California Ranch Styled Shoot with Fall Foliage
The rolling golden hills of California in the fall set the scene for this elegant and down-to-earth shoot with event design by Ariana Batz and floral design by Michelle Lywood!
Reinstein Ranch proved to be the perfect place to bring these inspiring ideas to life with it's endless pastures rolling up towards a clear blue sky. Captured beautifully by wedding photographer, Jeff Brummett this is the stuff that wedding dreams are made of, you guys!
The itself landscape inspired the color palette for the shoot — hints of dusty blue and sunset-hued flowers in coral, salmon, and yellow stood out beautifully against the gold velvet of the hills.
The original concept came from marrying the rustic sophistication of Ralph Lauren with the rugged beauty of a California ranch.
Hints of the brand's preppy origin can be seen in the modern geometric print of the grand Kings Table, set with earthenware and gold-dipped marble details to tie in the natural setting.
And this gold flatware and gorgeous stationery? love it!
The golden leaves made for the prettiest contrast!
Meanwhile, floral designer Michelle Lywood added rich color to the table with late-summer roses and peonies nestled among trailing vines...
...set on chic blue and white patterned linens and hemstitched napkins from Napa Valley Linens, along with luxe place settings from Bright Event Rentals, and elegant furniture from Pleasanton Rentals.
The copper lanterns added a really sweet and charming touch...
