Wine-reds added a russet touch to our rustic ranch.

Our signature sunsets seemed to be on the mind when Kevin and Kaleigh chose their color pallet.

 

The varying shades of reds, oranges, and bright yellows all warmly blend together while making the blue of Kevin’s suit seem to glow!

 

ABM Wedding Photography was able to capture some amazing detail shots like the one above and this one of the rings

which we are just obsessed with!

Kaleigh looked absolutely radiant in her gown and made our Ranch seem to sit-up and shake the dust off as she walked by!

 

 

They also had some cleverly unique decorations for our reflecting pool which we’re always excited to see get some love.

 

 

These home-made floating frames peacefully drifted with the wind and showed off the happy couple’s engagement pictures!

 

 

The ceremony was in our Wash House patio with the ever-wonderful Bethel Nathan from Ceremonies by Bethel.

 

Kaleigh and Kevin decided to have a few floral decorations down the aisle,

but kept it beautiful and simple,

allowing our Ranch’s natural beauty to shine through.

 

 

 

The dining area was framed in Farm Tables and we can’t get enough of all the dark wood to off-set our light and natural tones.

While admiring the floral arrangements, you might assume a professional came through and delivered each piece,

but it was actually Kaleigh’s Grandmother who decorated!

 

 

 

Thanks to her help with those final touches, the floor looked exquisite.

 

 

 

Guests were each given a custom-made wine glasses as a wedding favor to use throughout the night.

 

 

 

Personal Touch Dining added Crispy Bacon Crumbles to their already delicious Chicken and Waffel Bites at the request of the happy couple.

The result was an explosion of sweet and salty flavors that had the guests ravenous for more!

 

 

 

As the sun began to set, Personal Touch Dining served dinner.

Kevin and  Kaleigh chose their Citrus + Oregano Marinated Tri-Tip and Mahi Mahi with a Lemon Chardonnay Sauce

to go with Oven Roasted Potatoes, Fresh Vegetables, and a Spring Greens Salad.

 

 

 

For dessert, everyone was excited to see cookies, lemon squares, cake shooters, cake-pops, blondies, and fresh churros!

A little bit of each sweet is a sure recipe to a hungry guest’s heart.

 

 

Thanks again to Kevin and Kaleigh for choosing us to be part of their special day!

We loved celebrating your love!

 

Thanks also go to ABM Wedding Photography for the stunning wedding shots

and to Personal Touch Dining for the Catering, Coordination, and Management of our Ranch!

Floral arrangements by KO Floral Designs

Andie and Derek were looking for a rustic and colorful wedding, focusing on fun and family

while transforming the Ranch into a desert oasis!

 

 

To Be Designed worked with Andie and Derek to make table settings flow perfectly with their theme and color accents.

 

 

KO Floral Designs worked with them to fill in the centerpieces.

 

 

The napkins and goblets were each in a different pattern which was a fun way to break away from too much uniformity.

Their cohesive colors drew everything together for a fun and relaxed, but beautiful arrangement.

 

 

The collecting of dark blues and brilliant pops of fiery orange was such a unique color pallet!

 

 

Escort Card holders doubled as favors for the guests!

 

 Table from To Be Designed

This Sweetheart Table is so well put together with its rustic desert charm!

 

 

 

Little details like these salt and pepper shakers always touch our sandy Ranch hearts!

 

 

Guests were loving our Corn Hole boards and other lawn games during cocktail hour!

These games live here at the Ranch and we offer them to all our couples to use free of charge.

 

 

Use of the Cabana Bar for the dessert station is a favorite for many of our happy couples.

Personal Touch Dining provided dinner and desserts!

The rustic weathered wood and open shelves invite everyone to sample a sweet treat.

 

 

We appreciate Derek and Andie choosing us to help celebrate their big day.

One more round of applause goes to To Be Designed and KO Floral Designs for all your hard work making our Ranch look so beautiful!

Thanks also go out to Amy Lynn Photography for sharing all these phenomenal pictures with us.

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.

Just had to thank Courtney and Ian for choosing Leo Carrillo Ranch to help celebrate their beautiful wedding; we were absolutely delighted with their spin on our rustic Spanish ranch vibe. Their silver and white linens drew out the stark white of our Hacienda walls and the lighter grey tones of the cross style farm dining tables were further accented by the simple yet beautiful gold cutlery, glass and gold rimmed chargers, and gold rimmed wine glasses from To Be Designed.

This elegant table setting transitioned effortlessly to a variety of different vases and collection of peachy and pink flowers, succulents, and our signature Leo Carrillo eucalyptus from Foxtail Floral in the table centerpieces to soften the classic look and bring a bit of excitement. The fun floral fusion helped our newest favorite funky little escort cards POP once the guests found their seats! These adorable burritos frescos, (miniature donkey pinatas fringed to the max with pinks, blues, greens, and yellows) immediately grabbed guest and vendor attention alike seeing them perched and ready to party on a shelved wooden wall. The smiles they instilled were infectious, setting the tone for the rest of the evening: Classic elegance with a spritz of some LCR Spanish fiesta!

Personal Touch Dining treated us to an elevated version of some surf and turf with their savory tri tip and salmon entrees, but the show stopper was Flour Power‘s geode inspired wedding cake! Thank you Mirelle Carmichael for these gorgeous shots and to LVL Events for helping us keep everything running smoothly.

 What a beautiful day to celebrate the wedding of M + K!  They kept their ceremony to the original charm of the Ranch, repeating their heart felt vows to each other under our Pepper Tree. For the reception, we witnessed their passion for travel, and had their table numbers represent the cities that they’ve been to together, including mini iron bicycles as seating cards – a creative touch! – along with Studio Fleurish’s eye catching spring blooms that never disappoint. Not to forget, they shared the Lithuanian culture with us, and treated their guests with the ever-so delicious Lithuanian cake, amongst other favored sweets. It was definitely a day to remember for these two, and their love was undeniable!

Special thanks to Top Shelf Photography for these shots!
