Summertime Wedding at Serra Plaza with White Florals

Sara and Bradley met at Mission San Juan Capistrano for their first look on the afternoon of their wedding. A tap on the shoulder turned Bradley around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a strapless white wedding dress. Smiles filled their faces and sweet compliments were shared. After posing for photos together around the Mission, the bride and groom joined their wedding party for group photos then headed to Serra Plaza to continue the celebration.

Guests signed Sara and Bradley’s gust book and found their seats in the Serra Plaza Courtyard. Chandeliers hung over an aisle lined in white floral arrangements and more white flowers decorated the Spanish fountain backdrop. As soon as everyone was seated, the music cued up and the wedding party made their entrances. In front of all their closest friends and family, Bradley and Sara recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Thai Lemongrass Meatballs, Seared Ahi on Wonton Chips, and Fig, Goat Cheese and Mascarpone Tarts were tray passed around the Lounge for cocktail hour, and the bar served up Mojito and Paloma signature drinks. Guests mixed and mingled and posed for photos with the newlyweds until it was time to head back out to the Courtyard for the reception.

Tables draped in white surrounded a white dance floor and were topped with white floral centerpieces, custom printed menus, and brown napkins. Sara and Bradley made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared and Thai Three Flavored BBQ Chicken, Vietnamese Braised Shorrt Ribs, Pineapple Fried Rice, Spicy Szechuan Green Beans, and Pear and Walnut Salad were served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. After dinner, the couple cut into our red velvet cake with cappuccino mousse filling and invited their guests to indulge in a slice for dessert. The evening ended back inside the Lounge with friends and family all dancing with Sara and Bradley and sharing their well wishes.
