Rustic Nestldown Wedding: DIY Details in the Santa Cruz Redwoods

Nestldown is located in the redwoods on acres of lushly landscaped property.  This exceptional wedding venue is located just minutes away from the heart of the Silicon Valley in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is pretty much the ideal location for a rustic wedding. Mark and Afton loved this wedding venue so much that they sacrificed other wedding splurges in order to have their wedding here. Yep - it's that good.
Since most of their budget was spent on the venue,  the decor and details were diy. The bride goes into more detail here about her planning process and of course the bow on the back of her dress. Be sure to see more Rustic Purple Wedding Ideas in the full wedding gallery. All of this prettiness was captured by Christina Diane Weddings.
