Romantic Bridal Inspiration on the California Coast

There’s no time like the present to dream of the rocky coast, and thanks to this bridal inspiration from Michael Radford Photography and Tinge, that’s exactly how we’ll be spending our day. Michael captured both bridal and boudoir looks designed by Emily Riggs Bridal, and if you’re anything like us you’ll be absolutely floored by how beautiful the pieces are!

From the floral designer, Ashley of Tinge: Being from Salt Lake City, Utah, I am used to the gorgeous mountains and meadows which are so inspiring. I feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful place! But since California brings such a change in scenery we decided shooting at this gorgeous spot in Laguna was the perfect setting. The mossy rocks and cliffs are rugged, which contrasts so beautifully with the soft, beautiful draping of Emily’s gorgeous Ophelia gown.

I took inspiration of what lives beneath the sea for the florals. I incorporated different colors but kept them all fairly muted, with the exception of a few peach and sea foam tones. I loved the way the soft colors complemented Emily’s gorgeous gown.
