When historic charm meets a “Royal Lush” color palette, the result is pure magic. Alyssa and Marc’s wedding at Serra Plaza was a vibrant celebration defined by deep purples, shimmering golds, and timeless San Juan Capistrano romance.
Portraits at the Mission
We began the day at the iconic Mission San Juan Capistrano. Known as the “Jewel of the Missions,” its weathered stone arches and blooming bougainvillea provided a cinematic backdrop for the couple’s portraits. Alyssa’s gown glowed against the rustic textures, creating a sophisticated “Old World” feel before the festivities even began.
Lush Design at Serra Plaza
The celebration then moved to Serra Plaza, a stunning open-air courtyard in the heart of the Los Rios District. Alyssa and Marc leaned into a bold, luxury aesthetic to transform the space:
- The Palette: Regal plum and lavender florals paired with shimmering gold accents.
- The Venue: Spanish-style architecture centered around a grand stone fountain.
- The Vibe: An intimate, alfresco dinner party under a canopy of market lights.
An Evening to Remember
As the sun set, the gold-rimmed tablescapes caught the light, and the plaza transformed into a private Mediterranean estate. This Serra Plaza San Juan Capistrano wedding perfectly balanced the grandeur of a luxury event with the warmth of an outdoor summer night.
