Romantic Mountain Top Wedding in California

Share

It doesn’t get more romantic than this! Lauren and Mark had a gorgeous wedding at Sacred Mountain in Julian, California. This private ranch location in the mountains was picture perfect for their intimate weekend long celebration with all of their friends and family. 

From their circle ceremony arbor to the rustic farm tables, their big day has so many swoon-worthy details it’s almost dizzying. Catch all the highlights below beautifully captured by Michelle Lillywhite Photography and don’t miss out on the full gallery after.

How they met

From Stylish Details: Mark and Lauren’s love story began at an unlikely place. They were both attending Austin City Limits Music Festival and had no idea that their lives were about to change forever when they met during the concerts. The two began dating shortly after and the rest is history! Their shared love for good music, tropical vacations, and great food were just a few of the things these two had in common. They are both two of the sweetest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet and it was a pleasure to plan their big day!

Sacred mountain wedding

They chose to tie the knot at Sacred Mountain, a private ranch located at the top of a hill in charming Julian, CA. Mark and Lauren wanted a location where their friends and family could stay on site the night before and the night of the wedding. The venue has several charming cottages where guests can feel at home during the wedding weekend.

Romantic + intimate

Lauren’s vision was to create a romantic and intimate feel for all of their guests. With jewel tone florals executed to perfection by Emily with Urban Garden Floral and farmhouse tables by Cedar and Pine, the scene was set for a gorgeous wedding in the mountains. It was the little details that made the day extra special!

Fun details

It was the little details that made the day extra special! Both Mark and Lauren love coffee so they had a custom espresso station by Cappuccino on Call. They even had a custom sign we ordered from etsy that said “Our Love is Brewing”, which was such a cute touch! They also served all different flavors of La Croix at the bar, how fun is that??
