McCormick Home Ranch Wedding by Sandra Pan

November 20th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 35 comments

This wedding is SO Style Me Pretty. It’s simple, subtle, totally elegant. The color palette is soft and muted, the flowers are off the charts gorgeous and the bride and groom, well…probably should be models. Sandra Pan snapped the lovely photographs and you can tell that she put her heart and soul into each image. It’s pretty obvious that she fell madly in love with this couple and wanted to really show the pure joy behind the day.

Kristin and Joe tied the knot this past September at McCormick Ranch in Southern California. Here is a cute little note from the Sandra, the photographer, that gives you a window into this couple’s life…

Kristin and Joe hold strong values and have close knit family and friends and it showed throughout the wedding.. I love this wedding particularly because Kristin and Joe wanted to make every guest feel extra special by using vintage plates purchased through ebay, swap meets, flee markets.. Kristin and her mom and aunt took 2 montths trying to find these plates..they bought over 200 + plates! Click here to see Sandra’s Blog posts and the gorgeous vintage plates.

    Thank You! It looks extra gorgeous on SMP! I love your thoughts, always a joy to read, i feel so honored!

  2. Jess says:

    Does anyone know where people are finding these old door frames? I have been looking (e-bay, flea markets) and am not having any luck. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated! I guess it may just be a matter of luck of stumbling across one. This wedding is gorgeous by the way, I am in love with the bride's dress!

  3. Jenny says:

    I second that about the dress! Any info on the name of the dress or style number?

  4. Kristin says:

    Jess, if you don't have an old door, make one! The one we used looked perfectly new until my dad distressed it, sanded it, and stained it. I bought a knob at anthropologie on sale, and just like that, you have an old door!

  5. I LOVE the standing little house for cards, how cute is that!?

  6. Kristin says:

    The dress is Vera Wang. Not sure of the style number.

  7. Jess says:

    Thanks Kristin, I never thought of that, what a simple solution!

  8. stephanie arias says:

    Nice to see Vera dresses that are not the typical poofy style! This bride's is the best Vera I have seen in years! Congratulations on a gorgeous wedding and the pictures are to die for :)

  9. Heather says:

    These photographs are so fresh! The couple looks completely relaxed, overjoyed and in love. So beautiful.

  10. Katie says:

    The link doesn't work for seeing the plates. I'd love to see if someone has the link!

  11. This is such a beautiful wedding.

  12. Lauren says:

    I love your earrings!!! Where are they from?

  13. Chelsea says:

    Your wedding pictures are beautiful and I absoutly adore that kissing booth sign!
    I was wondering if you still have the vintage dishes you used. I am doing the same thing with my dinner dishes! My grandmother hand painted a set of eight for me as a wedding gift so I decided to use them as well as any other vintage dishes I could find mixed in at my reception dinner- my mother thought I was crazy so I'm really glad to show her you did the same thing...If you are interested in selling the ones you have please let me know. My email is chelsea_and_brandon@live.com. I am still short about twenty place settings. Thank you!

  14. This wedding is so beautiful! I love the bridesmaid dresses with those bouquets.

  15. Cassandra says:

    I am an avid vintage dinnerware collector and obsessed thrift shopper and had the same idea for my wedding. I thought it was an completely original idea and showcased my personality and obsession perfectly. Then I started reading all these wedding blogs and find out that I'm not the only one to do this!!! Honestly, it totally pissed me off, but then I realized it's not like any of my guests will ever go to another wedding that's done it, or probably have never even seen it done before. So I've come to terms with it. My plates are being purchased at thrift stores then donated back after the wedding.

  16. Please tell me that last "thank you" picture is for your thank you cards..... Love the Blue menus on Sandra's blog mixed with the dinnerware. Stunning!

  17. April says:

    Oooh I love the kissing booth corner, very romantic! Such a unique and fun idea. I also found the bride's wedding dress simply beautiful matched with her lovely white bouquet. Great Job!!!

  19. Kristin says:

    Sorry Chelsea, not selling our china. Keeping some and friends are borrowing for their own weddings in the spring. Good luck with the rest of your search!

    Earrings are from J Crew.

    Thanks all for your sweet words. It was such a happy day!

  22. Freya says:

    Kristen you look absolutely beautiful, what a stunning wedding! Im from Australia and was wondering where you purchased your Vera Wang dress from? Flagship store?Did the dress itself have a name? I may have to take a trip to the US! Congratulations......

  23. Kristin says:

    Lori, we made the white luminarias ourselves, courtesy of Martha. See the directions here...http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/article/lacy-luminarias

    Freya and Jenny, the style number of the Vera Wang dress is #12087. I purchased it at The White Dress in Corona Del Mar, CA.
