Forget the heels and intricate up-dos. A wedding by the water means letting your hair down and embracing the salt-spray on your big day. And in Southern California, the venues are countless to for couples with sun-kissed tastes.
Consider this our baker’s dozen of beach and water-front locales for the beach bum lovers. And fear not, it doesn’t mean each and every one requires your guests to wear flip flops.
From the tip top of Tom Ham’s Lighthouse, with a glimpse above the San Diego Bay; to Lakehouse Hotel and Resort overlooking Lake San Marcos; and even Bali Hai with panoramic views of Shelter Island, there’s no escaping the waterfront views.
