Sara + Andrew 9.12.09

We are so grooving on these pics from Chloe, over at Mike Larson Inc.  So many fun things about this wedding that we really loved - Sara, the fabulous bride being a major one.  Santa Margarita Ranch has become one of our favorite venues in the last two years - the possibilities for making it truly personal are endless.  All ambient lighting (a must at the Ranch) provided by Kramer Entertainment & Lighting.

Sara definitely wanted some traditional elements - like soft muted and robust petaled blooms, but she definitely was into giving things a twist to make it her own and we just can't get enough of that sort of thang!  Andrew's last name is Berry - so we knew that little clusters of blush hued berries were a must.  Fluffy little white feathers were added into the bride and groom's flowers and velvety moss balls with clusters of blooms were incorporated down the the aisle.  In an effort to stretch the budget, we reset these elements to as centerpieces on some of the tables in the historic barn, atop large silver cups.  Unique and totally fun.  The rest of the centerpieces were massed greens and white orchids set in silver candelabras adorned with crystals.  This contrast between fun and elegant was a consistent ribbon of style woven through the day and is so reflective of the bride and groom.  So hard to tell from these gorgeous photos -but Sara is a dirt bike racing diva in her spare time!
