Mandy and Justin’s ceremony was held right on the sand in Coronado. As guests arrived they kicked off their shoes and made their way to the site in the warm sand. It’s almost always a sure thing that a jet will fly over outdoor ceremonies in Coronado and this beautiful day was no exception.

After the outdoor ceremony, guests traveled to The Abbey on 5th in downtown San Diego. The Abbey is already a beautiful venue with its dark wood and stained glass windows, but it is amazing what gorgeous fabrics can add! Mandy did all of the event design herself including the invitations, ceremony programs, escort card bulletin board and even drapped the lovely fabrics behind the sweetheart table. With complete design control, Mandy was able to incorporate her color palette of blues, greens and browns in every detail, which truly tied the entire event together.
