Modern Luxury in the Wild at the Heritage Fallbrook at Welburn Farms

The Planning
The Inspiration
Drawing inspiration from modern art and the natural beauty of Fallbrook, our styled shoot encapsulated the essence of modern luxury in the wild. The curves of the gourds grown on the Welburn Gourd Farm in Temecula and abstract forms of wavy sculptures guided our artistic direction, resulting in a stunning juxtaposition of natural beauty and modern design. The design blended clean lines with bold curves and created a look that was both minimal and timeless, yet brimming with untamed beauty.
The Venue
Nestled in the heart of the lush rolling hills of Fallbrook, our styled wedding shoot took place on an exclusive piece of the enchanting Welburn Gourd Farm. This farmland offered a serene and picturesque backdrop with jaw-dropping views. It perfectly encapsulates the essence of modern luxury in the wild. Surrounded by vibrant greenery and the wide open spaces, the location provided a stunning contrast to our clean, minimal design elements. The untamed beauty of the rolling hills combined with the farm's unique charm made for an unforgettable venue that beautifully highlighted our artistic vision.
The Fashion
Wedding Gown
For our styled wedding shoot, San Diego's The Dress Theory provided two exquisite looks from designers Flora and Sarah Seven. The Flora dress, "Rashel," is a strapless, opulent beauty with a high slit, pearlescent sheen, and rich fabric that embodies effortless glamour and luxury. Its lavish design and dramatic puffy sleeves mirror the artistic curves of our vision. In contrast, the Sarah Seven gown features a sleek, tight corset with thin straps, offering a minimal aesthetic that exudes modern elegance and timeless simplicity. Together, these gowns perfectly capture the essence of luxury, femininity, and unique elegance, enhancing our theme of modern luxury in the wild.
Wedding Party
Complementing the bride’s stunning looks, the groom wore a classic black tux, epitomizing timeless sophistication.
The Details
Florals & Decor
The floral design for our styled wedding shoot was crafted by Siren Floral Co. Rachael is known for her intricate designs and creative touch. She beautifully captured the theme of modern luxury in the wild. A freestanding ceremony arch made from pink flowering magnolia branches stood as a stunning arch to frame the ceremony site. The bouquet tabletop florals featured an exquisite blend of flowers: delicate lady slipper orchids with their intricate patterns, striking fritillaria flowers in deep purples, elegant hellebores in plum and chartreuse showcasing their rich and moody hues. To enhance the decor, we pulled in fruits such as soft golden gourds from the farm, luscious kiwis, green chayote, and exotic passion fruits. This added a lush, organic table that perfectly complemented the untamed beauty of the Welburn Gourd Farm setting.
Favorite Design Element
We subtly incorporated curves into our minimalist design, elevating its allure. From the natural contours of the gourds to the puffy sleeves and the sinuous jewelry by Crevette Design Studios, each element contributed to a cohesive aesthetic. The shape of the magnolia ceremony arch and the presence of grapes on the tabletop further reinforced this theme, adding depth and sophistication to the overall look.
Tips To Pull Off The Look
As a designer, my tip is to cultivate a strong vision for your project and stick to it. Define your aesthetic, theme, and goals clearly from the outset, and use them as guiding principles throughout the design process. Additionally, surround yourself with vendors and collaborators whom you trust and enjoy working with. Building a team of like-minded professionals who share your vision and values will not only streamline communication and execution but also enhance the overall creative experience and result in a more cohesive and successful outcome. Trust in your vision and your team, and let them bring your dream to life.
