I had the great pleasure to be part of such an amazing display of creative and artistic expression. The wedding of Tiffany and Ben was absolutely one for the records! It was breathtaking, beautiful, warm and inviting… It truly was a Wintry Oasis Wedding…
Tiffany & Ben selected the stunning Rancho Las Lomas for their beautiful day. Their ceremony took place in the lovely veranda which drew a unique feel to the atmosphere of the wedding, an event so enchanting, it was filled with love and devotion and most of all friendship. The spanish style architecture and domestic wild animals on the property made for a perfect pairing to the decor of the day: a rustic, yet elegant wintry oasis theme that showed up in various and creative ways. First in the amazing arch that adorned the stage where Tiffany and Ben exchanged their vows. The amazing and talented Larissa, from Inviting Occasion, used a mixture of yellow roses, red anemones, moss, ferns, and other blooms that were fitting to the couple’s outdoorsy lifestyle. Reverend Michael led a beautiful ceremony and Steve Carona strummed gorgeous melodies on his guitar…
Secondly, Larissa designed a darling sign for one of Tiffany’s nephews to carry before he walked down the aisle…
Another fun element to the day, was the wishing tree that took the place of your traditional guest book, where guests wrote well wishes to the couple and placed them on a marvelous manzanita tree…
Tiffany & Ben’s love of the outdoors was carried out through the centerpieces which were made with those same charming blooms and a fun surprise, hollowed logs. A mark of love, a heart with the couple’s initials T & B, was carved on the log that sat atop the king’s table where Tiffany and Ben sat to take in the rest of their evening. The yellow roses throughout the day were there to represent one of the most important parts of a marriage, the roots if you will, friendship.
Guests wined and dined all evening on the tasty and beautifully presented food by 24 Carrots. And then, they danced the night away to the tunes from Larry at Diamond DJ’s…
Tiffany & Ben’s darling cupcakes, by A Cake Design Studio, even carried out the woodsy theme with colorful flowers that were I’m sure as tasty as they looked. Indeed the day was brought to an end when the guests got to take home a tiny bottle of honey and a special blend of tea, the perfect blend.
We also need to mention Tiffany and Ben’s other FABULOUS VENDORS that helped to make the day so perfect: Josh & Michelle from Mi Belle Photography (all these ravishing pictures are courtesy of them… thanks you two!); Jamie Fetui for Hair/Makeup; Wayne at Special Parking Services; Blue Moon Limousines for transportation; and of course the Ayres Hotel for guest accommodations…
It was a wedding to remember… simply put, a Wintry Oasis Wedding! Thanks Tiffany & Ben for giving me the opportunity to share in your special day!!!! Many blessings to you both!
