“A Love Written in Salt & Sky: Natalie & Ian at Willow Camp”
November 5 , 2023
Bathed in the golden hush of a November evening, Natalie and Ian’s wedding at Willow Camp in Stinson Beach felt like something out of a dream—quiet, sacred, and deeply tender. With just 45 of their closest friends and family gathered by the sea, love echoed in every detail, unhurried and fully present.
Natalie walked the coastal path toward forever in a gown by Cortana—a piece that took its time to reveal itself as the one. “It took me forever to figure it out,” she admitted with a smile. “But months later, looking back at photos, I saw it clearly—it was mine all along.” She found the gown at Wild Bride, a boutique known for its effortless romance and modern spirit.
The ceremony itself—held under open sky, facing the water—was Natalie’s favorite memory. “Reading our vows in front of all our loved ones… it was everything,” she recalled. With every guest staying onsite, the weekend unfolded like a gentle exhale—nothing rushed, everything savored.
The magic behind the scenes came to life through the planning of Small Blue Planet, with organic floral arrangements from Wild Coast Flora, and soulful cuisine by Debonair. Together, they created a celebration that felt deeply personal and naturally elegant.
After the final toast and last dance, Natalie chose to honor the memory of her gown the way one might press a flower between the pages of a love letter. Entrusting her dress to Elegance Preserved, she ensured every stitch, every whisper of fabric, would be cherished for years to come through Wedding Dress Cleaning, Wedding Dress Preservation, and one of their signature Wedding Dress Preservation Boxes. “Maybe one day,” she said softly, “my future daughter will want to wear it.”
