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.dsc01852.JPGdsc01851.JPG

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.

dsc01850.JPGMy 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!

    This is such a beautiful setting you created, Mindy! So many of my brides lately have been wanting this kind of feel at their wedding and this is a PERFECT example of what they are dreaming of. Thanks for sharing!
