A Rainy Forecast Couldn’t Stop This Couple From Celebrating

A forecast of rain couldn’t damper the shine on this couple’s special day! Vanessa Noel Events planned the celebration done in green and white, and thinking fast had the reception under a stunning sailcloth tent in case of rain.  Floral design by Noonan’s Wine Country Designs is utterly romantic, and the incredible imagery captured by Ashley Rae Studio will sweep you off your feet.  See it all inside the full gallery.





From Ashley Rae StudioWhen you plan an early September wedding in Los Olivos, California, you expect sunny skies and warm, late-summer breezes! Rachel and Steve were no exception.





However, when a rainy forecast presented itself the week of the wedding, this couple was determined to pivot as needed to host the most stunning wedding celebration, perform an epic first dance for their guests (you have to see her sequin dress), and throw the most memorable after-party!





You can see from the photos, that although there was a slight drizzle that abated right before Rachel walked down the aisle, this couple’s spirit was not dampened, and their guests were still able to enjoy the most elegant al fresco dinner under the sailcloth tent the couple had installed last minute on the day before they wed!
