Dusty Blue Fairytale Wedding

Romantic, dusty blue tones in a fairytale setting - this is what dreamy weddings are made of! Shannon and Sean’s wedding day was one we will never forget. Between surprising their guests with their Corgi, Finn, trotting down the aisle as their ring bearer to the emotional first touch that had us all tearing up, we just adored this wedding day. Let’s look back on all of our favorite moments together!

Soft clouds and light blue skies covered the golf course that surrounded Legends Courtyard where Shannon and Sean would later say their I Dos. Le Fleur Atelier adorned the fountain with luscious floral. Delicate blush roses lined the aisle for a stunning walkway. During the ceremony, Sean awaited anxiously for his bride to walk. Shannon walked down in the most stunning flowy dress from White Blossom Bridal. When the officiant asked for the rings, their adorable Corgi Finn made it down the aisle in a mini tux. He must of known this day was important, because he was certainly on his best behavior!

Before ceremony, Shannon and Sean decided on doing a first touch. We carefully paired them back to back just off to the side of the golf course and it was truly perfect. When exchanging vows, there wasn’t a dry eye around. These two were so ready to get married and had the most touching words for each other. I love being able to witness moments like these!

While getting ready for all the festivities, Vanessa from Vanessa's Pet Sitting, brought Finn over to the Mission Inn. Finn got to do a spontaneous first look with his dad and then surprised his mom during her bridal portrait shots. If you are ever considering having your Fur Baby on wedding day (and your venue allows it) DO IT! Vanessa was amazing to work with. She pampered Finn and make sure he was prepared for his role as the ring bearer. She had a little water bowl, treats and his special tux + leash ready to go. I will always recommend her to my couples!

Mission Inn's grounds make for the most stunning portrait shots. We adore all the sunset photos and walks along the golf course with our couples. Shannon and Sean's portraits were absolutely magical!

Walking into reception was magical. Delicate white fabric hung from the ceiling. Greenery dangled from the antique chandeliers above. Dusty blue and blush floral created a soft feel at each table. All of these intricate details made the room feel so romantic and intimate.

Shannon and Sean cut the cake to my favorite – Harry Style’s “Watermelon Sugar” and last-minute shoved cake in each other’s faces. I personally love it when couples have fun and do this! Would you and your partner do this on wedding day?

Towards the end of the night, we snuck them out to Legends Terrace along with their wedding party and had a sparkler exit. I love the way Miguel and Danny from Sycamore & Cypress captured these two running through. They were so excited and it showed!
