Modern Garden-Inspired Wedding at Santa Ana Country Club

July 1, 2025

Some weddings feel like a perfect reflection of the couple from the very start—and this one was no exception! Molly and Wilkins’s wedding was the perfect blend of effortless romance and thoughtful elegance, creating a day that felt deeply personal and beautifully refined. The bride was drawn to delicate pastels and wanted a soft, feminine palette that felt natural and timeless. The bridesmaids’ mismatched dresses in shades of blush, rose, lilac, and peach – each with its own texture and print—created a layered look that was cohesive, fresh, and beautifully romantic when paired with simple white sweet pea bouquets. And can we talk about how STUNNING our bride, Molly, is?! That dress was made for her and her makeup looked absolutely flawless, thanks to the oh-so sweet and talented, Emma Willis Makeup & Hair!

The celebration began with a traditional church ceremony at Our Lady Queen of Angels. Before walking down the aisle, the couple shared a private “first touch” moment where they exchanged their vows — we absolutely love this tradition! Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Molly and Wilkins said ‘I Do’ and officially began their forever together!

For the cocktail reception, guests made their way to Santa Ana Country Club where they were welcomed with refreshing drinks and delicious hors d’oeuvres Dinner and dancing took place in the most stunning tidewater tented reception filled with candlelight, string lights, pendant lanterns, and ALL the pretty details. The design was intentionally neutral and refined – ivory linens, lounge-style seating, and classic place settings that let the florals take center stage. Everything was crafted to feel warm and inviting, and once the dance floor opened, it stayed packed all night. These guests danced the night away and LITERALLY tore up the dance floor!! It was such a joy to bring Molly and Wilkins’s vision to life – keep scrolling to see all the details and special moments captured by Victoria Gold!
