san clamente garden wedding reception baby gender reveal party

Have you ever seen a wedding reception and baby gender reveal party in one? Jess and Trevor, like many couples, eloped with just the two of them back in 2020. Now that family and friends are able to come together safely again, the two were able to have the intimate wedding reception they always dreamed of, with all the people closest to them in attendance.

Not only were they finally able to celebrate their marriage with their loved ones, but they also have a fun surprise planned. Jess is pregnant with their little one, so they used the reception cake as a gender reveal cake! It was such a sweet moment and Jess and Trevor’s reactions were priceless.

The actual reception took place at a restaurant called The Vine, which happens to be right down the street from the couple’s home. The space was stunning. Full of lush greenery and rustic architecture. It was the perfect SoCal wedding venue for an intimate reception, in my opinion. And if you’re wondering who did all the gorgeous wedding reception florals, that was the bride herself, florist and plant lover extraordinaire!

This was the cutest celebration of so many special things put together. I got to witness a ton of laughs, tears, and true emotions, and I was so honored to be a part of this wonderful day.
