Rancho Valencia | Liz + Joe

I am so excited to share Liz & Joe’s wedding gallery – they are such an incredible couple and I adored planning this special destination wedding weekend with these two and their families.  Every guest at this wedding traveled from various cities around the country which made it so special to bring everyone together in one place.  Rancho Valencia is the perfect setting for a warm, outdoor September wedding.  There is so much lush, natural beauty everywhere you look and we knew we wanted to tie that into the design.  Nisie’s Enchanted created a magical setting full beautiful florals and greenery with vibrant bursts of orange – a nod to the local orange groves. Liz & Joe exchanged their vows among gorgeous overflowing floral arrangements surrounded by their closest family and friends. I love the bouquet that Nisie created for Liz – natural, yet perfectly tailored to complement Liz’s dress. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed signature cocktails and delicious bites on the terrace.  The reception was also held outdoors on the Croquet Lawn, where the tables were adorned with gorgeous floral arrangements and crystal bowls filled with oranges.  Our beautifully draped open-air tent that was accented with lush greenery and beautiful lighting by Amber Event Production – so dreamy!  Our gorgeous oversized power bar and the dance floor was packed all night and so many guests mentioned that Midnight Special from West Coast Music was the best wedding band they have ever seen and heard.  It was a party from beginning to end! Every little detail was carefully thought out and the end result was a timeless, elegant weekend to remember.
