We promise we didn’t stage this…

This stunning Boho-chic wedding that looks as though it was inspired by the tiniest details from around our ranch. The only way Charlie’s suit could better match our peacocks is if he glued some feathers on!

(Which we’re glad he didn’t. No need when the whole bridal party looked so fabulous already.)

The decor was beautiful, antiqued, and simple.

It had lots of lush silver eucalyptus, tall white candles, and didn’t need any excess frill.

The centerpieces and floral arrangements were done by Haystack Floral.

A recycled window acted as their seating chart! Cute and Eco-friendly, what’s not to love?

One of our small farm tables served as a memory table for family members who had passed on, bringing their spirit to the couple’s special day.

We love the regal extra-long head table. Sometimes unavoidable when you want to keep your large bridal party close to you during dinner; it allows for all the guests to see and it’s reminiscent of royal court banquets.

Very romantic in its own dignified way.

Ending the festivities in our Cabana at the dessert bar is always a treat.

Megan and Charlie kept the decorations simple here too, allowing the building’s natural rustic nature to come through.

We can’t get enough of this adorable couple and just wanted to thank them again for choosing us to be part of their big day and for Petula Pea Photography for these stunning photos.

Big thanks also go out to all of the wonderful vendors and especially our amazing event staff through Personal Touch Dining, who not only Managed and Coordinated the event but also provided all the food!

Bruce and Hillary had such an eye for details! Here at the Ranch, many of our historic buildings get overlooked by couples who favor the grandeur of the Hacienda. These two noticed the quaint get-away at the top of the hill before the Hacienda and chose that location to share a private moment for their first look!

The tiny cabin was once the Art Studio and private retreat that Carrillo built as a token of his love for his wife Deedie. Being a lover of art and shyer in personality than Carrillo, it was her quiet haven from Carrillo’s more wild lifestyle. Park guests can visit this secretive spot on the LCR Walking Tour during the park’s visiting hours to hear about her collection of Native American pottery and other hobbies.

We always love a bright flash of fuschia and yellow here at the Ranch. The bouquets and centerpieces by RHO/220 Event Designs feature some bright colors which compliment our white-washed walls and backdrop of eucalyptus trees. The peacock chairs always add a regal bohemian twist on a simplistic sweetheart table as well.

Photobooths are a fantastic way to keep guests entertained during the reception and make for instant memories to frame or put up on their fridge at home. The Photo Bus is a fun way to take the photobooth idea up a notch, and it looks super retro and cute!

Thank you, Hillary and Bruce, for choosing us to help you celebrate your amazing wedding. Thanks also to Holly Daze Photos for providing us with such beautiful photos and Nick Weiss Music for rocking the dance floor.
