With the warm weather and ocean breezes upon us, outdoor weddings are flourishing. The
incomparable beauty of the Santa Cruz and Monterey coastlines offer stunning
back drops for ocean front, beach weddings. Equally awe-inspiring and with the magical quality of being surrounded by towering ancient redwoods are the Santa Cruz mountain venues for outdoor weddings – and they
just happen to be right in DapperLads "neck of the woods".
The DapperLads.com office / warehouse is tucked away amid
the coastal redwoods in the laid-back mountain town of Felton. With the state park of Henry Cowell just behind us, we often see horses and riders meandering the downtown streets heading
out to the trails. As such, we are featuring a horse-themed photo shoot for our ring bearer suit and flower girl dress selections.
