Chelsea and Paul’s black and white wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and heartfelt emotion. Set in the beautiful Oak Room, their day unfolded with so much style and sentiment, a true reflection of who they are as a couple.
From the moment guests stepped into the reception space, every detail felt intentional. The black and white theme brought a chic, modern touch to the venue. A chic checkered dance floor became the focal point of the evening! Surrounded by tables adorned with black bows, soft candlelight, and white florals with lush greenery that tied everything together perfectly. It was classic and elevated, yet inviting—the kind of aesthetic that never goes out of style.
The day wasn’t just beautiful; it was emotional in the best way. One of the most touching moments came during Chelsea and Paul’s first look, a quiet exchange filled with happy tears and deep love before the celebration began. Those small, in-between moments often tell the story best: the anticipation, the connection, and the joy of finally stepping into this new chapter together.
As the sun set over Malibu, the Oak Room glowed with laughter and celebration. From their romantic portraits among the trees to a dance floor that stayed packed all night, every part of their day felt effortlessly them—stylish, genuine, and full of love.
Chelsea and Paul’s wedding was a stunning reminder that black and white will always be in style, especially when paired with emotion, joy, and a love as classic as theirs.
