Okay, when we saw this magical wedding inspo we immediately knew we wanted to feature it in our 2025 Stylist Magazine! The styling, the details, the fashion it all is just so EPIC!
The shoot was at the Rancho Valencia Resort + Spa in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. This resort is one of those unique places that make you feel like you are in a different world with their dreamy gardens, stunning architecture, and amazing accommodations.
The ceremony was set up on the lush green grass overlooking trees and gardens. A giant whimsical white floral arch that took our breath away. We love the vintage-feeling cane chairs that made the whole moment seem like it was plucked straight out of the Secret Garden novel. Plus, how amazing were those floor floral creations that lined the aisle?!
The reception was inside the grand ballroom, and it almost had a Bridgerton feel to it. We love the floral linens on the tables and the second style of cane chairs to bring out some warmth to the space. The tables were adorned with the same lush floral creations as the ceremony to keep things vibing from start to finish.
For the ceremony the bride wore a romantic white A-line gown with three-dimensional floral appliques cascading down the dress. We loved that she kept her look soft and dreamy with loose waves and elegant but radiant makeup. Later the bride switched into the cool and chic short gown with an off-the-shoulder detail that was perfect for the pickleball courts! The groom rocked our latest addition to our Michael Kors Performance line: the Black Peak Lapel Tuxedo. What we love about this look is that it is classic in design but modern in style and fit. Plus the performance fabric will keep this groom calm, cool, and collected from the ceremony to the dancefloor!
