Lido House in Newport Beach is a dream wedding venue for couples who love coastal elegance mixed with modern charm. Nestled in the heart of Newport Beach, this boutique hotel offers a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a stylish wedding celebration. Scott and Laura’s wedding at Lido House was a breathtaking affair filled with love, laughter, and stunning details that made their day truly unforgettable.

Pre-Ceremony Moments 

Scott and Laura chose to forgo a traditional first look, instead naturally seeing each other before the ceremony in a private and unplanned moment. They also had the chance to mingle with some of their guests before officially walking down the aisle, creating a relaxed and intimate start to their day.

Ceremony & Ceremony Details

Scott and Laura’s ceremony took place on the picturesque Lido Lawn, adorned with lush floral arrangements and elegant decor. The intimate setting, combined with the golden California sunshine, made for a breathtaking ceremony. They exchanged heartfelt vows surrounded by their closest family and friends, and the joy on their faces as they shared their first kiss was truly magical.

Cocktail Hour on the Lawn

After the ceremony, guests were welcomed to a stylish cocktail hour on the Lido Lawn. They sipped signature drinks and enjoyed a relaxed, sunlit atmosphere. Elegant lounge seating and high-top tables encouraged mingling, while delicious hors d’oeuvres were passed around. With live music setting the mood, it was the perfect transition into an evening of celebration.

Portraits at Lido House Wedding 

While guests mingled, we explored some of the best photo locations, capturing their family, bridal party, and them as a couple. As the sun began to set, we moved up to the rooftop terrace for stunning golden-hour portraits. The warm light and ocean breeze added a dreamy touch to their photos.

Reception at Lido House

The reception was nothing short of spectacular. The decor featured soft, romantic florals, twinkling candlelight, and elegant table settings that complemented the venue’s coastal aesthetic. Instead of traditional centerpieces, each table had its own beautifully decorated cake. Guests got to cut it at the same time Scott and Laura cut theirs. This unique and interactive detail added a fun and personal touch to the celebration. Guests enjoyed a delicious meal, heartfelt toasts, and a lively dance floor that kept the celebration going all night. One of the most memorable moments was Scott and Laura’s first dance, swaying under the warm glow of the bistro lights. To make the night even more special, their favorite local band played live! It filled the space with music that kept guests dancing well into the evening.
