Dreamy summer wedding at The Ranch at Laguna Beach

WEDDING RECAPS
Written By Emily Wright

Between the oceanside and the canyons of Laguna Beach, The Ranch at Laguna Beach is one of our favorite stunning wedding venues in Southern California. With outdoor and indoor venue options in addition to on-site resort rooms, this location is a dream destination for a summer wedding.

Our bride's wedding dress was completely enchanting!! The gown featured a strapless V-neckline and flowy, ethereal fabric cascaded down into a mesmerizing train, creating an air of whimsy and romance as she gracefully walked.

Jen, from our team, created a classic, timeless hairstyle for our bride: old Hollywood waves. These glamorous, bouncy waves perfectly framed her face, enhancing her natural beauty while adding a nod of vintage. For her makeup, Erin, from our team, created a look that would harmonize with both her hairstyle and the enchanting setting of The Ranch at Laguna Beach. She struck the perfect balance by creating a look that combined natural and effortless beauty with the pop of old Hollywood glam.
