From San Diego weddings to Los Angeles weddings to San Francisco weddings, California is one of our largest and most epic states for offbeat weddings.

A wine cave pizza wedding is a real thing & it's spectacular

A wine cave pizza party wedding is a real thing & it’s spectacular

Chris and Brianna exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Sequoia National Park with their immediate families then we headed north to celebrate in Sonoma with their friends. They greeted guests for a tour and wine cave pizza party(!) at Benziger Family Winery. Then it was a break before the day-after wedding reception at Kenwood Inn and Spa. Multiple days, multiple groups, multiple reasons to LOVE this wedding.
Let’s see how it all played out (including the stunning fairy-lit patio reception!)…

Bring a date or go stag: just get yourself to this nostalgic prom-style wedding

Bring a date or go stag: just get yourself to this nostalgic PROM-THEMED wedding

It’s time to relive your high school years (or get a kick-ass REDO!) at this retro-tastic PROM-THEMED wedding. Just to whet your appetite: Christy and Stuart were crowned bride and groom, they wore sashes, roses, and crowns, and even rocked the “surprise” of it all. The guestbook was — you guessed it — a YEARBOOK. There was a balloon arch, prom poses at the photo booth station, a pink stretch limo, corsages, and it was all held in an actual high school gym (winner for wedding venue we hadn’t yet seen!).

Whether you remember your high school years fondly or not, you can’t deny the nostalgic magic of this throwback wedding in all its prom glory. Grab some punch, spike it with something good, and get ready to party, prom-style…

Superheroes, comic books, and an heirloom dress slayed us at this California wedding

Superheroes, motorcycles, & an heirloom dress slayed us at this Pasadena wedding

Osdael and Breseida’s Pasadena wedding was completely customized to their personalities, including showcasing their love of motorcycle riding by replacing their guestbook with their personal motorcycle helmets. That’s one way of keeping everyone on your mind, literally. They both tied in their love of superheroes in to the cake, cupcakes, and the groomsmen’s cufflinks and socks. Y’all know we love a good comic book and superhero wedding! Hulk smash that cake.

A rustic music festival wedding in the towering redwoods

A rustic music festival wedding in the towering redwoods

A ceremony beneath towering redwoods. A giant rainy parade (with colorful parasols!) from ceremony to reception led by an epic brass band. Bad-ass live music into the wee hours. A couple who both jumped in to join the bands! Yep, it was just as awesome as it sounds.

In addition to the redwoods at Pema Osel Ling, there were cabins, camping, and hula hooping in a wedding dress. Megan and Dave were tearful, joyful, and music festival vibes were everywhere. Don’t miss the brollies, gorgeous cakes, and face cut-outs on the dance floor!
