Maureen and Matt, a Big Sur Ventana Wedding

The Bride had impeccable taste, the back of this dress was made up of vintage fasteners (as a buyer for a major high end department store she knew how to shop!).

We went for a table set-up that would feel cozy, like a grand dinner party.

Loved Maureen's custom Keds with her wedding date stitched in lavender thread.

I love when couples display vintage family wedding pictures!

The lower deck at Ventana has the most amazing view of the coastline.

We sent the couple down to the beach post ceremony with Scott so they could catch this amazing light!

Edith made this sweet topper in the shape of their new shared initial.

I've posted a behind the scenes look at this wedding, but wanted to share the real shots of the day from the talented Scott Campbell. I loved working with Maureen and Matt, as well as this very talented vendor team.

Bobby and Diane -A Pema Osel Ling, Amphitheater of the Redwoods wedding part two

We love Pema Osel Ling in the Santa Cruz Mountains for it's gorgeous amphitheater in the redwoods and rustic charm (the food is pretty great too!)  Joel Flory of Flory Photo got some really great shots while Country Essences Flowers created beautiful personals and centerpieces.

We loved the reaction Diane had to seeing her vision of the reception come to life!

Diane and Bobby shared lots of cool pictures of family and friends and also used the picture of them as the "theme" in their invites and favors

Escort Cards

Diane made all the wood signs and had lots of fun DYI details she did herself

Since Pema Osel Ling is in the mountains, we thought it was best to protect guests in case of anything that might "bug" them

Joel Flory of Flory Photo caught many sweet moments between the couple

Country Essences Flowers did the bright happy floral with locally grown flowers

A sweet moment

Day-Of Coordination was done by the fabulous Rebecca Guiney and Linnea Jones of Coastside Couture

The beautiful bride Diane and her amazing and contagious smile.

The girls goofing off for pictures

We loved the bridesmaids dresses!

This picture was too cute not to share, a big thumbs up for the groom

Immediately after the ceremony we had a trumpet player lead the bridal party and guests to the cocktail reception, it was a fun and festive way to get guests across the large property

Stay tuned for the reception and all the details tomorrow!

Lindsay and Ilan, a Sunset Wedding at Carmel Valley Ranch Part 2

The Coastside Couture Dynamic Duo in action getting the Bride ready for the ceremony.

Almost time!

We used local wine for the ceremony.

Heat and light are essentials for a sunset ceremony, especially on a cool evening at the end of October!

We back-lit the trees at the Vineyard Ceremony site for a dramatic ceremony backdrop.

The centerpieces comprised of small arrangements of deep red autumn floral which gave a richness to the room.

Susan, the Bride's Mom, made all the female guests facinators to wear during the reception. So fun!
