Romantic, Neutral California Wedding [Michelle + Tim]

We love a classic black-and-white affair, but there’s something special about switching up the color palette. Michelle and Tim’s special day at Casa Real Events was light and airy with whites, dusty pinks, and champagne. Take a look at their romantic, neutral California wedding day!

Step inside Casa Real Events’ reception space. The crystal chandelier stands out, but we also love the custom gobo wash with the couple’s names on the dance floor. Plus, who can forget the sweetheart table surrounded by blooms?
