Real Wedding Feature: Sterling Hotel, CA

Kellen and Pilar's classic, vintage wedding is one we can't forget. The love these two share for each other absolutely radiates out of these photos! We can feel it in the way they look at each other and the emotion that's expressed throughout their day. Pilar's wedding dress and the 1950's classic car tied in perfectly with the "vintage boutique" vibe that Sterling Hotel embodies. All the tiny vintage elements came together to create a timeless and romantic affair that was every bit as lovely as the couple. Congratulations Kellen and Pillar!

"My husband and I incorporated all of our grandparents in our outfits. Kellen wore his grandpa's Air Force wings, while I wore my grandmother's necklace and my great grandmother's ring. Lastly, we had bouquets that were made from fake flowers that can be forever displayed in our home, as a reminder of the best day of our lives." 

"The most anticipated moment of our day was the first look, as it was the culmination of everything we had been waiting for. It was also our favorite moment as it was solely ours. It was private, emotional and special. It was our moment and we got to enjoy the calm and comfort of just being together before all the festivities began." 

"We identify as old souls, and we tend to be very simple and classic in style and taste. We wanted a wedding that captured us and our story together. The venue was breathtakingly gorgeous and exactly our style. I knew instantly that it was the venue, and we feel in love with it. Our goal in decor was to highlight and accent the beauty of the location and bring attention to the finer details."

"Wedgewood Weddings was the best decision we made in the wedding process. The staff was very attentive, supportive, and responsive throughout the whole process of planning the big day. I can honestly say that the experience was very minimal-stress and Wedgewood Weddings made everything extremely easy. My husband and I would not change a single detail and we loved every minute of our day."

"My advice to other couples would be to trust the planners and Wedgewood Weddings team as they know what they are talking about and will be your best allies through this process. Make the day personal and exactly what you want and try not to stress the small things, as everything will come together! Use their vendors if you do not have someone in mind. Everyone is very professional and easy to work with and they need no guidance due to their familiarity with the venue. You do not have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding except having the best day of your life!!"

"Our entire family was blown away by our wedding and, not exaggerating, but every single guest has reached out to me saying it was “the best wedding they have ever been to” and that “they do not remember the last time they had that much fun”. My vision was brought to life, and I am so thankful to have found this venue and to have had this experience."
