Allison + Danny | Private Estate
Allison + Danny’s dreamed of a wedding that captured the rustic beauty of the Ranch, but also encompassed magical and whimsical touches throughout. With Allison’s love of hydrangeas and a whimsical sunset palette of flowing dresses for her bridesmaids, we were determined to make their vision a reality.
Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, our happy couple exchanged vows in a lovely outdoor ceremony. A beautifully designed bridal arch covered in lush greenery and pale blue, cream and pink blooms by Cherries Flowers, served as the ceremonies focal point where all eyes were on Allison + Danny as they exchanged vows. Allison’s bridesmaids sunset palette of dresses paired perfectly with the groomsmen's light grey suits and the natural surroundings.
The cocktail hour in the apple orchard was full of signature cocktails served from a vintage teardrop trainers from Libations Unlimited and fun lawn games to keep guests entertained. For the reception, guests walked to the top of the hill for dinner under a twinkle-lit tent canopy thanks to Got Light. A mix of long family style tables and round intimate tables were paired with vineyard chairs to play off of the natural surroundings. We kept the table design minimal allowing the focus to be on the gorgeous floral centerpieces of soft blue, pink and cream blooms.
For entertainment later on in the evening, we converted the garage into a club for the late night dancing with lighting washes, white leather furniture, and an amazing live band, The Duvets!
