Brett and Bianca’s wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara was a coastal dream from start to finish. Bianca got ready in a beautiful ocean-view suite, sharing gifts, emotional first looks, and sweet moments with her bridesmaids and parents before meeting Brett for a heartfelt first look that set the tone for the day.

Their ceremony took place on the bluffs overlooking the water, with soft, airy florals lining the aisle and the coastline stretching out behind them. They exchanged personal vows and honored meaningful Filipino traditions—the coins, veil, and cord—creating a ceremony that felt intimate, intentional and deeply personal.

The celebration continued in the rotunda, where the reception featured soft neutrals, lush white florals, glowing candlelight, and natural rattan accents. Before their grand entrance, guests watched a fun mini-movie the couple had filmed sparking cheers and setting a lively tone for the evening. The night included their first dance, parent dances, cake cutting and a high-energy open dance floor that kept guests celebrating well into the night.
