One of the most rewarding aspects of our job as wedding planners is getting the chance to work with some amazing clients who make our hearts soar. Today, we’re thrilled to share a glimpse into Nicole & Eldred‘s beautiful wedding at the Historic Cottage San Clemente. Not only was this couple a joy to work with (read: easy-going, fun, hilarious, down to earth), we were inspired by their huge hearts and couldn’t wait to watch them tie the knot. Christopher Todd Studios was on the scene to capture some beautiful moments at the ocean-side ceremony and delightfully colorful reception. We couldn’t be happier for Nicole & Eldred and can’t wait to see what the future holds. Congratulations you two!!

Forget the crazy heels, we loved that Nicole went for a dainty and comfy Toms wedges.
How cute are these shoes??

Nicole looked beautiful on the big day! We loved the hair and makeup stylings by Amanda of Lasting Look, and her gorgeous gown from Blush Bridal Couture!

Colorful blooms and succulents by Evanrose Floral Design adorned both the ceremony space and reception area. We couldn’t get enough of all those vibrant colors!
Handy and crafty Father of the Bride actually built (and hauled!) this structure for his lovely daughter’s wedding. Check out that craftsmanship!! Gorgeous!

How lovely are these two?! We love you Nicole & Eldred!
This was their path to the ceremony and to the rest of their happily ever after… LOVE!

Now off to the reception for the party and fun!

Guests signed both a book and customized serving tray for the newlyweds. Such a great idea!

We couldn’t get over how beautiful the Historic Cottage San Clemente looked at sunset.
It definitely highlighted our warm summer theme perfectly!

The couple put together little s’mores kits for their guests inside an adorable mason jar!

Appetizers and finger-foods by Tasting Spoon Food Truck were AH-MAZING.
We’re getting hungry just looking at these photos!

Comfy blankets and pillows kept family and friends warm as the ocean-side venue got chilly!
Love the colors and prints! Perfect for this beachy Spanish-Southwest inspired wedding.

Thank you to all of our vendors who made Nicole & Eldred’s day absolutely perfect!
