Ever dream of a romantic rendezvous wedding? You know, just you...and him...and a dozen or so of your nearest and dearest, all gathered together at an intimate venue you'll remember for the rest of your life? Today's styled shoot by Mehta Weddings brings all those dreams to life. It all took place on the California coast, at The Inn at Laguna Beach (voted one of the most romantic venues in Orange County). And really, we couldn't imagine anything more dreamy..."When thinking about the boudoir look, we wanted to channel a classic romantic vibe with a hint of decadence. For starters, we used amethyst-colored lingerie instead of the traditional white bridal look. Adding in the classics of french perfume, champagne, and pearls, we created some depth with a gorgeous cheese and fruit platter," said Mehta Weddings. The Inn holds their intimate ceremonies and receptions on their fourth floor balcony with a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean on one side, and that of glimmering city lights strewn across the hills on the other. The views from the Inn at Laguna Beach just lent themselves to gorgeous sunset portraits, some of our favorites from the day.

For couples who love the grandeur of romance with the intimacy of a smaller wedding, behold this Valentine’s Day style shoot captured by Mehta Weddings. From the bouquet to the stationery, find golds, rich purples, crimson reds and jewel-toned pinks. A unique variety of blooms include cymbidium orchids, ranunculus, calle lilies, safari sunset, kale, and Italian ruscus, while a colourful dish display contains savory cheeses, herbs, olives, chocolates, fruit, and honeycomb paired with champagne. For the outdoor sweetheart table, gold linens set a luxurious base for sweeping florals and hanging amaranths.
