An elegant style with hints of glam decorated the space at Santa Maria Country Club in Santa Maria, California, for the classic nuptials between Nadia Adam (24 and an executive assistant) and Tyler Adam (25 and a crop adviser). "It was really important that we were at a beautiful and easily accessible location for our large guest list," Nadia says. White and kraft paper wedding invitations speckled with gold designs gave guests a glimpse into the wedding's elegant style. The bridesmaids wore gold, sparkly dresses that delivered glamorous flair to their look, while Tyler and his groomsmen sported a classic style with their matching black suits and bow ties. Ivory blooms mixed with green foliage accented many of the day's details—from the elegant rose bridal bouquet to the hanging flower arrangements shaped into their first initials. Guests found their seats through classic white numbers surrounded by wreath designs on dining tables, where they enjoyed a delicious four-tier white cake filled with chocolate and lemon chiffon. We couldn't help but notice Nadia's ivory trumpet-style wedding dress with an illusion neckline, accented entirely in lace for a truly romantic look. "I ended up falling in love with a dress that didn't catch my eye initially," Nadia says. "Once I put it on, it was everything I had been searching for."

Nadia and Tyler ordered their white and kraft paper wedding invitations from Minted, designed with gold details that varied from page to page.
Although the Casablanca Bridal dress didn't initially catch Nadia's eye, she fell in love with the gown once she tried it on. The illusion neckline was paired with lace accents on the rest of the dress, which embodied a romantic style.
The flower girls wore a lush flower crown filled with ivory and yellow blooms, surrounding their high updo bun hairstyle.
"Once I decided that subtle gold elements would be part of the wedding decor, I thought there was no better way to complement the look than with gold sequin dresses," Nadia says. "I let the girls pick their own style, and I'm glad I did because I felt each dress was unique to their personalities."
Elegant Details created lush hanging decorations made of green leaves speckled with ivory blooms. The arrangements spelled out "T" for Tyler and "N" for Nadia, which added a cute personal touch to the decorations.
Elegant White Lace Dress Straps
Nadia held a romantic arrangement of ivory roses mixed with eucalyptus and greenery that served as her bridal bouquet. The flowers had a gold ribbon tied around the stems, holding it all together while adding another touch of elegance.
A gold glamorous frame bordered a black chalkboard sign that read "Tyler and Nadia Adam" with sketches of leaves surrounding the text. Their hashtag, written at the bottom, encouraged guests show off the wedding over social media throughout the day.
Tyler sported a classic look with his Black by Vera Wang suit, white collared shirt and black bow tie, which his groomsmen also wore.
A simple white piece of paper had a table number surrounded by a wreath design, which guided guests to their appropriate seating assignment. The markers contributed to the overall classic look Nadia and Tyler had envisioned for their wedding at Santa Maria Country Club in Santa Maria, California.
The four-tier white cake with gold accents had three layers of various chocolate flavors. The remaining layer had lemon chiffon flavoring with a raspberry center. Save a piece for us, please!
