Real {Destination} Wedding ~ Brittney and Jordan

Today's destination wedding is from all the way across the country in San Diego, CA, where Brittney and Jordan's sophisticated affair at The Grand Del Mar was photographed by Anika London. The event was designed in a palette of black, white and varied shades of violet, ranging from pale lavender to dark magenta. Brittney wore a lovely strapless gown by Vera Wang with layers of sheer netting and a silver metallic and black grosgrain belt. She wore metallic sequined ballet flats by Jimmy Choo and carried a bouquet of white gardenia and peonies. Her bridesmaids wore black strapless cocktail dresses and carried vibrant bouquets of mixed purple blooms with leafy green collars and bold taffeta wrapping, while Jordan and his groomsmen wore classic black tuxedos with black bowties and boutonnieres made from a single gardenia.

White petals and clear glass columns set with white pillar candles lined the ceremony aisle, giving the church a soft candlelight glow. We love the pretty ceremony programs printed on white paper with a black damask motif and tied together with black satin ribbon. The tables were dressed in crisp white linens and gold chargers for the reception at The Grand Del Mar. Gold chivari chairs and groupings of flickering votives added a warm accent to the low centerpiece arrangements made in a variety of purple blooms. Don't miss the candy bar, featuring apothecary jars filled with delicious treats and the couple's exquisite four-tier wedding cake with ornate floral piping.
