Terranea Resort Wedding | Shannon & Ryan

I absolutely adore Shannon and Ryan and it was such an honor to plan their wedding. The love these two share for one another is so inspiring and their wedding day was spectacularly beautiful.  Dodie from White Lilac did an incredible job of bringing their wedding day dreams to life. Shannon's oversized lush garden bouquet of greenery and white blooms was such a showstopper and definitely set a trend for many brides that followed. Her beautiful bridesmaids carried complementary bouquets of ranunculus, lisianthus and nerine blooms.  Shannon was radiant in her Monique Lhuillier gown and literally took Ryan's breath away when he saw her for the first time.  Such a sweet moment captured perfectly by Brandon Kidd!  The ceremony, with the Pacific Ocean backdrop, was overflowing with greenery and white flowers, including hydrangea and more ranunculus and lisianthus blooms.  Lush, textured garlands of greenery lined the aisle that Shannon walked down towards the love of her life.  Following the intimate ceremony at Catalina Point, guests enjoyed Cocktail Hour and found their seating assignments on handmade soaps that also served as escort cards. It was such a sweet detail that guests could enjoy at home long after the wedding.  The ballroom continued the theme of natural elements of greenery and candlelight and I just love the round white seamless dance floor - we don't see that done very often and I love the uniqueness of it! A focal point of the reception was definitely the delectable dessert table with the elegant - and delicious! - cake by Vanilla Bake Shop at the center, which was perfect for this super sweet couple! Congratulations again to Shannon and Ryan. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
