The lush golf course where Lindsay and Nathan said their vows needed little to make it look pretty, so the couple chose to accent their setting simply with sophisticated shades of pink and brown. The Bride Lindsay Sutherland, 25, boutique manager The Groom Nathan Jones, 25, loan officer The Date July 2 It took a lot of convincing to get Lindsay to the spot where Nathan planned to propose -- the unsuspecting bride-to-be had to walk along a dark, muddy path before arriving at a spot overlooking La Jolla, complete with champagne, candles, and a engagement ring. Once she got there, she said Yes!

The wedding's palette was most prominent in the bouquets, made up of white and pink peonies, ranunculus, roses, and white hydrangea. Chocolate brown cosmos finished off the stylishly modern blooms.
For Lindsay's seven bridesmaids, she hired a seamstress to make strapless, pink, tea-length, silk dupioni dresses. Pink Charles David shoes completed their look.
The reception overlooked the Fairbanks Ranch golf course, where Lindsay and Nathan said their vows. At each table, napkins were tied with a pink and brown ribbon, pink name cards were written in brown, and tall glass vases were filled with white and pink peonies, ranunculus, and roses, white hydrangea, and chocolate brown cosmos.

As a tribute to Nathan's late father, his favorite song, I Can Only Imagine recorded by one of the groom's high school friends, was played during Communion.
The couple's monogram in pink punctuated the white wedding cake, which was filled with fresh raspberries.
