Oh how we love a beautiful bride with style! Add in a little graciousness – and we swoon to make her every wish happen. Carley was such a bride, and from our first meeting, I knew it was going to be a gorgeous and very personal wedding day. Having worked with Carley as the on site event coordinator at one of our preferred wedding venues in the area, I also knew that she would have the inside scoop on making a wedding fabulous – and I was not disappointed. Here are a few images we received from Andre Niesing at AN Photography, who really captured the character of this one of a kind site. Santa Margarita Ranch has such unlimited possibility for a bride and her designer – some of our favorite weddings have happened here.
The combination of bright colored spring blooms in shades of green, orange and gold, kept the feeling of the day fresh and vibrant. Organic elements were intermingled through out with interesting greens, green fruits and moss to provide an earthy, rustic vibe.
The custom rose petal monogram and swirl design, created the perfect pop of color to the ceremony in the garden.
Moss initials on the doors of the barn, accented with clusters of flowers were the perfect low key welcome element to the celebration to come in this historic California barn.
Centerpieces of spring blooms, moss & fruit were created as little gardens on each table set in copper buckets. Some of the garden-scapes also included manzanita and hanging crystals.
A simple sprig of orange freesia was tucked into each napkin, greeting the guests and sending off a subtle fragrance.
This custom wash on the dance floor was taken from the damask design on Carley & Matt’s wedding invitations. Our favorite lighting experts over at Kramer Entertainment DJs & Lighting produced this effect as well as all of the color washes on the cold stone walls of the barn, warming things up and creating an inviting and festive atmosphere inside and outside the barn.
