From the Bride… After visiting at Tiber Canyon Ranch for the first time, we fell in love with the location and knew that it had to be our venue. We loved the openness and vintage touches throughout and also knew we wanted our wedding to have a soft, romantic vintage feel.  We wanted it to be small and intimate and a time for us to have all the people we love come together and celebrate our love for each other.

My favorite memory of the day was when I first caught eyes with Matt when I was walking down the aisle. I was so afraid of tripping and was so nervous to walk down the steps, but when I caught eyes with him I truly felt a sense of relief and the confidence I needed. I know all I had to do was look at him and everything was going to be okay. It was truly a magical feeling I will never forget. If I could pick a 2nd favorite memory it would be the dinner. It was so important to Matt and I to have a really good dinner and have it served family style where everyone could sit together. Being able to sit back with my husband and take time during dinner and see all the planning come together was an amazing feeling.

The only advice I would give to planning-brides is to do your research and ask around for ideas and opinions of different vendors. We saved a lot by borrowing things from friends and family to use at the wedding instead of renting or buying it. I was on the internet all the time looking for good deals, finding inspiration and trying to find out how I could make something instead of buying it. There are tons of free templates online that can be used and it is so much fun to get together with family and friends and be able to put your own touch on them. The memories I have from the planning and crafting I did with my mom, friends and family are memories I will never forget and were such a fun part of the planning process.

   Beautiful!! Amazing dress and flowers. Where were the bridesmaid dresses from? And did you buy the table numbers or DIY? I've been searching for paper that looks like wood.

   http://www.boldentertainment.biz " rel="nofollow">Destination Weddings have become reachable to even more couples looking to add an "exotic twist" to their special ceremony. The wedding can be turned into a cherished and unforgettable “mini-vacation” for groom and bride as well as for their guests. It usually cost less than the traditional wedding you can be save almost $20,000 if a destination wedding is properly planned and designed.

    Mbaker92....Yes the bridesmaid dresses are from Express :) and we got the table numbers off of Etsy and then put corks on them. They are actually really thin pieces of plywood and would be super easy to do yourself too!
    Tara, I got the hair piece off of Etsy too from StudioWedbyMirela. She was awesome to work with and made some custom changes to it for me. God luck :)

    I love how Sarah Kathleen captured the not-so-noticable but enchanting details in her images of this wedding. Her artist's eye is a gift and she uses it flawlessly. I would hang the photo of the candlestick and flowers in my home. It's so romantic and yet not "foo-foo" as my husband would say. Bravo, S.K. Photography for another outstanding wedding.

    lovely! where did you get the candleabra with non flame candles from? I am looking for some great alternatives to real candles which arent allowed in our venue.
