Coastal Pastel Wedding at The Casino San Clemente

Bella and Jake met in the Casino’s Rock Garden for their first look on the afternoon of their wedding day. A tap on the shoulder turned Jake around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in an off-the-shoulder wedding dress with a smile on her face. The couple shared sweet compliments and posed for photos together and with their bridesmaids and groomsmen, then lined up for the ceremony.

A soft color palette of coral, butter yellow, light blue, and blush florals decorated the Rock Garden fireplace and were arranged at the back of the aisle. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Bella. In front of all their closest friends and loving family, Bella and Jake recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Gorgonzola and Caramelized Onion Bruschetta and Gloria’s Caramelized Bacon Wrapped Franks were tray passed around the Patio of the Stars where wooden fluted cocktail tables and tables draped in geometric and floral patterns sat. Everyone mixed and mingled in the ocean breeze posing for photos together and catching up with the bride and groom. As soon as the sun began to set behind the ocean horizon, guests headed inside for the reception.

Vines and colorful pendant lights hung from the Grand Ballroom ceiling over tables draped in striped linens and topped with blue candlesticks, colorful floral centerpieces, and green glassware. The newlyweds made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. BBQ Boneless Chicken, Pork Belly Burnt Ends, Gourmet Mashed Potatoes, Panko Crusted Mac n Cheese, BBQ Chopped Salad, and Warm Skillet Corn Bread was served while family and friends shared toasts. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. After dinner the bride and groom cut into their wedding cake and invited their guests to indulge in our All American Dessert Station with a collection of gourmet rice krispy treats, strawberry shortcakes, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, mini apple crisps, and banana cream pie shots. The evening ended out on the dance floor with everyone showing off their best dance moves and sharing their well wishes with Jake and Bella.
