California Elegance at Quail Ranch

Among the citrus and avocado orchards at Quail Ranch, Ivy Henderson and Scott Sandler threw a classically Californian wedding to celebrate with their nearest and dearest. A fifth-generation Golden State local, Ivy scoured Ventura County for the most quintessentially West Coast location, ultimately selecting Quail Ranch for its Spanish architecture, towering oaks and lush gardens. The couple opted to keep their design clean and elegant, allowing the natural beauty of the landscape to shine. Planner Brooke Heflin of Burlap & Bordeaux brought their vision to life, creating a black-tie garden-party atmosphere with green and white florals, clean white linens and black Chiavari chairs. White garden roses, imported roses, ranunculus, spray roses, Italian ruscus, hydrangea and magnolia greens were all sprinkled throughout the design. Ivy’s favorite touch was the white aisle, which was brought in especially for them and lined with stunning blooms that transformed the ceremony space. Scott’s Jewish traditions merged with Ivy’s Scottish heritage, with the playing of bagpipes for the recessional and the dancing of the horah at the reception. Thanks to live tunes from Ben Mallare Entertainment, the sense of celebration continued as Ivy and Scott danced the night away, ready to begin the rest of their lives together.
