Heather and Chris were married at Paradise Point Resort overlooking Mission Bay in San Diego, Calif. last fall. The bride wore a beaded bodice wedding gown with a ruffled skirt, accessorized with a shoulder-length veil, while the groom wore a navy blue suit, accessorized with a coral bow tie and custom gold cufflinks. Monograms were seen throughout their theme! From the invitations, bridesmaids’ getting ready button-up shirts, ceremony programs, and dance floor. Bridesmaids wore bright bateau neckline dresses and carried bouquets featuring garden roses, tulips, succulents, and dusty millers. Guests sat in ghost chairs during the ceremony while the couple said their vows to one another underneath a rustic arch. Who made an appearance? Two of the dogs — dressed to impress! Cocktail hour followed with lots of Instagram pictures using the hashtag #hendonalvarezwedding and fun facts on napkins like “Chris proposed to Heather at L’Auberge Resort in Sedona, Arizona.” The reception was over-the-top glamorous. Did you see the silver sequined linens? But there was also some ambiance with floating candle centerpieces in hurricane vases. Favors were mini champagne bottles with striped straws attached with a note that said, “Toast now or save for later.” See the full board here.
