First Touch at Noguchi Garden

📍 611 Anton Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA 92626


Before the ceremony, Elizabeth & George shared an intimate first touch at Noguchi Garden in Costa Mesa, which is a quaint public sculpture garden that represents the many geological characteristics throughout California. It was so touching to witness the calming of nerves as soon as they touched hands and exchanged heartwarming words. It was also exciting to see Elizabeth waited for George with her eyes closed as 2 groomsmen helped guide George in his blindfolds. Even with just a simple touch, you could feel the love and magic between them. What a beautiful moment! A "first touch" is perfect for couples who wish to go with tradition of no visual contact before walking down the aisle. It is also a great way to bond and calm the nerves before the wedding begins.

Elizabeth & George's evening wedding ceremony at The Hacienda was full of love & romance.

The red-brick indoor courtyard with lush greenery, warm string lights, and ivy draped on the wooden beams are just a few of the gorgeous features here. Elizabeth & George stood together hand in hand uniting their special bond, surrounded by their closest loved ones. They shared laughs, tears, and special unity traditions with both their parents and as two. Each and every moment of this ceremony was beautiful!
