Write-up by Jaime Schoen of Brides:

"Ashley and Ryan have both lived in the San Diego area most of their lives, but neither had been to the San Diego Botanic Garden until Ryan proposed and the pair started hunting for wedding venues. "I got goose bumps the first time we saw the Gazebo Lawn," says Ashley. And so it was settled: The couple started planning a wedding for October 10th, 2014 (just eight months after they got engaged!) and invited 100 guests to celebrate with them.

The couple dressed up the natural space with moody glamour, using soft shades of gray, gold, and pink and adding a fall feel with wine tones. The bride and her family took on DIY projects that ranged from building an altar out of vintage porch posts to dip-dying napkins and hand-making crepe paper flower escort cards."
