Oceanside Wedding at Botanica

Summer & Taylors wedding at Botanica in Oceanside was the dreamiest San Diego winter day! Their day was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern romance. Set against the lush coastal greenery back drop at this luxury Oceanside wedding venue, these two designed a sophisticated black and white tie celebration filled with crisp white winter florals, soft candlelight, and elevated monochromatic details. When we weren’t drying our eyes from their tear jerking vows, we were filled with belly laughs and I think that's the perfect explanation of these two... soft and gentle, yet filled with so much life and joy.

There’s so much I want to say about the truly incredible humans these two are and I would be here forever, so let me just say I have never met such warm & incredible humans! These two fill any room with such sunshine and it was an honor to get to know them and all of their favorite humans! Truly a day I will never forget!

Now is a good time to mention these two are so hot they’ve been featured in the newest addition in @californiaweddingday & the 2026 style guide for @friartux!!

If you're planning on getting married in San Diego in February like these two, here are a couple of tips:

Weather in the Oceanside area in February could be sunny or it could be cold or rainy.

Be sure you ask your venue about a rain contingency plan if your chosen venue is completely outdoors. If its going to be on the colder side, invest in getting heat lamps and some bulk blankets from places like Ikea. If there's a chance of rain, its never too safe to get some umbrellas. Amazon or other places have bulk clear umbrellas! I love keeping a handful of clear umbrellas in my car because they're still aesthetic and they come in handy in the event of rain!
