Soft Draping and Chartreuse Hues Mark Modern Wedding Day with Night Club Inspired After Party at The Sea Ranch Lodge

Some say yoga unites the mind, body and spirit, and when Caroline “Caro” met Teresa at a yoga studio, their souls found each other. Their wedding weekend at The Sea Ranch Lodge was a reflection of their life together: wild coastline and serene interiors with community at the center. Thursday kicked off at the Chef ’s Table with immediate family; Teresa wore her mother’s wedding dress while Caro captured the evening on film. Friday’s courtyard welcome felt like a mini vacation: tacos, margaritas and non-alcoholic palomas. Saturday morning began with a grounding yoga class led by a dear friend for more than a hundred loved ones—a nod to the practice that threads through their relationship. The wedding day design took cues from the land with a menu of fruit-forward tablescapes, soft draping, filtered sunlight, meadowy wildflowers and a palette of yellow, chartreuse and cream. “We wanted it to feel like us—wild, tender, natural, juicy, fruity (in a gay way) and free,” says Caro. Every detail reflected their values, from queer and women-owned vendors to Sea Ranch’s farm-to-table, low-to-zero-waste ethos, and intimate love notes tucked at each of the 165 guests’ seats. They also forged a new family name—Rosecliff, a portmanteau of Caro and Teresa—that felt as organic as the scenery surrounding their nuptials. After dark, the celebration flipped to queer-nightclub energy: red lighting, a shimmering disco ball and a decadent dessert spread of three-tiered cakes, chocolate truffles, cherries and berries, giving way to a full-tilt celebration.
