Today we have a wedding full of bohemain goodness as Veronica and Dustin, this truly free-spirited couple, share with us their gorgeous dream like California wedding. Veronica and Dustin were married on 8th August 2018 at Moonstone Beach in Trinidad, California with the reception at Alegria in Trinidad, California. ‘It’s our favourite beach and it’s very close to our house, we had 100 guests and it took about a month to plan’ The wedding starts with a relaxed beach ceremony, after which the couple ride bare back across the sand, like something from a film. The rest of the day is filled with fun, laughter, dancing and so many gorgeous memories. This totally chilled out couple have created a whimsical wedding day all in a month! Thanks to Gumgirl for the images.

Special moments
1# marrying the man of my dreams 2# having all our lovely family and friends there to share such a beautiful day with us. 3#sitting around a mountain of flowers making flowers crowns with my beautiful sisters. 4# after the ceremony, galloping our horses across the beach and into the ocean. 5# riding our horses hand in hand to the reception at Algeria ranch. 6# our first dance together! It was so romantic and magical #7 jumping in the bouncy house, in our bridal duds at 1AM, when all the guest were gone
