Mimi’s Flowers supplied the bouquets and Simply
Cakes by Jae provided a three-tier wedding cake
featuring layers of chocolate, vanilla with Bavarian cream
and raspberries, and spice cake with cream cheese filling.
The Wayfarer Restaurant prepared the dinner, Shear
Pleasure Salon and Spa did the bridesmaids’ hair and
Cannon Beach photographer Julie Adams took the
photos.
“We were really impressed with the vendors we
chose,” Erica said.
Sunshine filled their wedding day, even though the
beach was chilly and windy. Inside the Surfsand, Beatles
music played during their Beatles-themed ceremony,
chosen because John had grown up hearing the Beatles.
Erica walked down the aisle to “Across the Universe.”
They lit their candles to “In My Life,” and as the newly
married couple walked up the aisle, the tune “Two of Us”
played in the background.
Following the ceremony, John and Erica headed to the
beach, where Adams took photos of the bride, dressed in
a lace gown reminiscent of the 1940s, and the groom
kissing in front of Haystack Rock.
The day went smoothly, said John, who offered some
advice for those considering a beach wedding: “Don’t
hesitate,” he said. “Don’t be scared of the weather. Don’t
be afraid of the logistics.”
For Erica, the location was perfect.
“I can’t wait to go back,” she said. “I have so many
memories.”
