Linlin and Tom met at a dermatologist waiting room. LinLin had recently moved to Newport from Tainjin China, Tom had relocated there about a year ago from New York. They fell in love almost immediately and decided to get married 5 months later. They are enjoying a married life and looking to start a family in near future.

Tom had attended a wedding at the Montage years ago, he hadn’t met LinLin yet at that time in his life but it had always been his dream to tie the knot there. Lin, being new to California, was unfamiliar with the area but placed her trust in Tom’s judgment and the photographs she had seen. Without having visited the venue in person, she made the decision to book it.

Montage Laguna Beach is known as a seaside luxury hotel, offering a seamless blend of comfort and elegance that perfectly aligned with their vision. Situated along the picturesque California coastline, Montage provided breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean captivate guests, while the vibrant and contemporary design, complemented by carefully curated details, creates an atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression.

As LinLin prepared for her wedding, she faced the challenge of choosing colors and designs. She was drawn to blush pink and soft dusty rose shades, which she wore during a meeting with the wedding planner, Details Details. Inspired by them, the couple decided to base their floral arrangements on these colors. The couple’s decision to go for a simple and elegant theme for their wedding was a timeless choice that will never go out of fashion.

The team at Details Details, with their extensive resumes and deep industry knowledge, brought expertise that proved invaluable throughout the planning process. From the initial stages of vendor selection to the meticulous coordination of timelines, Details Details worked diligently to ensure that no detail was overlooked. Thanks to their expertise, LinLin and Tom were able to focus on celebrating their love and creating sweet memories, knowing that their special day was in the hands of professionals.

Trying to find a dress within a few weeks was pretty exhausting. LinLin happened to find the dress when she stumbled upon the Casablanca Bridal store near her home. Thankfully, this store had a collection of sample dresses on display, ready to accommodate her needs. With a stroke of luck, she ended up purchasing not just one but two dresses.

When the bride returned to the store for a dress fitting, her eyes were drawn to a breathtaking dress on a mannequin. It was love at first sight. The dress seemed tailor-made for her petite frame, and without hesitation, she made the decision to buy it directly from the mannequin. This enchanting gown soon became her main dress.

Tom opted for a classic tuxedo, the sleek black jacket, tailored to perfection, accentuated his stature. To complete his dapper ensemble, he chose a stylish bow tie, carefully tied in a neat knot, bringing a refined charm to his overall look.

As the bride walked down the aisle, accompanied by her father, an obvious glow of happiness radiated from her.

The heartfelt ceremony was a touching and emotional event that resonated deeply with everyone present. The genuine expressions of love, happiness, and unity were evident on each person’s face, as smiles of pure joy illuminated the atmosphere.

LinLin and Tom made a wise decision by entrusting to document their wedding to the highly reputable photography duo, John & Joseph Photography. Based in Los Angeles, California, these talented brothers have built a solid reputation for providing exceptional services to discerning clients seeking the finest wedding photography. Over the years, John and Joseph have captured numerous heartfelt moments, earning them national and international recognition.

When it comes to the decor, simplicity is key for this event. The couple chose a neutral color palette, such as whites, dusty rose, or soft pastels, to create an elegant and cohesive look. The venue was adorned with delicate floral arrangements, using a combination of roses and ranunculuses, arranged in clean and understated designs. Candles were strategically placed to add a warm and romantic ambiance to the reception dinner.
