On a warm and windy day in April, Dana & Ray hosted their friends and family at their Annenberg Beach House wedding. The Annenberg is such a lovely venue with so much history! The Marion Davies Guest House, seen below, was designed by the same architect as the Hearst Castle, Julia Morgan.

Ray’s brother, Jake, officiated a hilarious and heartfelt ceremony. Jake’s opening line, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to celebrate this thing called life”, paid homage to Prince who had passed away only two days before.

After the ceremony, Dana & Ray waved to well-wishers on the beach. Everyone loves a wedding!

While guests enjoyed acoustic music by the Jason Sulkin Trio and hors d’oeuvres by Patina Catering, Dana & Ray enjoyed some time on the beach. Little Boat Photography worked their magic and snapped these stunners!

Dana & Ray love color and wanted to incorporate some beach elements as well. Their entire color story can be found in their awesome cake, by Nicole Bakes Cakes. Check out the octopus cake stand, and the buttercream that looks like waves!

Their color story continues in Dana’s epic cascading bouquet. Can I just say I LOVE a cascading bouquet? These need to make a comeback ASAP.

These bright and festive centerpieces provided a wonderful pop of color for the tables.

The Groom & his men were well appointed with their bold & unique succulent boutonnieres.
Thanks, Dana & Ray, for having me along on your wedding planning journey! I had such a wonderful time getting to know you. Your wedding day was so colorful and fun, just like you!
