Chic, Down Home Wedding

July 31st. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 38 comments

Today’s first wedding is total charm. The bride’s big sister actually submitted it to Style Me Pretty, which is so super cute, as she was so blown away by the chic, DIY touches and charming home-grown feel that the gorgeous bride and groom infused.  Held in Spanish Oaks Ranch in Santa Margarita, CA, you guys are going to love this one!

From Emily, the brides sister…

My sister, Aly, and her fiance are both teachers, so they wanted to use elements like apples and chalkboards in their decor.  Aly wanted the vibe to be casual yet elegant…it was a ranch-style setting amongst huge oak trees and rolling hills, complete with a barn, lake, and grassy knolls.  The color scheme: black and white and granny-apple green, very chic, and was balanced by some “down-home” elements like mason jars filled with flowers and candles, mini burgers and a french fry bar (sweet potato fries, garlic fries, blue cheese fries and regular fries to be exact – yum!), even fresh baked apple-shaped cookie favors (made by our grandma and sister Annie!).

So much more to come!

PS…Dress is Vera, waiting on info about those cute shoes!

    SHOES! I must have those midnight blue shoes!!!!

  15. Amy says:

    PS Only us brides and brides to be could call that midnight blue! To everyone else, my colour scheme is navy and orange - to me, it's 'inky, midnight blue and rusty, burnt orange'!!

    I got those shoes in black at Nordstroms, they are by Me Too. I'm not sure if they're the exact same ones but they look like it!

  18. Liz says:

    The shoes are the Jeannette style - I bought them a few months ago and love them! They come in champagne which goes lovely with an ivory dress.

  19. Lindsay says:

    Wow!! Stunning! Where did this event take place? Gorgeous!

  20. Lindsay says:

    Sorry! nevermind. I know see where it was held. Still stunning!!

  21. Gretchen says:

    I don't think that the shoes are Jeanette by Me Too. The Me Too shoes don't come in blue and don't have the slightly scalloped detail on the side straps. Now, I'm obsessed with finding them!

  22. Lizzy says:

    I need those shoes!

  23. Tegan says:

    I'd love to see a DIY on those moss letters too!!! Beautiful, beautiful wedding. Can't wait to see more!

  24. Jackie says:

    Hi, I have to have those moss letters!!!! Would the bride be willing to sell hers if she still has them? It just so happens that I need a J and an A myself! Please contact me at jboerschig@gmail.com if willing to sell!! Thanks!

  25. Sandra says:

    Would be great if the Bride could provide a DIY for the moss letters : )

  26. Ok, I'm in love with those shoes. But also a very beautiful wedding.

  27. Kristi A says:

    I NEED those shoes! What/where/how???

  28. Meghan says:

    Here are the shoes in a whole slew of colors...and yes, they have the scalloped edge along the insole.

  29. Nancy says:

    Must have these shoes in midnight blue! I can't find them anywhere in that color. Help!

  30. emilyb says:

    Hi ladies,

    My sis got the shoes (Me Too) from Nordstrom. And yes they are the Jeanette style, BUT, bad news...they are black (not midnight blue)....I think its just the color/lighting in the image that makes them look blue. They were SUPER adorable in person though....and definitely come in a lot of colors :)

  31. Kait says:

    And where is the dress from? :)

  32. Kait says:

    Ahh, it's Vera...I should have read the info. Sorry!

  33. Kristi A says:

    Thanks Emily I was checking obsessively to find out about those shoes, now I can rest! ; )

  34. ali says:

  35. Lauren says:

  36. Kevin Burke says:

    My wife (of 2 days) and me got married Saturday at Chart House. We had www.happychuppah.com put up a chocolate bamboo wedding canopy. It turned out great!

  37. Bea Swiantek says:
