Dream Wedding on the Beach
4:00 AM
A wedding on the beach is Elegant and so Romantic. It's magical!
The sound of waves crashing, the ocean air, and miles of sand... We've seen these weddings in movies... (the perfect ending in 27 Dresses!!!) The bride's hair and flowing dress blows in the wind... the arch decorated in flowers also fluttering in the breeze... the guests sitting under the sun, sweating in their Sunday's best... Their shoes and socks falling victim to the sand... How do you walk on sand in high heels anyway?
Is this your idea of a dream wedding? Yes! The camera only captures the best moments. After all, the photos are what matter most, right? Thankfully the unfavorable aspects of a beach wedding are promptly forgotten after a visit to the open bar.
Maybe that's where I'll have my wedding! Of course, I need a man to propose to me first... Justin, my boyfriend, needs to get it together and "just do it" like Nike! (That was a 90's joke!)
I had a "bright" ~ sun and water theme in mind for the Galen bridal hat but once we got down to the beach, we were received with this dramatic somber sky instead which made the photos so dynamic!
... a little about the International Tower ...
For my love of Long Beach: Behind me is the International Tower Condo Building. Do you see that cylinder shaped building? I never thought much about this circular structure until today! Upon doing some research I learned that it was originally built in 1965. It is so unique in that the buildings structure isn't on the outside, like most buildings. The International Tower has its structural system at the core. This spine-like structure is what creates the illusion of each floor being suspended midair.
Are you familiar with the early 1960’s Hanna Barbera television cartoon series, “The Jetson’s”? Many refer to this building as “the George Jetson building” because it resembles the home of the Jetsons. Yeah, I see the resemblance.
"The architectural style reflected what it meant to be an American during that period, totally optimistic with a new energy and the sky was the limit." -Official Website of the International Tower
