Alexa + Stuart | Mission San Juan Capistrano Wedding
I first met Alexa and Stuart at a Bridal Bazaar event in San Diego, and it was an instant connection. Alexa is such a sweetheart and I couldn’t wait to work with them, taking their vision and bringing their dream stationery to life for their Inn at the Mission San Juan Capistrano wedding!
From the start, Alexa and Stuart infused their day with meaningful personal details. Their wedding date, July 21st, also honored the birthday of the Bride’s beloved Grandmother, who celebrated from heaven.
Music played a huge role in their relationship, so it had to be a big part of their wedding! We incorporated a guitar—Stu’s favorite—into their wax seal design. Live musicians also performed during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Since both Alexa and Stuart work in the restaurant and hospitality industry, their food choices were top-tier too!
Custom Stationery and Day-Of Details
Guests were invited to the celebration with a custom invitation suite featuring delicate watercolor succulents throughout the design, in a laser cut pocket enclosure, with an elegant script font, soft sage green and gold accents.

We carried these elements into their day-of details. One of my favorite pieces? The escort cards! We used a smaller version of their wax seal, featuring the custom guitar monogram. Different wax colors indicated each guest’s entrée selection. The tent-fold design displayed the guest’s name and wax seal on the front, with their table assignment inside.
Their signature drinks were another fun detail. I loved how they played off their names to make them extra personal!
Stunning Florals at Mission San Juan Capistrano Wedding
The Landmark Courtyard at the Inn at the Mission is already stunning. But Julep Bloom Design’s florals took the ceremony space to the next level! They perfectly captured Alexa’s soft, neutral palette with pops of peachy pink.
The ground arch and aisle arrangements were breathtaking. Just. Stunning. The added florals on the welcome sign also made it pop!
After the ceremony, guests moved to the Olive Grove for cocktail hour. Then, they joined the couple in the Los Olivos Room for dinner and dancing.
When we first spoke, Alexa and Stuart couldn’t wait to celebrate with family and friends from across the U.S. Most of all, they looked forward to dancing the night away. And that’s exactly what they did!
