1940s Inspired Relaxed California Wedding
1940s Inspired Relaxed California Wedding
via
With a loosely based 1940′s theme, fantastic food, stunning flowers and one dozy of a dress, Zach and Leila had their perfect relaxed California wedding. All held at the infamous San Diego wedding venue, Darlington House. A place that still echoes a lifestyle of gracious living, elegant dinner parties, and delightful musical concerts.
It is quite difficult not to have an impossibly lovely wedding here. You can see even more of their wedding in the full gallery here, all beautifully photographed by This Modern Romance.
One of the 1904′s components were Leila's hair and makeup. Pins gently placed in her up-do and crimson red lipstick. Both done by 10.11 Makeup and Hair! This vintage-glam look paired perfectly with her Elizabeth Fillmore dress. We cannot forget to mention the lace Claire Pettibone lace back that added that extra bit of glitz to her already glam look. Do you love?
From the Bride...
We got married at the Darlington House on May 25, 2013. We were really inspired by the Darlington House, which has a very elegant 1930′s/40′s look to it. We fell in love with its timeless beauty and its intimate atmosphere. We had a loose 1940′s theme, which included my dress, the flower arrangements and the signature drinks.
From The Bride:
Zach and I decided to mix our two cultures to come up with a ceremony that represented us as a couple. I'm Persian, so we had a Sofreh Aghd, which is a table with decorative and symbolic items on it that represent the couple's new life together. We also incorporated American traditions, including having a wedding party and reciting vows. We were married by one of our dear friends, and the ceremony was very heartfelt and sweet.
