An Elegant & Colorful Garden Party Wedding at Dream Point Ranch
The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision
The overall design of Victoria and Zach’s wedding is a stunning blend of elegance and charm, with a focus on delicate pastels and natural beauty. The floral arrangements are a highlight, featuring a mix of soft pinks, yellows, whites, and peach hues, creating a romantic and fresh atmosphere. The ceremony arch is beautifully adorned with abundant flowers, perfectly framing the scenic outdoor backdrop.
The reception area maintains this airy and elegant theme with white tablecloths, white Chiavari chairs, and greenery hanging from the ceiling, adding a touch of natural sophistication. The tables are set with light blue napkins and vibrant blue glassware, which adds a subtle pop of color against the predominantly white decor. The overall ambiance is both inviting and enchanting, making for a truly memorable celebration.
Proposal Story
From Victoria: "Zach and I love to spend our time outside in whatever ways we can. Most of the time that includes hiking anywhere local, especially at Turkey Mountain. The day started as any other day, heading to Turkey Mountain to go on one of our hikes. Although, Zach had something a little bit more special planned for this hike and he did an amazing job at hiding it and making sure that it totally took me by surprise. At the end of our hike he proposed to me and surprised me with all of our family there to celebrate with after he got down on one knee. It is such a special memory to look back on every time we end up at Turkey Mountain on another hike. It feels even more special as our wedding ceremony took place on a mountain with a view, and our honeymoon was through multiple different mountainous National Parks. Very full circle story!"

Special Detail #2
From Victoria: "Dream Point Ranch was the first venue we toured and we knew it was the one. My wedding dress was the first dress that I tried on and from that moment I knew nothing was going to come close to that feeling I had when I first put it on my body. Zach was also my first serious relationship and we said I love you to each other less than two weeks in. When you know you know!!"
Special Detail #3
From Victoria: "We knew we wanted the wedding to be super playful and we accomplished that with pushing boundaries with the colors for our wedding. We had a very unique bridal party attire, with them wearing different styles of dresses as well as different colors and lengths. We also had the most amazing florist who really outdid herself with all the flowers for the entire day but especially with our arch we had at the alter during our ceremony which also followed us inside to be placed behind us during the reception. Lastly, it was so fun to play around at the rentals showroom with different colored linens, napkins, and glasses. The wonderful vendors really did such a great job at allowing us to see our vision come to life."
