Southern California Wedding at Rancho Pavo Real

Inspired by the incredibly scenic Southern California landscape, this styled shoot at Rancho Pavo Real was so full of beauty. Grace and Gold Events coordinated this elegant editorial with lush blooms from All Things Extraordinary Events & Design. And with Michelle Lynn Weddings and Kerry McIntyre Photography behind the lens? Get ready for gorgeous!

The venue, Rancho Pavo Real, is actually a functioning avocado ranch. So you might be surprised to find out that you might encounter a few peacocks on the grounds. The presence of peacocks seemed to be such a unique addition to any wedding experience so it inspired hand-drawn peacock feather place cards and accents of peacock feathers in the floral arrangements.

The bride stunned in an elegant Blush by Hayley Paige gown featuring a Marrakesh beaded sweetheart bodice and a cascading tulle skirt — perfect for an upscale outdoor wedding. Her hair was styled with loose curls, and her makeup provided a natural, romantic look thanks to Beauty by Casey Lauren.

From the team,"The invitation suite used a color closely associated with peacocks — turquoise of course — to create an elegant yet modern look featuring calligraphy and deckled edges. The turquoise paired beautifully with a neutral desert inspired palette of blush, gray, and green."

"We couldn't forget the fact that this is an avocado ranch, so the groom wore an emerald green suit paired with a gray velvet bow tie, a white and turquoise hydrangea boutonnière and classic brown leather shoes."

Custom metal cathedral windows, from Enticing Tables, were a unique design element for the ceremony, giving the unrestricted outdoors a defined ceremony space while also allowing for a more traditional feel.

"The cathedral windows were adorned with a floral spray and a large bottle-style vase filled with towering white delphiniums at the base. Guest seating was comprised of wooden pew style benches."
