The Bride Laine Monaldo, 30, a program manager at Monster Worldwide The Groom Shane Borman, 38, a sales manager at TotalMobile USA The Date June 26 For their beach wedding, Laine and Shane wanted the ocean to be the center of attention. They worked with neutral tones and pops of coral.

Escort cards matching the invitations were clipped to twine with clothespins.
With help from friends and family, Laine crafted the centerpieces. They painted manzanita branches coral and dropped them in low vases with seashells.
Instead of cake, the couple served cupcakes topped with chocolate starfish.
This coral and white design was carried through all of the wedding’s paper elements.
White-dyed starfish tied onto sticks with coral ribbon marked every other row of chairs at the ceremony.
The couple chose Kenny Chesney’s “Me and You” for their first dance.
Laine and her mom stained this lobster trap and set it out for the wedding cards.
The ceremony took place overlooking the water, with two sets of oars as the altar.
Laine had been coveting these polka-dot peep-toe heels for a while before she scored them on sale.
