When Kelly and Jeff planned their gorgeous fall wedding at Gardner Ranch, they wanted to work with the natural beauty of the venue to make their vision of a modern rustic wedding a reality with the help of Opihi Love Wedding and Events.
With soft hues of blush, white and deep red, you’ll love how simple yet elegant it all turned out. So take note brides, because this wedding has lots of beautiful ideas you can easily recreate for your big day below. Plus check out the full gallery beautifully captured by Lilly Red Creative.
Rustic modern elegance
From Lilly Red Creative: Gardner Ranch already offered such a gorgeous backdrop for the wedding, we wanted to work with the organic beauty of it- and not try to compete with it. Kelly loved the combination of modern, elegance, and a touch of rustic. Her arch was literally the branches of the trees {which formed a perfect arch over her + jeff} Della was able to add touches of flowers to the branches + hanging geometric shaped vessels with candles for a modern touch.
Gorgeous details
Having a mixture of seasonal flowers, with the soft touches of blushes + whites- a hand-dyed linen table runner puddled onto the floor. The entire day was absolutely gorgeous- from the ceremony to the poolside cocktail hour- dinner reception of paella- and of course the silent disco!
Choose your 3 “must-haves”
From the bride: Both of you should pick your top 3 “must-haves”. Agree to make them happen but also agree to let other “wants” go. You are going to want everything you see on Pinterest but if you don’t want to double your budget, you have to constantly remind yourself of your must-haves and anything else is just a new want. For me, I HAD to have a silent disco, a venue where people could stay on property, and a videographer. As you can see there are zero pictures of our silent disco because I had to let go of my “want” to hire our videographer and photographer another 2 hours each!
