Timeless California Wedding with custom designer gown

May 13, 2022

Sydney and Dean had the most timeless California Wedding on a wide open Ranch by the river. The green grass and oak trees stretched out around us and soft sunlight trickled down from a hazy sky. These two were the essence of calm on their wedding day. Everything they did was slow and thoughtful, and they were fully present for all of it. This is the way a wedding should be.

Sydney had her wedding gown designed by the talented designer Marc Bouwer. She went all the way to New York to get the gown made by him, and it fit her like a glove. She completed the look with dangling earrings and a timeless veil. Sydney is everything kind, elegant, and graceful. She looked like an absolute angel! Dean wore a classic dark green suit with a Gucci bow tie. These two couldn’t have been more timeless together.

The day started with the couple getting ready with their close friends and family. They chose to wait to see each other until the ceremony, and it was such an emotional moment for everyone. Following the ceremony, the guests enjoyed cocktails and appetizers under the oak trees. After cocktail hour, there was a champagne tower, dinner, emotion-filled speeches, and plenty of dancing.

Sydney chose to incorporate a timeless design with neutral, elegant florals, black chairs, and gold flatware. The ceremony setup was reminiscent of the French countryside. Everything about the day was soft and elegant. I was blown away by the kindness and trust shown to me throughout this day. I felt as though Sydney and Dean truly trusted me as an artist, and made me feel so welcomed into their community. These two and their wonderful wedding will forever be dear to my heart! I can only hope for another timeless California wedding like this one 🙂
