A Fall Harvest Wedding

We're in serious Turkey mode, so it's only fitting that we ring in Thanksgiving with this richly-hued real wedding, complete with fall's must-have accessory: pumpkins. Nancy and Chris tied the knot at one of our favorite locations in Rancho Palos Verdes, Catalina View Gardens. The secret spot is tucked in the mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean complete with rocky outcrops and vineyards. Choosing this spot was a no-brainer for Nancy as her parents own the gorgeous venue.

The couple said I do underneath an arbor bursting with florals in Autumn shades of yellow, orange and red. A tangle of greenery added romance while an assortment of pumpkins added the perfect touch of fall to the both the ceremony setting,  escort cards, reception tables and even the custom brew bar served up Dogfish Head Punkin' Ale. We love their unique guest book--stones that guests signed and dropped in a vessel to create both a keepsake and unique decor item for their home. Dinner was served next to Catalina View Garden's gorgeous fireplace and the night ended with dancing underneath stars.
