Southern California Wedding Venue: Orella Ranch Wedding With a View

Share

Photography by: Joielala Photographie About the Venue:
What a magnificent view! Picture having your wedding ceremony atop a coastal bluff near Santa Barbara. The whitewashed sand of the beach sits below you, and your guests look out towards the horizon where the sun meets the ocean. This breathtakingly stunning scene is only one of the many options you have when you are planning your wedding at Orella Ranch near Santa Barbara. The ranch is acres of coast land with amazing ancient live oak trees, open pastures, views of the channel islands, and the Santa Ynez mountains.
Ask the Expert:
There is nothing your guests will enjoy more than a laid-back and relaxed atmosphere at your wedding celebration. I love how this gorgeous couple used a little creative thinking to turn their modern day “ranch” wedding into a festive and personalized soiree. The graphic elements added to this design are wonderful.
The use of personalized signs is a great way to make sure that your wedding remains a reflection of you. Here they have used modern graphic elements infused with a more casual and DIY feel. The block type of the graphics look great as they are off-set and skewed to give them more interest. I love how the hand-crafted country heart is stylized into most of the elements, creating cohesion. The various graphics look like they are a set, but if you look closely, each one has a unique quality. They have achieved a great look without being too “matchy matchy” – brilliant!
