Real Wedding Shenanigans: Sara & Benjamin

Sara and Ben chose to celebrate their love for one another in a beautiful outdoor ceremony and reception at Highlands Spring Ranch and Inn. Tucked away in Cherry Valley, the property sat on hundreds of acres, full of natural beauty. Known for its olive trees and lavender fields, it was no surprise that Sara and Ben wanted to incorporate these aspects into their wedding decor. For Sara and Ben, this rustic-themed wedding was magical, and we loved every part of it! So Smitten provided full service planning, design and day-of coordination.

Real Wedding Shenanigans: Yvonne & Evan

Yvonne and Evan's romantic day began with an intimate ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Following the exchange of vows, guests were directed towards an indoor cocktail hour where light appetizers and cocktails were enjoyed by many. During this time, Yvonne and Evan snuck away from their loved ones to capture memorable photos of the two of them outside. Rejoing their guests, the bride and groom danced their way into the reception to the beat of their favorite song, and the dancing didn't stop there! Cheers to Yvonne and Evan and a lifetime of happiness!
