Sunshine, Margaritas, and Alfresco Dining Is All You Need to Throw the Most Memorable California Wedding

Grace & Dylan's wedding was an upscale, summer weekend retreat, complete with a pool party, lawn games and competitions, a yoga class, a welcome party beneath the stars, and a garden party reception. The couples' immediate families and bridal parties stayed onsite in 5 cabins on Gardener Ranch's gorgeous grounds, and gathered throughout the weekend to meet one another and celebrate in breathtaking Carmel Valley.

The bride wore a Pronovias off-the-shoulder fitted lace gown with detachable sleeves. After dark, she changed into a strapless dress with oversized bow by Nookie. Her shoes were Andre Birman Clarita sandals.

The bridesmaids wore sage midi-length dresses from Mumu Weddings with neutral shoes.

The groom wore a light gray suit from Hugo Boss, and the groomsmen (and groomswoman) rented their suits from The Black Tux. The suits were worn with sage pocket squares from Mumu Weddings that matched the bridesmaid dresses.

Paradise Catering catered the reception with passed appetizers, plated salads, and a buffet-style live grill for entrees. It was the perfect alfresco summer evening on the garden estate lawn at Gardener Ranch. Bride and Goom Cocktails were the perfect summertime Margarita, and the late night Manhattan!

Engaged & Inspired designed and executed the stunning florals, which hung from the chandeliers indoors and gathered in overflowing baskets throughout the reception.

The couple served gelato from an old-fashioned gelato cart after dark, designed and coordinated by Engaged & Inspired.
