Shaleen and Rob’s seaside wedding was all about sweetness. From their lovely first look moments caught on camera, to the sweet message a flowergirl carried to an expansive candy bar and cupcake spread, this wedding was pink, white and sweet all over! (Also, how awesome are Shaleen’s custom Converse?)
Shaleen + Rob | June 2, 2013 | La Jolla, California | Dress Listing: Pronovias, Benicarlo
The Ceremony
My ceremony was held outside on the lawn with the sea as the backdrop. It was gorgeous! White chairs lined the aisle which had a custom made runner with our initials on it. Stainless steel buckets filled with baby’s breath lined the runner.
The Reception
My reception was held inside and outside. We had the tables set outside with little lights strung everywhere. The dancing was inside. We had an amazing DJ, a big candy bar and a huge cupcake table. It was everything I could have hoped for and more!
Shaleen’s Dress Search
I started my dress search with a completely different style in mind. I thought I wanted a mermaid style. I started trying different dress styles. Nothing seemed right. Then it seemed dropwaist was the style I favored more, but I wanted something light on the bottom.
When I first saw this dress I had a feeling that it was the one. However I continued to try other dresses. A week later I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I went back and bought it! So glad I did!

Special, beautiful, The One
Why Shaleen Decided to Sell Her Wedding Dress
I always knew I would sell my dress. It seems like such a waste for such a beautiful dress to just sit in the closet. I want someone else to experience wearing the perfect dress also.
