Turquoise Turtledoves in Love

Emily and Amanda wanted their special day to be colorful, celebrated with a close-knit group, and all about love!

Here we see the girls anxiously awaiting their first look!

Each Bride got ready in our separate private rooms to keep the surprise for as long as possible.

Guests were received by the adorable welcome table as they arrived, sweetly adorned in the bright turquoise accent runner and seating sign.

The peaceful ceremony was in our Wash House Courtyard in front of our grand Pepper Tree.

The intimate group had a perfect view of the detailed speeches and customized traditions that Amanda and Emily incorporated into their service.

Finished with their vows, the brides celebrated their union with a big kiss, and let the party commence!

These flirty and fun floral arrangements from Honeysuckle & Ivy were all over the property, and we love the wildflower, “fresh-picked from the field” look!

The Brides made sure to let their guests know how much they all meant to them with touching Thank You Notes lovingly folded into each guest’s napkin!

Personal Touch Dining kept the guests well-fed with their delicious assortment of appetizers!

Pictured below are the Baked Brie Bites with Apricot Sauce and fresh Blueberries, and the Coconut Shrimp with a Mango Puree.

The Photo Bus also helped keep guests busy during cocktail hour with pictures inside and out of their adorable vintage VW Bus Photo Booth!

True Photography captured the Brides snagging a ride in the front seat of this little love mobile!

Personal Touch Dining served up an incredible plate for Emily and Amanda’s seated dinner.

These hungry Brides chose to start with the fabulous Watermelon Caprese Stack Salad.

For their entrees, guests either had the Filet Mignon with Caramelized Onions and rich Garlic Butter or White Seabass with Mediterranean Spices and a fresh Lemon Butter Sauce.

All this goodness was over the Truffle Mashed Potatoes and Petite Carrots!

Flour Power baked and decorated a simple, yet lovely, personal-sized cake to showcase the custom made cake topper silhouette.

It fits these love birds perfectly!

We’re so excited to follow these two as their beautiful future together unfolds.

And we’re so honored they chose our humble Ranch to be part of their celebration of love!

Thanks to all the incredible vendors who helped us create another magical event!

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!
