After meeting during their Senior year of high school, this bride and groom got engaged after ten years together. They had planned to go to Monterey for the groom's birthday and decided to stop for breakfast. As the bride-to-be pulled into the parking lot, she saw a huge sign that read, "Will you marry me?" and another sign with her name. All of their family members were there to celebrate after she - of course! - said yes. Keep scrolling to hear about how their luxury wedding day at Richards Ranch came together with the help of TLC Event Coordination and photographed by Shannon Lea Rock of Preserve Studio.
Before donning her wedding dress that began as an off-the-shoulder fitted gown and transformed into a strapless dress for the reception, the bride began the day in a classic black silk slip to get ready. The groom wore a black shirt and white jacket to bring a bit of unexpected (but still classic) attire to the event.
The bride's classic white and greenery bouquet by Rosemarry & Vine featured stunning draping of thick off-white ribbon that served as a luxurious accent against her stark white dress.
The bridesmaids donned black silk dresses that complemented the luxe vibe, black and white decor, and pop-of-white bridesmaid bouquets.
The bride and groom took part in two ceremonies: one a religious ceremony, and the other a ceremony on the venue's property. The same white floral design by Rosemarry & Vine stood out at both, with arrangements that allowed the ceremony space to shine, whether indoors or out.
