Wedding Ideas That’ll Give You Those Summer Vibes

Share

Refreshing Pompelmojito cocktail with rosemary garnish on golden tray

Summer is calling our name and it seems E Events Co. must be hearing the same thing. This fabulous wedding inspiration not only warms our hearts but it might also be thawing out the late winter frost outside, with its summer vibes. Elegant olive and eucalyptus garlands accented by bright yellow lemons and a beachfront reception at the  Dream Inn will have you reaching for your beach towel and bikini. 

So find a warm and comfy spot on the sand, stretch out and enjoy this beautiful wedding inspiration photographed by the talented  Julie Cahill Photography and sponsored by E Events Co. You can see more from the day in the full gallery as well.

Bright and Sunny Day

Bringing a little Italian style to the recently remodeled Dream Inn hotel in Santa Cruz, Eileen from E Event Co. blended classics like lemons and lace in with a modern color palette of blues, grays, and whites for this coastal affair. Soft chiffon graced an iconic Monterey pine tree for their ceremony site down the road at Lighthouse field with accents of lemons and olive branches on the chairs. 

For cocktail hour, we featured an olive bar with different specialty oils and aged balsamic for dipping along with olives and bites. A modern lace accented the taller tables in the ocean front room for their reception portion. Homemade limoncello topped off the night for the guest before the couple changed threads for a quick getaway!
