Born and raised in the OC, the ladies of Intertwined are very bias when it comes to our hometown! We lovethe beaches, restaurants, shopping, laid back butalways-stylishlifestyle that we call our own. And you better believe we will put our wedding destinations up against any as the very best in the world!
Truly, there is no better place to fall in love(all over again) with the man of your dreamswatching a gorgeous sunset, eating yummingfresh food,with your toes in the sand. But don’t think the Beaches are all this county has to offer when planning your romantic getaway!
At the end of April, Newport holds its own film festival so for you movie buffs this is a great time to be in town, but for a quieter, more romantic stay, I advise booking from May on. The Island Hotel is a much recommended, gorgeous getaway for couples.
The gorgeous Fairmont Hotel offers a Love-California Style Package, complete with champagne, luxury suite, and late check out so you and your beau can lounge all day. Every Valentines Day (shoot..just missed it), the package includes a pair of soft, downy robes and a balcony. Another one of their offers is a cruise around Newport Harbor aboard the Duffy, which you can crew yourself for the active couple!
Newport is also home to four of the ten most romantic restaurants in Orange Country, according toExaminer.com. These include Il Farro, a rustic, Tuscany style Italian nook, and fresh fare Cafe R&D.
In nearby Laguna, visit the Montage Laguna Beach and enjoy a couples massage and a rose petal bath. It doesn’t get more luxurious than this.
For the activity-bound, you have the Happiest Place on Earth, just 20 minutes away in Anaheim, as well as the home of Angels Baseball and Ducks Hockey for the sports fans! If you are looking for a great concert check out what’s scheduled at the Honda Center, Irvine Meadows or pack a picnic of wine and your favorite bites and listen to the OC Pacific Symphony under the stars!
So, we might need to stop here as we clearly could go on for days about the shopping, spas, restaurants, beaches, hotels, and lil’ hideaways that we adore and simply refer to as home! Alas, we will leave it up to you, but be sure to tell us your favorite Romantic Getaways in Orange County!
xo,
The Ladies of Intertwined
