Haley always dreamt of a romantic, Spanish style wedding. A wedding filled with lace, brushed gold, chunky woods, candelabras, crosses, succulents, greenery, and ivory. With their location set on the scenic town of La Jolla California (near San Diego), Cortnie of Canvas & Canopy Events was the perfect designer to help Hayley + Greg create their dream day. Just wait until you see their stunning reception room! And of course hiring the lovely ladies of Joielala to capture their day made for perfection. Hayley said what she loved most about their wedding was “that the elegance of the day will stand the test of time and the uniqueness of all the details makes it stand on its own.” I couldn’t agree more! Congrats to Hayley + Greg!
I knew the dress I wanted before I even started dating my husband. I saw it in the window one afternoon in a bridal boutique store in San Francisco. It was exactly what I had always envisioned in. The dress, I later found out was the Monique Lhuillier, Scarlet. Â I didn’t try on one other wedding gown…it was a perfect fit.
We got married in a small, Spanish Catholic chapel in La Jolla, California with wood beamed ceilings and a beautiful gold detailed alter. Â The church was filled to the brim with our family and friends. Our reception was at the La Jolla Country Club, with breathtaking coastal views and wide open space.
Our wedding planner, Cortnie Purdy with Canvas and Canopy events, took our vision and went above and beyond our wildest dreams.  The dining area was flooded with candles, beautiful lace linens, gold place settings, greenery, and unique vintage Spanish elements scattered about perfectly.
No two tables were alike. The elegance and uniqueness was like something we had never seen at a wedding before. The “party”room was just as beautiful, with funky customized elements. We played a little more with color in this room – throwing in some gorgeous reds and burnt oranges. Amazing vintage white and gold furniture provided comfortable (and stylish) seating area, with hand made printed pillows courtesy of Cortnie.
Such a gorgeous + beautiful wedding! Congrats again to Hayley + Greg!

We were so honored to do the flowers for this gorgeous couple! As always, working with Canvas and Canopy is such a joy! Cortnie’s attention to details is beyond! Timeless and elegant.
This is by far on of the most spectacular weddings I’ve seen! How romantic! The details are stunning and the couple is gorgeous. I’m truly blown away and this makes me want to get married all over again:)
What a beautiful wedding, another great event by Canvas and Canopy Events, thanks to Cortnie for including our handmade rustic votive holders From https://www.facebook.com/timberlibrary in her design, it was simply Elegant Yet unrefined, and we always look forward to seeing what she comes up with!

Love every detail from this wedding. Another beautiful event from Canvas and Canopy Events. Love the elegant and romantic setting she designed for this couple.
Absolutely fabulous! Great job Cort as always. Hayley and Greg congrats! you look stunning – so glad I got to be apart of this special and beautiful day for you. Thanks – printed palette ink
Love this wedding. Especially the wedding dress. Well done
This wedding is my absolute favourite! Just resplendant! I have the same dress and so excited to wear it but finding the selection of underwear challenging. I wonder if the bride could share what she found helpful. Sorry to lower the tone!
Love this Monique Lhuillier dress! It’s kind of… PERFECT! :)
Where did you get the BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES from?!
This wedding is sooo beautiful! I hope my wedding looks half as nice. I wanted ton inquire about where the bride got her earrings and bracelet. Her accessorizing is on point and awesome. Please help a fellow bride out! Feel free to email me at: [email protected]
The dress speaks for itself…. stunning as is the rest of the wedding x
where did you get those gold cake platters??? i have been looking for platters like that for my wedding
Fantastic photos. The bride is gorgeous, love her shoes and the bridesmaids dresses. The decor is great!
What a beautiful wedding. The brides wedding dress is just gorgeous, nice bridal bouquet and elegant table decorations.
Those are some very unique centerpieces, they look so different and fun! Black bridesmaids are also not seen often, but they fit perfectly with this wedding. Gorgeous!
What a beautiful wedding!! I am looking for bridesmaid dresses exactly like these-where are they from?
Hi we are getting married in Spain & I am wondering does anyone know of any companies in Spain that do wedding decoration like this wedding above??
Thank you x.
Kudos to the wedding planner, the non-matching table settings is an inspired idea.
