We love a ranch style wedding complete with wild flower wedding arrangements, good company and of course tasty fresh pies. We are seeing more and more fresh pies in lieu of the traditional wedding cake. No matter which direction, the results will both be yummy. A special hug and kiss to Cameron Ingalls who shared with us this San Luis Obispo, California ranch wedding. Taking place at a somewhat new reception venue in the central coast, Holland Ranch. Read on to find to learn more about the bride’s vision for her special day.
From The Bride:
We wanted our wedding to have a western feel with a little bit of a hippie vibe thrown in. We envisioned a casual atmosphere where we are dancing, drinking, eating, and making merry with all of our closest friends and family. Both Matt and I wore cowboy boots and the night included lots and lots of line dancing. My mother passed away in June 2006, and, to honor her memory, I wore my mother’s wedding dress when I walked down the aisle (surprisingly, the dress fits like a glove and did not require alterations even after all these years!) I changed dresses between the ceremony and reception to avoid spilling tri-tip and/or cherry pie on something with so much sentimental value. Instead of cake at the ceremony, pie was served: cherry (the bride’s favorite) and apple (the groom’s). The pie topper was just two little toys that represented us in a funny way.

beautiful wedding! dying to know where you got your bridesmaids dresses??
hi everyone! thank you so much for the nice comments–i’m glad you like how our wedding turned out, we sure did! :) to answer your questions… the bridesmaid dresses are from anthropologie and the invitations are from magnetstreet.com (who also did a great job on our save-the-dates–they rock!) if you are looking for awesome wedding programs, i would also recommend wiregrassweddings.com. they made the fan-style programs in seriously a week and didn’t charge extra to expedite shipping.
Cameron this looks great!! It was nice to meet you and your wife and Jose’s b-day party. take care
I love your invitations! Where did you get them from? Thanks & congrats!
I love that she had two dresses so that she didnt spill anything on her mother’s! Just a beautiful wedding all round, so sweet!
I absolutely adore this outdoor wedding… and of coruse, the dress, because I wore the same one at my wedding! Only 2 months ago I became happily married in that beautiful gown. Ah.
Beautiful wedding! I am getting married on a ranch in the Spring- where did you get those bridesmaid dresses? That is the exact color I am looking for!
I love the idea of the two dresses — sounds like it was perfect. Beautiful day, guys!
