Hanna and Ted’s Beachy Wedding at The Adamson House, Malibu Fine Art Wedding Photography

Hanna and Ted’s beachside wedding in Malibu, CA is an amazing example of DIY done right!  The bride and her mother planned and designed the event to perfection with the help of Crystal from Orange Blossom Special Events.  It was truly a family affair with the bride doing all of the calligraphy and the bride’s mother doing all of the florals, using the bride’s favorite flower- dahlias- as a centerpiece for the day.  The Adamson House is situated in a beautiful garden adjacent to the beach in Malibu and the bride used elements from both the sea and the garden in the decor for the day.  The bridesmaids donned different shades and silhouettes of Jenny Yoo gowns with long trailing ribbons and bouquets of Dahlias. Dahlia’s were also used in lanterns and terrariums placed on the side of the aisle for the ceremony, but the bride and groom decided to forgo a large floral installation  instead choosing to leave the incredible ocean view behind them open for their guests to enjoy.  The bride’s “man of honor” officiated the ceremony and the couple updated the jewish tradition of the groom stomping on the glass at the end of the ceremony by both the bride and groom stomping on it.  After the ceremony guests enjoyed the bride and groom’s signature cocktails, “The Bel Air Bullet” and the “Rolling Hills Refresher” along with passed hors d’ouerves including mini ahi tuna cones and mini sliders in the courtyard of the house while also enjoying tours of the historic house led by docents.  Guests found their names on hand calligraphed and watercolored escort cards made by the bride placed in individual seashells as they entered into the reception on the lawn of the house right on the ocean.  Dahlia’s were used once again nestled in leafy green runners along with terrariums with gold candles on the farm tables paired with French bistro x back chairs and sea shells placed atop each napkin.  While guests made their way to their tables the bride and groom enjoyed a moment alone taking a walk through the bougainvillea catching the last of the evening’s golden rays.  Command performance set up incredible food stations all around the perimeter of the garden for guests to enjoy including street tacos, a California Grill, Feast from the East and a Mac and Cheese bar.   Guests danced the night away under a canopy of twinkly lights and enjoyed cake from Sweet Lady Jane.  See it featured on the front page of Style Me Pretty.
