Happy New Year! I hope everyone had very happy holidays, and if you are newly engaged then let me say: Congratulations and welcome to Snippet & Ink! We’re kicking off 2014 with a gorgeous beachside wedding from Yvette Roman…

Bridesmaids wore knee-length gray chiffon dresses in a variety of styles.

Says Tia: “We picked the location because it’s a beautiful, natural setting in Los Angeles, where I grew up. Aaron and I are both native Californians and we thought the beach would be a great venue to welcome our friends and family traveling from afar. We wanted a small, intimate ceremony, followed by a fun and joyful party! We used the natural setting as inspiration and sought a shabby chic feel for decor with a splash of glam.”

Shades of pink, peach, rose, and gold were the perfect decor for the glamorous October wedding.

The couple’s favorite part of the day? “We loved our ceremony and the gorgeous sunset that accompanied it. The sky was on fire that night! We really enjoyed taking photos just the two of us on the beach at sunset.”
