Before I Do Events: Wedding Wednesday: Shanel and Louis' Glamorous Backyard Wedding

Wedding Wednesday: Shanel and Louis' Glamorous Backyard Wedding

When you work with a bride that naturally exudes glamour, like our bride Shanel, we just knew her wedding was going to be absolutely stunning! Shanel and Louis got married at their family's breathtaking, wedding-ready home in Rancho Santa Fe, surrounded by their closest friends and family dressed in their black-tie-best.

All guests were greeted with tray passed champagne to start the celebration as they entered the breathtaking backyard. The beautiful couple exchanged their wedding vows during an elegant and very touching ceremony. The home's backyard and orange grove provided an absolutely perfect location and backdrop for their beautiful matrimony. After they said "I do" they happily celebrated the night away in a flower-filled tent at The Santaluz Club. Thanks to Amy at The Flower Shop Encinitas for overflowing the tent with lush white, blush and neutral blooms from top to bottom.

The band from Encore Entertainment was nothing short of amazing that night, and as soon as "Louie Louie" started (in honor of the groom and his father) everyone was singing along on stage! A raw moment we are certain will be recapped at family events for years to come. The desserts were a tasty hit consisting of pink velvet cake, Italian cookies and I mean who can resist a hand-piped cannoli bar by Roma Market!

As their romantic and fun filled wedding day came to an end, Shanel and Louis took their exit through a grand sparkler tunnel, because what's more fun than that! They headed off into newly wedded bliss and you can certainly see from the photos just how in love these two really are! We wish them a lifetime of happiness and are so happy we could be a part of their special day!
