The Bay Area is home to many beautiful beaches and breathtaking scenery. Known for its diversity, richness in culture, and simplistic beauty, there is no better place to say your forever “I Do” than the San Francisco Bay Area. Join me in this blog post as I break down some of the best Bay Area Wedding Venues the Bay Area has to offer.
1.Coastal beach: Cavallo Point- Sausalito
Want to hear the calming waves crashing as you say your “I Do”. Filled with Historic architecture and just the right amount of luxury, Cavallo Point, once a military base, offers stunning views of the infamous Golden Gate Bridge. You can choose an outside lawn wedding with a breathtaking backdrop or a more intimate ceremony in one of their ballrooms. If you are looking for a venue that offers History, modern and beauty all in one Cavallo point will not disappoint.
What to wear: When you attend a coastal wedding you want to keep the elements in mind. I would go for light breathable fabrics such as linen, silk and cotton blends and would stay away from heavy fabrics. Keeping the colors light. Casual, Semi-formal or beach formal always go with light fabrics. You can add a shawl for the cooler evenings and keep the jewelry minimal. Wedges or block heels would be the best option for a coastal wedding as stilettos can make it hard to walk on grass and sandy uneven surfaces. Men can go for a dark suit, or dress trousers in neutral colors paired up with a light blazer or sports coat. A pair of loafers will complete the look.
2.Rustic Vineyard: Murrieta’s Well- Livermore Ca.
If you are planning your wedding around a rustic vineyard theme mixed with modern day touches Murrieta’s Well located in Livermore California is a great option. The state is well known to and has held many indoor and outdoor ceremonies and receptions. For an indoor event The Barrel room is perfect. Offering stone walls, wine barrels and wooden beams can you get any more rustic than that? The vineyard Terrace is exactly what you want if you are looking for that natural vineyard beauty and historical charm. Murrieta’s Well venue also extends various wedding packages all which include a wedding planner and can fit a range of different budgets.
What to wear: When trying to find the perfect outfit for a rustic vineyard wedding you want to stick to light fabrics. Think rustic mixed with boho and a dash of elegance. For women I suggest sticking to earthy tones. Flowy dresses and jumpsuits made from cotton blends and satin are a great choice. A light jacket, either denim or suede can add the perfect touch to finish off your look. Opt for gold tone jewelry. Keep in mind that you will likely be walking outdoors so wedges, flats or block heels are best. For men Olive, tan, or navy (think neutral) slacks paired with a solid color button up shirt. Say no sneakers and go for some loafers or simple dress shoes (leather or suede is a great option). Grab your favorite pair of glasses and a sports coat and you are all set.
3.Budget friendly (intimate wedding): San Francisco Presidio Chapel
Just because you have a budget for your dream wedding does not mean that you have to sacrifice elegance or beauty on your special day. The presidio chapel gives you beautiful scenery and screams out romantic with historic charm. It’s truly a hidden gem close to the Golden Gate Bridge that proves you don’t have to break your pockets to have the perfect romantic and affordable wedding of your dreams. The chapel greets you with high ceilings, wrought Iron chandeliers and beautiful stained windows that will have your guests thinking that it was a high ticket venue. The Presidio chapel offers an outside garden venue surrounded by green trees and lined with flowers perfect for a small intimate wedding while providing beautiful views.
What to wear: Because this venue is full of beautiful historic scenery I would go with something that says timeless and elegance. A cocktail dress or midi dress paired with some heels and a dressy trench coat or light blazer (remember San Francisco weather can be unpredictable). Add your favorite statement earrings and your sunglasses and enjoy the celebration. Men can wear a traditional dark color suit for a formal wedding and for something more on the semi-formal side a neutral color suit paired up with some leather dress shoes or loafers. Don’t have a suit? No problem pot for a pair of your favorite dress pants, a button down shirt and a blazer.
