Edgy Neutral Boho Wedding at The Casino San Clemente

Victoria and Anthony met outside of the Casino San Clemente for their first look. A tap on the shoulder turned Anthony around to see his beautiful bride standing before him as smiles filled both their faces. The couple read handwritten vows and posed for a few photos before heading to the Patio of the Stars for ceremony.

Terracotta, black, white, and tan details and specialty furnishings filled the space where the ceremony was soon to take place. Guests arrived and found a seat at a table or one of the stylish lounges facing the fireplace. As soon as everyone was in attendance, the bride and groom made their entrances and took their spots at the head of the aisle. In front of all their best friends and loving family, Victoria and Anthony recited vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

The Patio of the Stars seamlessly transformed from ceremony to cocktail hour. Servers tray passed Chicken Jalapeno Empanadas, Crab Cakes, and Shrimp Ceviche while the bar served beer and wine. While guests mixed and mingled, the newlyweds headed to the coastline for romantics. Upon their return, it was time to head inside for reception.

Disco balls and boho chandeliers hung above the floral-filled sweetheart table. Black charger plates and champagne coupes were paired with brass flatware and seagrass glassware, and to complete each guest table, a floral centerpiece filled with ivory, dusty pink, mustard, and toffee-colored dried and fresh flowers was placed at each center. Victoria and Anthony made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat. Tequila Lime Chicken, Slow Roasted Carnitas, Ranch Style Pinto Beans, Spanish Rice, and Ensalada Las Mesas was served while toasts were shared. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. After dinner, the newlyweds cut into their vintage wedding cake and invited their guests to indulge in a little sweet treat. The evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best moves.
