Heartfelt, Hand-Crafted Charm

 

 

Dainty hand-made details were everywhere for Megan and Hunter’s wedding at The Ranch.

Their Sweetheart Table was adorable with a personal table setting that delighted us with a combination of rustic charm and chic gold accents.

 

How cute are all these details?! (Don’t miss that hint of peacock-teal!)

We can’t think of a better example of customizing a Sweetheart Table to fit the personalities of the Bride and Groom.

They turned this tiny table into their personalized throne and we cannot get enough!

 

The rest of the dining tables reflected their sense of style as well in a more formal manner, a perfect way to extend their personalities without over-cluttering the tables.

They had Kahki linens that beautifully stood out against the dark wood of the farm tables and lots of silver dollar eucalyptus, tying in our natural backdrop!

 

Their ceremony under our pepper tree was very sweet and afterward, their bridal party ushered

Hunter and Megan’s guests to the cocktail hour while the happy couple got to sneak away for a private moment.

 

For dinner, Hunter and Megan chose to serve Personal Touch Dining‘s Caprese Chicken, Stuffed Peppers with White Wine Risotto,

Oven Roasted Potatoes, and fresh in-season vegetables.

 

For dessert, instead of cake, they had pies to cut and serve with two fruit tarts for themselves!

 

Everything about their big day felt so genuinely straight-from-the-heart.

We were honored to have them choose us to help them celebrate it.

Thanks to Elizabeth French Creative for these stunning photos and to Personal Touch Dining for the food, coordination, and management of our events!

Photo booths are a fun way to provide countless picture keepsakes as well as entertainment during the event.

Small and simple favors can be wonderful as long as the genuine personality of the happy couple is felt through the gift.

They don’t always have to last forever! Too many weddings and guests have loads of little bobbles bouncing around their house.

These temporary tattoos are easy to customize, fun for all ages, and reduce a little of life’s clutter.

Succulents are becoming increasingly popular as favors due to their adorable size, wide range of styles, and easy care instructions.

So just remember:

These micro manifestations of the Bride and Groom are meant to be a fun, small, and meaningful “thank you” to your guests

for supporting your relationship and believing in your future.

If you have fun with it, they will too.

Amanda and Andrew were unbelievably fun to work with.

They kept us smiling throughout the entire planning process and made sure to

remind everyone that their wedding was a celebration!

Enjoy yourselves!

We can’t thank them enough for choosing us to spend their special day with them.

They had a wonderful sense of humor which also showed in all of their friends and family.

 

 

Their Bridal Party was energetic, positive, and always up for a great time.

 

Personal Touch Dining provided a full Mexican Style buffet with Mexican Cesar Salad, a Carnitas and Grilled Fish Taco Bar, Chilli Verde, Spanish Rice, and Black Beans.

The tables were set simply with yellow and burgundy accents which were complemented by our dark wood chairs and crisp white table linens.

To add the couple’s own bit of personality, each table was numbered by a different Disney Ride Post Card!

The guests had to use their “Fast Pass” escort cards to find their seats.

Such a fun personal touch by the Bride and Groom!

 

 

Andrew and Amanda brought one of our favorite vendors to the party as well!

Pixster came with their photo booth and hilarious props and entertained guests all night long.

 

 

Personal Touch Dining also provided a sweet treat to end the night.

S’mores!

Everyone custom roasted their mallows and paired their graham crackers with either a classic Hershey’s chocolate or Reese’s peanut butter cup.

 

 

We loved working with these two and hope that their sense of adventure and fun continues throughout their marriage!

 

Thanks to BE Studios for giving us all these amazing pictures

and again to Personal Touch Dining for the food

as well as Management and Coordination!
