Our gothic and vintage themed beach wedding

For our beach wedding I wanted a gothic and vintage themes. We went to Carmel River Beach for ceremony and some photos and headed over to Monastery beach for more photos and playing in the sand with some of our best friends. My husband wore a gothic vampire coat with vine detail. My bridesmaids, groom and I wore converse sneakers. I chose that because it is part of my personality we love to hike and skateboard and I'm a tomboy so it was special to us and the girls loved it! I brought a lovely gothic parasol for some of the time to hide me from any sun since I have a dangerous sun allergy. It was a bit overcast so it was not too sunny but still better to be safe. My gothic two dragon intertwined with topaz ring was made by Marty Magic. I wore a beautiful vintage dress I got at Wild at Heart Vintage on etsy. The gothic bouquets I designed with Susan Groves. She is such an amazing florist! I chose black magic roses and black cala lilies. It was an incredible day, perfect weather and the day went better than I could have hoped for. It was something one would dream of. To be so lucky and blessed by the universe to have such amazing weather it was wonderful. Two amazing photographers and friends of mine: Agata and Naphy captured the beauty of this day. Thank you to all who came out and celebrated this magical time with us.
