Andrea and Landon’s La Playa Carmel wedding was the perfect blend of coastal charm and refined elegance. Dropped in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea, the historic La Playa Hotel offered a stunning backdrop where ocean views, lush gardens, and mid-century architecture came together for a truly incredible day.
They both envisioned an intimate celebration that embraced the natural beauty of Carmel and made a fun weekend getaway for their guests.
The garden ceremony was pure class. Surrounded by soft-hued florals and the gentle sound of nearby waves, Andi and Landon exchanged heartfelt vows in front of their closest family and friends. The serene, coastal setting made their La Playa Carmel wedding feel both intimate and iconic.
As the sun dipped toward the horizon, guests gathered on the terrace for an elegant outdoor reception. Tables draped in crisp linens were adorned with pastel florals and soft candlelight, creating a warm and sophisticated ambiance. Under twinkling string lights, Andi and Landon shared their first dance, the ocean breeze adding a natural grace to the moment.
The evening unfolded with a curated farm-to-table dinner, locally sourced wines, and heartfelt toasts, all framed by the timeless beauty that makes a Carmel wedding so special. The night ended with guests gathered around the fire pit, sharing stories and soaking in the magic of the coastal evening.
Andi and Landon’s La Playa Carmel wedding is as great as a downtown Carmel wedding gets. Elevated and classic to the core. So thankful for them letting me join.
Hearts hearts hearts.
And as always, these are just a handful of my favs, but feel free to dive into all the photos from their La Playa Carmel wedding.
