Santa Monica Poolside Wedding : Amber & Mike

Amber & Mike spent a great deal of time together planning their wedding – especially the menu! Amber & Mike are professional chefs, so the menu and catering was planned and coordinated with great care and lot’s of influence! The day of the wedding, friends of theirs from many local restaurants helped with everything from the cooking to serving. Most of the produce, cheese and charcuterie was sourced from top local markets and the bread was provided by one of the groomsmen who owns a local panaderia. The menu was planned around sustainable and seasonal ingredients. To top it off, many months before the wedding, the bride planted seedlings in the hosts vegetable garden featuring many of the items the menu! This poolside backyard wedding is so charming and the food looks absolutely delicious! The gorgeous dogwood branch centerpiece that hung over the dessert table was made by the mother of the bride. Thank you to Katelin Wallace for capturing every detail of this beautiful wedding!
