Romantic Indoor San Juan Capistrano Wedding Ceremony With White Rose Details

Mia and Justin met in front of Serra Plaza’s draped archways for their first look. A brush on the shoulder turned Justin around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a lace applique wedding dress. Smiles and happy tears immediately filled their faces as compliments were shared between them. The bride and groom took the moment to read personal, handwritten vows to one another, then headed to Mission San Juan Capistrano to pose for romantics as guests began arriving at Serra Plaza for the ceremony.

Inside the Lounge, white floral arrangements and candles lined the aisle all the way up to the fireplace backdrop framed in by more floral arrangements. As soon as everyone was seated, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Mia arm-in-arm with her father. Once together at the head of the aisle, Mia and Justin recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Aperol Spritz and Classic Margaritas were poured for cocktail hour and Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons, Fig, Goat Cheese, and Mascarpone Tarts, and Caprese Skewers. were tray passed. Guests mixed and mingled while the newlyweds posed for photos together as husband and wife, and once the sun was fully set, everyone headed out to the Courtyard for the reception.

Candles and sparkling chandeliers lit up the courtyard wedding in a romantic glow. White roses filled bud vases running down the center of tables and black napkins added a pop of contrast. Mia and Justin made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at the sweetheart table. Pear and Walnut Salad was served followed by Classic Filet Mignon and Zucchini Lime Chicken with Roasted Broccolini and Smashed Baby Potatoes. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Arielle. After dinner the couple cut into our Stucco style white cake with raspberry creme filling and invited their guests to indulge in our Italian Dessert Station with a collection of Chocolate Dipped Cannoli, Florentine Cookies, Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Bars, Tiramisu Dessert Shots, and Spumoni Tarts. The evening ended with everyone back inside the Lounge with celebratory dancing and singing.
