Connor & Jodi in the Nathalia Gown

Jodi and Connor tied the knot in San Clemente, California. Given the couple’s love for the beach, hosting a coastal celebration was the ideal choice. When they discovered the Ole Hanson beach club in San Clemente, they knew they had found their dream venue. From the panoramic ocean views to the coastal landmarks and traditional arches, the venue offered nothing less than the perfect California beach experience.

The ceremony was held on the grand lawn, featuring 180-degree ocean views and adorned with mature palm trees and lush green tones. The reception took place on the rooftop, an open-air private terrace overlooking the lawn and the Pacific Ocean — breathtaking! The architecture of the coastal Landmark was reminiscent of Spanish revival charm – Spanish tiles on the ground, hand-painted tiles, traditional arches and ornate stained-glass windows.

Jodi had a vision for her dream gown – she wanted to be free-spirited, effortless, and authentic. We asked Jodi how she envisioned herself as a bride. A bride who embraces her own style,'. She visited three of our Grace Loves Lace locations before falling in love with the Nathalia gown in our Venice boutique. "Each experience made me feel so special, confident, and sexy!"

When Jodi tried on Nathalia, she instantly knew. "It was the only dress I cried in when I tried it on." To top it off, the aesthetic of the venue was perfectly suited for Jodi’s dress style. From the lace panels to the ornate freshwater pearl handpiece, Nathalia creates the illusion of structure and perfectly complements the Spanish architecture. Looking at the wedding photos, Jodi’s bridal attire is contemporary yet a work of art.

A definite highlight of the wedding was the ceremony, which unfolded on the grand lawn. Nestled along the coastal route, the atmosphere was everything Jodi had hoped for and more. As the ceremony took place, a passenger train known as 'the Coaster' passed by. The officiant, known for his sense of humor, playfully encouraged all the guests to wave at the train as it went by. Laughter filled the air as everyone enthusiastically joined in. The smiles and the laughter brought a true sparkle to their wedding day.
