A summer wedding at The Lodge at Torrey Pines is perfect for timeless architecture, coastal scenery, and vibrant color. Gabi and William’s celebration embraced a joyful palette of bright colors and thoughtful details that popped against the Craftsman-style backdrop. Gabi wore a romantic gown with delicate lace and pearl details, and William complemented her in a tailored blue suit. Their ceremony took place on the Arroyo Terrace, surrounded by the beauty that makes weddings at The Lodge at Torrey Pines so special.

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the Arroyo Terrace. The Maurice Braun Ballroom hosted an elegant candlelit reception. Draping the ballroom created a beautiful contrast to the bright wedding colors, bringing warmth and personality to the celebration.
