Getting Ready Before the Half Moon Bay Wedding At Oceano Hotel

Getting ready for the wedding is always such a special part of every couples wedding day. Steven and Dana chose classic wedding styles. Dana looked so radiant before the ceremony with the help of the talented artists at Charismatic Bride and of course that natural bridal glow! We loved Steven’s rose and ranunculus boutonniere made by Driftwood and Roses.

A Love Poem For The Happy Couple:

“I love you for what you are, but I love you yet more for what you are going to be.
I love you not so much for your realities as for your ideals, I pray for your desires that they may be great, rather than for your satisfactions, which may be so hazardously little.
A satisfied flower is one whose petals are about to fall. The most beautiful rose is one hardly more than a bud wherein the pangs and ecstasies of desire are working for a larger and finer growth. Not always shall you be what you are now. You are going forward toward something great. I am on the way with you and therefore I love you.”
