SEPTEMBER 19TH
GETTING HERE
Laguna Beach is an artsy beachy town located halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. It's a quaint, laid back place full of art galleries, beach bars, and surfboards.
The closest airports are LAX and JWA. (The LAX-Laguna drive is 60 minutes. JWA-Laguna is 30 mins. Without traffic, of course.) If you don't feel like driving, this company offers shuttle services to and from airports.
Once you arrive, you won’t need a car. Everything is close and we’ll have shuttles to transport guests to all the events.

AFTER PARTY AT 11PM - ?
As you know, Brazilians like to party... and party... and then party a little more! So if you’re also like that, join us when we hop on a party bus and go to the hottest clubs in the O.C.
HOTELS
We hand-picked 5 different hotels in different styles. For the events, the shuttles will be picking up all guests from these hotels, so if you chose to stay elsewhere please plan to leave to the party from one of these pick-up spots.

dress code
Sunset Drinks: White casual and beachy
We’ll be right by the beach so think light fabrics, sunglasses and hats. The dress code is inspired by Brazilian New Year’s when everyone wears white, silver, and/or gold. Tradition says these colors bring peace, good luck and good vibes.
For the ladies, we'll be right next to the beach but won't be on the sand so if you want to rock some heels, go for it!
The wedding: Seaside Chic
The wedding will start in the early afternoon in the garden at a beautiful Estate with a breathtaking ocean view. Men can wear light suits or blazers.
The rest of the time:
SoCal is super laid back. Pack comfortable beachy clothes - don’t forget your bathing suit and sunscreen dudes!

Gift registry
Dear Friends and Family,
Thank you for visiting our website and registry page.
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ever ask for! The time, effort and expense of traveling to be with us is something we deeply appreciate in our hearts, and we are so thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this happy occasion with you. You all have blessed our lives and we can't wait to share our special day with you!
We already have most of many of the household items that are traditionally given as wedding gifts so we created a registry with some ideas of how our family & friends might choose to make our honeymoon even more memorable. Thank you of being part of our lives.
Sincerely,
Carolina and Doug
