, waistline bow accent, and crisscross lacing along the sides of this dress, all adding a bit of feminine touches. Paired with detached tulle sleeves, this is the perfect convertible wedding dress for two bridal looks in one.
Our bride Heidi found this gorgeous wedding gown just in time as it was the last dress of this style we had in our inventory and had been discontinued by the bridal designer. Heidi was able to work some magic with her bridal dress alterations team to transform this sample sale bridal dress into the perfect wedding dress for Heidi to walk down the aisle in. By her side, Heidi's bridesmaids wore mix-and-match style bridesmaid dresses in a neutral color palette with subtle pinks, greens, and champagnes that were perfect for an oceanside wedding elopement ceremony.
Thank you, Heidi and Josh, for sharing your beautiful beach wedding photos with us. Heidi, we loved helping you find your dream wedding dress at Lovella!
