A Vintage Garden Party: Haley & Stephen’s Romantic San Diego Wedding. On a sun-drenched spring day in San Diego
May 4 , 2024
Haley and Stephen Hopkins celebrated their love in a wedding that felt straight out of a storybook. Their celebration at Green Gables Wedding Estate was an enchanting blend of vintage charm, garden whimsy, and heartfelt moments that reflected the couple’s vibrant personalities.
Haley walked down the aisle in a breathtaking Netta Benshabu gown, purchased at Kinsley James. “It was such a unique combination of so many aspects I had been looking for in a dress,” she said. “It was detailed and fairy-like but also bridal and special. I felt so confident in the dress!”
Her favorite memory of the day was one of pure emotion: the moment she saw Stephen waiting for her at the end of the aisle, tears in his eyes. “I was immediately relieved and SO thrilled. It was a perfect moment,” Haley shared.
The entire day was filled with charming, personalized details. From a Vintage Garden Party theme to live music, a live painter capturing the ceremony, and thoughtful conversation cards that encouraged guests to mingle with ease, every element was designed with love and creativity.
Haley’s gown now holds a cherished place in her heart—and her hopes for the future. “It is such a beautiful dress that I want to keep it in the best condition. I would love if a future family member wore it!” To ensure its beauty endures, she followed the trusted recommendations from Kinsley James and her alterations expert Natalya and chose Elegance Preserved’s wedding dress cleaning, wedding dress preservation, and their beautiful preservation boxes.
