Backless long sleeve boho gown | Long sleeve bridal gown by Rue De Seine | Estancia La Jolla Wedding Venue

This Estancia La Jolla wedding indeed was one to remember! Marissa and Micah are the sweetest couple! I was able to capture their Sangeet in Balboa Park (coming to the blog soon), and now their beautiful wedding! The Estancia La Jolla merges lush gardens with Spanish sophistication. Additionally, this award-winning venue in San Diego boasts sprawling gardens on 10 acres and hacienda-style architecture. No doubt why this was also the winner for Marissa and Micah’s fresh tropical and boho-inspired wedding. Let’s take a look at some of my favorite photos from their special day!

Estancia La Jolla Wedding | San Diego, CA

Marissa and Micah’s wedding ceremony paid homage to each side of their family’s heritage. It took place at the Garden Courtyard, which had the most luscious tropical greenery and garden spaces! The bright green grass sure did go well with Micah’s rich pine green suit, a lovely and unique color. On the other hand, Marissa wore a stunning long sleeve boho gown by renowned designer Rue De Seine, which made her look more angelic than she already was. Not to mention, Rue De Seine is one of the most highly sought after boho designers, and I highly recommend checking her out if you’re looking for a boho wedding gown!

Blending perfectly with the Estancia La Jolla venue, the overall color scheme of the wedding was white and green. Therefore, the ceremony decor was all-white tropical florals paired with lush greenery by the talented team at TBDesigned. Along with the theme, the beautiful bridesmaids also wore emerald green velvet dresses while the groomsmen wore gray suits.

The wedding reception was held within the grand ballroom, bringing the beauty of the tropical florals inside. Once again, I’d love to give a shout out to the amazing teams at TBDesigned and Creative Affairs for making the space even more beautiful, and their disco ball installation was so fun! The disco balls indeed gave a lustrous glow to Marissa and Micah’s fabulous choreographed dance, and all throughout the evening!
