A beautiful ceremony this weekend it began with this candle torchers. We were going to have each guest light one before they found their seat but it was too windy and it would of taken too long so we lit them all for the guests.
The wedding was at Ojai Valley Inn and Spa. What an amazing destination location! The bride wanted to create a ceremony design that didn’t fight with the lush green grounds that surrounded the area.
We used Bougainvillea and various moss and greens and some Orchids all florals in the orange, yellow and greens. It was warm, not overwhelming and most importantly the Bride and Groom loved it. They wanted the chairs in a 3/4 circle which is great for all the guests to see the couple say “I Do.” We usually don’t go all the way around with the chairs because I find that when taking pictures you see all the guests behind the Bride and Groom.
My most favorite detail is one that the Bride came up with. She showed me a picture of some birdcages that she loved. I was so excited, they were vintage and rusty and I just knew right when I saw them I would hang them in the trees that were a centerpiece of the ceremony area.
The florist placed greens inside the cage ahhhhhh so charming!
Enjoy …it was a great wedding weekend, I’m going to take a nap xoxox Mindy
oh and for an engagement or shower gift it will be a hit! Have a good weekend. Mindy
