We had the honor of celebrating the love and heritage of Denise and Luis in the fall! This beautiful celebration, published on BRIDES, perfectly encapsulated elements of their traditional culture with an added modern twist. Denise and Luis shared their first impression after touring, saying“It was definitely love at first sight. Because both of our family backgrounds are rooted in ranch settings, we knew the venue would tie into our theme perfectly.”

Embark Event Design brought this couple’s vision to life with balanced elements of old and new. To match the theme and embody the al fresco and modern traditional Mexican elements, the color scheme included dark red, burnt orange and subtle blue hues. On the day of, a mariachi band surprised Denise and her bridesmaids to help kick off the special day.

Ceremony and reception were covered in beautiful florals by April Flowers and furnished by All About Events and Avenue Twelve. Following their Mexican ceremony, the couple and their guests headed to the Barn & Courtyard for their reception. The courtyard was dressed in autumnal blooms and neutral linens set against the backdrop of the rustic barn. The couple was handed specialty drinks hand crafted by Copper and Crystal as guests sat down for a delicious dinner prepared by Field to Table Catering & Events. From there, the guests danced the night away with a live mariachi band. We had such an amazing time celebrating Denise and Luis!

We patiently waited for this gallery for quite some time - this Martha Stewart Weddings feature gives an inside look to Katie and Connor’s gorgeous late summer wedding! Click on the link above for the full article.

Katie’s dream was to get married in her hometown of San Luis Obispo, always knowing Greengate Ranch & Vineyard was the venue she wanted. With their venue chosen, their talented planner, Vanessa Noel Events, used Katie and Connor’s vision to create a modern, coastal and fun celebration - perfect for the Central Coast destination.

Their ceremony at the Pond was outfitted with a beautiful organic floral arch by Noonan’s Designs. The celebration then moved to the front of the Ranch House for a cocktail hour full of refreshing drinks and delicious appetizers by Field to Table Catering.

It was a perfect summer night as cocktail hour turned into a coastal reception in the Stables with a soft palette of greens, blues and neutrals. At sunset, Katie and Connor slipped away into the vineyards of the Greengate property for photos with Kelsea Holder, giving them an intimate time to appreciate the excitement of the day.

Guests dined and danced the night away in the Stables under Bella Vista Design’s perfectly coastal-modern light installation. The bride and groom personally curated playlists DJ’d by Party Proper that kept the crowd entertained all night before they exited through a sea of cold spark cannons. This was a dream vendor team for a dream couple and we loved every minute of celebrating Katie and Connor!

Yes, yes, yes!!! So excited to get this gallery back and hear that it is up on Green Wedding Shoes for the world to see. This wedding was the perfect Sikh-American blend, equally as rich in color as it was in culture. What a fun weekend for Sonya and Mangal (and the rest of us who got to watch all of these elements come together into something so beautiful). There is no question this vendor team nailed it - from the signage to the florals and creative installations, we are swooning over it all.

Their Mehndi Night was held at the Ranch House, with guests welcomed out on the Vineyard Vista and a seated dinner behind on the Terrace Lawn. A few snaps of the Mehndi dinner can be seen below!

Ceremony and reception details were inspired and innovative. April Flowers threw a twist on some old-school floral classics with her ceremony and reception installation pieces. We definitely don’t mind seeing baby’s breathe and carnations around again if they look like these ones!

A colored carnation string installation framed the barn entrance. Nothing could have paired with it better than Paper Cake’s color bomb dessert variety display - yum! Enjoy more photos on the Green Wedding Shoes website.
