Holland Ranch


Megan and Matthew are two wonderful people, whose families have been through some hard times recently. But everyone came together to celebrate their love, their future, and the precious gift of life!
Holland Ranch in San Luis Obispo was the perfect backdrop for their celebration! It is an unbelievable location- run by a very kind family!



Megan's bouquet: a very colorful collection of red gerbers, purple lisianthus, blue delphinium, orange asiatic lilies, purple freesia, and circus roses.
   
Our favorite features: Megan's Grandmother's necklace as her "something old" and the fabulous circus roses that look like a sunset!

   
         Grandma's wristlet            The bridesmaids bouquet

The flower girl's basket


The groom's boutonniere &     the groomsmen's boutonniere
   
The aisle flowers included simple clusters of orange lilies, scalloped ribbon, and multi-colored petals.




The ceremony flowers included a foliage garland with colorful flower clusters, and 5 white clusters at the top to represent cherished family members who have recently passed on. There were also 3 potted plants on either end of the arch...but honestly, this stage doesn't need much embellishment- the star of the show is truly the amazing view! Don't you agree?!

All of those clusters later did double duty as centerpieces!

Everything at this wedding worked twice: the garland and plants served as stage decor with the aisle lilies...



..... and another piece of garland and plant decorated an empty shelf!

              This beautiful 3 tier cake is a creation by Lauren & Two Little Birds Bakery in Paso Robles and once Festive Designs added flowers to it....it was a show-stopper!



We hope this cake was a sweet ending to a magical day!
(and we're pretty sure it was, Lauren told me the top two layers were Kahlua flavored! Yum!)
