Imagine a simple, elegant wedding on the shores of the warm, sunny California coastline. Your toes are tickled by the warm, velvety sand and a soft, gentle breeze playfully ruffles your hair and the skirt of your gown. You’ll walk down the aisle towards the ocean, where the waves gently lap the shore, and say “I do” under a simple arbour laden with flowers in full bloom. It’s a dreamy reality realized at the Cuvier Club in La Jolla, where you’ll find the city’s largest bougainvillea garden (it’s absolutely divine). Share a first look among the vibrant flowers, with a peaceful fountain trickling in the background. The ceremony will take place on the beach, or cliffside if you favor the dramatic, as the sky, which was light blue and bright, is slowly dyed deep shades of orange and red and glittering golden light illuminates the sand. Enjoy an outdoor reception as you listen to the crashing of the waves and the palm trees seem to float in the wind. Or, opt for a celebration indoors under the strings of playfully vintage lights. It’s understated but sophisticated, and the perfect place to start your happily-ever-after.
