Our Southern California wedding venue

April 16, 2012

Hello Cakelets! Amanda, here. I’ve been knee deep in wedding planning land as you can imagine (along with our planners Bash, Please), but you’ve been on my mind and I’m excited to start sharing some of Tim and I’s wedding inspiration and plans with you! Starting with “the” wedding venue. First of all, thank you for sharing your wedding venue ideas with me…there were so many good ones in there! We’ve landed on Casa Romantica in San Clemente.. with its beautiful ocean view, slight retro feel and glamorously exotic vibe. It’s a very intimate place.. our guests will walk through a butterfly garden on the way to the ocean bluff for the ceremony, the reception will be held in the open-air courtyard, with palm trees and lush plants. Oh, and there’s this cute little beehive outdoor fireplace for guests to cozy up after dinner, on our mid-century Yeah Rentals furniture. I can’t wait to see how Max will capture our big day.

Another thing that was important to us was to have our family and friends close together for the weekend and not spread out and driving all over Los Angeles. We wanted everyone to be able to walk to restaurants, shops, the beach, a wine bar perhaps.. and San Clemente is about the cutest little town for this. Tim and I love California so much, and this will be the perfect place to woo our guests.

Stay tuned for more updates on our wedding, including our engagement photo post soon!
