REAL WEDDINGS

Whimsical & White

Grace + Alex

The Inn At Rancho Santa Fe

Grace had no idea that a springtime getaway to New York with a few friends and family would end up being one of the most important and romantic events of her life. Alex had planned on proposing to Grace on their last day amidst the beautiful and scenic Central Park. Walking through winding paths and sunlit gardens, Grace and Alex were suddenly all alone, just as planned. As the couple continued, they made their way to a charming little pond and an old wooden bench constructed from knotted oak branches, where Alex got down on one knee and proposed. Grace shares, “I love that he chose Central Park, as it will always be a place where we can visit forever.”

The couple desired a wedding celebration that reflected their love story—romantic, classic, elegant, and everlasting. Imagine a whimsical wedding of white florals and greens, cascading crystal lanterns, and twinkling lights under a starlit sky. Adjacent to an enchanted tree, beautifully situated in the center of lush and fragrant gardens, is where the ceremony was held. A corridor of white florals graced the edge of the walkway that led to the tree and enveloped the trunk, as if to say they had been flourishing there forever. Grace wore an exquisite white gown that flowed and even glistened in the sun’s light as she walked toward her groom. Alex was quite dashing in his classic black suit as he awaited his soon-to-be bride.

Under a streaming canopy of twinkle lights, the guests enjoyed a delectable feast. The tables were embellished with delicate white florals, candles, and gold-trimmed dishes as the guests enjoyed the fellowship of family and friends. The wedding cake, a showpiece of white tiers, was adorned with a delicate mixture of florals and greenery, perfectly arranged to represent the sweetness of the couple’s love for one another. As the evening drew to a close, the couple’s exit was nothing short of incredible! With dancing, props, and late-night snacks, the guests were entertained by Grace’s cousin, an award-winning opera tenor. The night ended with a champagne toast to the couple’s future. Their wedding celebration was only the beginning of their lifelong adventure together.
