Inspiration

The views aren’t the only stunning thing about this wedding… Chloe’s pearl wedding veil is honestly giving us life! This stunning elopement took place at the Big Sur Redwood Forest, and all we can say is wow. It is utterly breathtaking. Having to change their 150 person wedding due to COVID, Chloe & Tyler took matters into their own hands, eloping on Election Day in the US. Well, we certainly do not blame them. All we can feel from this glorious day is love, intimacy, and a whole bunch of Happily Ever After! We would also suggest Chloe wears that wedding dress every single day - jheez, flames!


Pearl wedding veil for Big Sur Redwood Forest elopement

Big Sur has its own energy. Something about the towering redwoods and the breeze off the ocean mixing with the sunlight hitting the mountains.

ADVICE

Try to take a few days’ vacation right before your wedding for just you and your partner. The extra days we took before our elopement allowed us to unwind and reflect on the commitment we were making to each other before time moves exponentially fast on your wedding day!

VIBE

We wanted to play into the landscape and the way it feels like you are going back in time when you drive along Highway 1. That translated into unfussy, classic clothes and vintage jewelry — with some fun shoes.

ELOPEMENT

We decided to elope on Election Day in the U.S. and people thought we were crazy! Yet, it was so wonderful to stay off the news all day and focus on our ceremony. It was a perfect reminder that despite the craziness that may exist in the world, we always have each other.

Can we appreciate Chloe’s gold boots & Tyler’s relaxed open shirt? We love the chilled out styling!

Kendal and Anthony took us to a spot along the cliffs for sunset photographs and it was perfectly California. Golden sunlight, a warm breeze, and to top it off, a huge group of sea lions at the foot of the cliffs barking like they were celebrating with us.

Chloe & Tyler

We absolutely love Chloe’s pearl wedding veil! Sometimes, your veil can get a little lost in the moment of searching for your perfect gown, but it can make such a statement! Take a look at this appliqué veil for a garden party wedding. Or how about this incredible personalised veil!? Seriously, it’s the inspiration you need.
