Redondo Beach is one of the most beautiful beach cities in California, which means it is also a perfect location for a wedding! Kristen and Mark chose to have their wedding reception at the Redondo Beach Historic Library, just minutes away from the very famous Redondo Beach Pier, a landmark hot spot for locals and tourists to dine, shop, and take in breathtaking panoramic ocean views. The couple exchanged vows in front of their beloved family and friends at the Riviera United Methodist Church, just minutes away from the reception site.
When it came to customizing their wedding, K+M knew exactly how to do it! Beginning with the wedding dress which was a couture design from Anne Namba, the gown embraced their Japanese heritage and the Bride's sash was made out of a beautifully ornate "obi" material. The bouquets and boutonnieres also had beautiful little details like a festive mizuhiki cord. For the Reception, the couple went traditional with their "ikebana-style" floral arrangements, but incorporated a modern & fun twist that included horsetail bamboos, mokara orchids, and other Japanese/Hawaiian motifs (like a raked rock garden) that made for a quaint miniature Japanese Garden feel. Who else can pull off such beautiful and unique arrangements than one of our fave florists, BeBuds!
In addition to the warm ambiance of the room, K+M made sure their guests had plenty of activities to keep them occupied. They rented a foosball and air hockey table as well as a Ms. Pacman arcade game for their guests to enjoy. Guests also had the fun of capturing the evening in the photo booth, and as if that wasn’t enough, the dance floor was also packed all night!
When it came to really putting their personal touches into an event, K+M sure had the details down. The couple even swayed into their first dance as husband and wife to a recording of Kristen singing John Legend’s “Stay With You”! The down to earth & fun-loving couple definitely put their personalities into their wedding day, and we are so glad we were there to be a part of it!
