A Luxury Beach Wedding at Hotel Del Coronado, Michael + Alisa

Rows of wooden chairs and a decorated arch set up for a Beach Wedding at Hotel Del Coronado under a clear sky. While playing golf with a good friend, Michael met Alisa. The problem was, the number his friend gave him for Alisa was her son’s cell phone number!! Embarrassing! Fortunately, Alisa’a son passed along the voice message to his mom!

I loved that the bride and groom asked everyone in attendance to wear white! It looked amazing and everyone had their own stylish spin on the theme! Who says no one but the bride can wear white?! Make up your own rules on your wedding day!
