Some wedding days feel straight out of a storybook, and this micro wedding at Scott’s Seafood in Oakland’s Jack London Square was one of them. Nestled along the Bay, this venue brought all the romantic coastal vibes. A soft haze lingered in the air, wrapping the day in that perfect Northern California ambiance that feels both serene and intimate. The Bay’s ever-changing light worked its magic, especially when the sun made a surprise appearance during the bridal portraits. Talk about having some good luck with Bay Area weather!

The bride’s dress was nothing short of breathtaking. With an elegant open back detailed in mesh lace and short shoulder sleeves, it struck the perfect balance of timeless and modern. And when her son helped her get ready? Such a sweet, unforgettable moment. Later, he walked her down the aisle to meet her partner, making the ceremony even more meaningful. It’s these little personal touches that truly make a wedding day one-of-a-kind.

Oakland’s Coastal Charm and Romantic Fall Details

The floral design was a showstopper, featuring deep scarlet reds paired with subtle fall-inspired hues. The bold bouquets perfectly complemented the bridesmaid dresses, which came in a spectrum of rich autumn colors. The Bay Area florist nailed it with a vision that tied the entire day together. From the ceremony to the reception, every bloom felt intentional and effortlessly elegant.

I always tend to lean into the details of the day. No matter how small I always seek them out. I feel that they are the most simple yet perfect puzzle pieces in telling a full story of your day.

A Cozy Reception with Simply Elegant Tablescape Design

The reception was all about warmth and intimacy. Circle tables created a cozy, full feeling in the smaller room, proving you don’t need a sprawling space to host an unforgettable celebration. The couple opted for a minimalist tablescape featuring pops of light blue linens and simple bud vases filled with fresh blooms. It was understated, yet so striking. Add in the soft glow of coastal view right outside, and you’ve got a vibe that’s pure magic for a micro wedding at Scott’s Seafood.

Sentimental Personal Touches

This wedding wasn’t just about the big, picturesque details—it was the small, heartfelt moments that stole the show. The bride’s son helping her and her bridesmaids get ready and walking her down the aisle, the laughter shared over toasts, and the way everyone paused to take in the beauty of the day—these are the kinds of memories that stick with you.
