We could have dance all night too at this magical garden chic wedding which took place at the Arroyo
Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, CA. The garden like setting made for a picture perfect outdoor wedding and reception filled with colorful florals, pops of gold and overhead bistro lighting. 

Have we gushed over the flowers yet?! 
Flower Allie created a magical atmosphere with colorful blooms in shades of hot pink, maroon and blush. We can’t get enough of this pretty day captured by the talented
Brett Hickman Photography, so be sure to check out the full gallery

How they met

Born four years apart at the same hospital in Orange County, Ashley & Kurt met 30 years later after being set up by mutual friends on a blind date. After a great first date in Laguna Beach, the couple knew they had found something special. After dating for only 9 months, Kurt proposed to Ashley outside of the same Laguna Beach restaurant where they had first met.
