Chantelle + Coulter are high school sweethearts (aw!) who survived the ultimate test: growing up! And thank goodness because these two lovebirds are clearly meant to be. (Psst: did you see their dreamy engagement session earlier today? SO good!) They wed surrounded by friends, family, and age-old trees on the Santa Lucia Preserve—the first venue they looked at! We’re all a bit captivated by Chantelle’s dress…we can only imagine what Coulter was thinking when she walked down the aisle! With help from Ryder Sloan Events, C + C created their dream day, filled with plenty of personal touches:
We wanted it to feel more like a fun party than a formal wedding. Our pet pig was our ring “boarer” and our dog walked down the aisle, as well. We said our own vows right after I walked down the aisle to a string quartet. They played the song that Coulter lip synced to me in high school in the Safeway parking lot, in front of the headlights of my car. We served breakfast for dinner, family style on mismatched plates. We also hung a swing and set up lots of couches to create the casual feel we were going for.
Ty French captured every darling detail from the day—let’s have a look!

Such a romantic invitation suite from Aerialist Press!

MAJOR yes to these shoes from Chinese Laundry.


Like a modern day Cinderella!
The Dress
Sparkles? Check. Lace? Check. Something blue? Check! This Galia Lahav ball gown was the first one she tried on—can you believe it?
The ladies set a mellow tone with mismatched dresses from BHLDN.

The Ceremony
Christine Cater completely outdid herself with the florals! Whimsical blooms popped up all over the place for the most romantic setting!
The bridal party sat on couches during the ceremony—love this!
YAY!
Such a fairy tale!!
Chantelle’s upgraded beach waves were by Hair by Chrissy, while Moni Sebestyen highlighted Chantelle’s natural glow with nude and pink tones.

The Reception
In memory of Coulter’s recently passed grandmother, C + C asked their calligrapher to paint one of her poems which they hung at the reception. (Chantelle also wore her earrings! So sweet!)
Found Rentals provided the dreamiest pieces for guests to grab a seat!
WHOA. How incredible is this?!
LOVE this tabletop setting! The plates are from Frances Lane, the gorgeous velvet linens from La Tavola Fine Linen, and the cherry on top? Cookie place cards by Grace&Gusto!
More magical florals…total heart eyes.
Don’t you just love these two??
The most FUN reception idea ever: a silent disco from HUSH Concerts!
Yeah, girl! Such a fun and totally dream-worthy wedding for these two love birds who, PS, now have a baby on the way!! Major congrats to Chantelle + Coulter!
