A simple and elegant, new England Style Clam Bake wedding on the California coastline. The celebration began with croquet and baci ball on the Botanical Garden Lawn with a signature Cape Cod cocktail passed to the guests. Adjacent to the white shutters displaying the vintage luggage tags, the galvanized tin pails encouraged the guests to slip off their shoes and grab a pair of sandals, and begin the festivities. The tables were set “beach chic” with candlelight, driftwood, white orchids, succulents and sea glass. The dinner was a classic steaming Clam Bake that displayed a show-stopping feast. As the guest dined “al fresco” they could retreat to more formal tables or relax in the “Happy Clam Lounge”. The guests danced late into the evening with the most intoxicating live band that kept the dance floor full late into the night.
