love in san diego, california {anna & dino}

Anna and Dino were married in San Diego on July 18, 2009. I did a quick post about their wedding months ago yet now it’s time to share the details of their beautiful day.

Their rehearsal dinner took place at The Crossings in Carlsbad, California.

This is Dino’s dad! He’s an awesome guy and I was amused that most of the guys,without discussing, wore blue shirts.

I loved all of the elegant touches to this wedding. The pillows added along the rock walls, unique benches placed along the edge over looking the lily pond, lanterns and twinkle lights draped from the trees, succulents, and dashes of white birch. I LOVE white birch and have recently added branches in my bedroom loft area.

Anna and Dino . . . thank you for allowing me to share this day with you! I really enjoy being around you two and fell in love with your sweet families as well. Plus, Casey and Melissa were hysterical. I would love to have a glass wine with you the next time I’m in California.

xoxo.
