Romantic Hummingbird Nest Ranch Wedding With Classic Touches
From Hannah and Ajay - We wanted to create an atmosphere and ambiance that was a reflection of us and our relationship. The vision for our wedding was timeless and romantic with intimate details that made our wedding stand out to our guests. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the guidance of our wedding planner, Hailey Lillard of Detailed Touch Events. She is the epitome of what you should look for in a wedding planner. She has amazing relationships with her vendors, she is extremely organized, she has strong communication and has the ability to bring your vision to life. We couldn’t have done it without her and her team. From DTE - From a design perspective, I was inspired by the innate beauty of the Hummingbird Nest Ranch venue. The specific area of the venue that Hannah and Ajay chose for their ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were already incredibly beautiful, and I wanted the design to complement rather than compete with these natural surroundings. Initially, they were inclined towards a traditional palette of whites and greenery, but when I introduced subtle accents of blush pink and powder blue, they absolutely loved it. This color palette was a subtle yet effective way to introduce depth and softness to prevent the design elements from falling flat within the natural greenery of the venue. One of the highlights of the wedding design, for me, was bringing Hannah's vision of a canopy of twinkling lights to life above the reception area. Set in an open grassy field, it created a warm, intimate, and inviting atmosphere for all the guests to enjoy.
Hannah purchased her dress at For Love Bridal in Sherman Oaks, California. It was a beautiful ivory lace dress with a sweetheart neckline adorned with floral appliques.
Ajay had a custom tuxedo made from Isaia which is a renowed menswear line out of Italy.
Appetizers and dinner were provided by Command Performance Catering. Hannah and Ajay were dedicated to infusing their personal touch into every aspect of their wedding day, and the menu was no exception. Blueberries from Ajay's family farm adorned their salad and plated dessert, a delightful apple blueberry crumble served with vanilla ice cream. Pistachios from the family farm were also featured in the pistachio-crusted halibut dinner option. To cap off the night, guests enjoyed burgers and chips from Hannah and Ajay's favorite burger joint, In-N-Out, courtesy of a fun food truck that arrived during the dancing festivities. Hannah and Ajay had a playful touch in naming their specialty cocktails. One was dubbed 'Mungers,' a classic mix of Tito's vodka, cranberry, and lime. The other was named 'The Jaxx' after their beloved dog, featuring tequila on the rocks garnished with a French bulldog stir stick and accompanied by a custom sketch of Jaxx on a cocktail napkin.
