A Tropical San Diego Wedding By the Ocean

Share

Happy couple hugging at wedding with a tropical bouquet in focus

After moving from the East coast to the West, Brianna and Tyler were excited to show off their new hometown to all of their East coast guests. They threw a gorgeous oceanside wedding at The Ocean View Room in San Diego with tropical infused florals, neutral hues, and natural wood accents.

The bride looked California chic in her dreamy Grace Loves Lace gown, while her bridesmaid wore mismatched dress styles in a sandy neutral shade. The gorgeous florals by Wyld Blooms came to life with Bird of Paradise and tropical greenery, which was the perfect combo for this quintessential SoCal wedding. Kami Olavarria Photography caught all the love in action, so enjoy it below and in the full gallery.

showing off San Diego

From Kami Olavarria Photography: The couple is from the east coast but moved out to San Diego a few years go – so literally every guest was there from out of town. It was really important for Brianna + Tyler to show off their new home and show everyone how amazing San Diego is! From their airbnb at mission beach where all their friends stayed the week of the wedding, to the hardcore tropical florals, they really showed off their new city they love so much.
