I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the color yellow or the fabulous combination of sunshine and beauty it has the ability to bring to each and every wedding it meets. Nope, never. And when you merge the perfectly cheery hue with the gorgeous stylings of We See Rainbows, a charming sweets table, one very breathtaking Southern California setting (A walnut grove!) and a crazy cool lemonade stand, it’s almost too perfect for words. Thankfully, Gina Cella Photography was on hand to capture all of the happy and there is an entire gallery of brilliant images just waiting to brighten your Monday. Join me there for even more!

From Gina Cella Photography… The wedding couldn’t have been more perfect. It was like a fairytale. Set in a walnut grove in the hills of Southern California. The sunlight made for a perfect ceremony, and the sunset created an enchanted glow for a beautiful reception. The location was about 45 miles northwest of Los Angeles at Tierra Rejada Ranch, a Walnut Grove in Moorpark, CA.
The ceremony was quaint with cute white chairs in rows in the grass overlooking rows of walnut trees.
Every moment was perfect, the bright light in the early day was wonderful, and the harvest light in the evening slowly went down making the dance floor illuminate with help from the cafe lights strung over the reception area.
Its fun to see such a casual setting so dressed up. Ashley had help from her friend Alex Michael May who is breaking out in weddings and events. She did an amazing job with the yellow and gray color scheme. Everything from the rustic lemonade bar, to the adorable sweets table, was all her.
The bride was the most calm and cheerful bride I’ve ever worked with. Her dress was a sweetheart neckline, empire waist, and flowing. She wore a flower in her hair made by her friend Alex Michael May. The groom, who came from a very large family (some traveled from Mexico for the wedding day) was an extremely attentive and warm person. They met each other at their work years ago, and have been inseparable ever since. I got to know them quite well after shooting their engagement photos. They seemed truly relaxed and at peace at their wedding. Such a fab couple.
The light was perfect (although…coming from Chicago, every day here in California seems to be picture perfect for a wedding), everyone was having the time of their lives dancing and going gaga over the treats, the lemonade bar, and the corner photo booth with costumes to pick from. Their wedding day seemed like fairytale, and at times I forgot I was even working. Even I was smiling ear to ear. It was impossible not to!

Love the lemonade stand! The canning Jars add a great touch!
I just happed upon this site and I love it so much! This is such a cute wedding. Casual and sophisticated at once. Beautiful bride. Love the homemade touches. But wondering, is We See Rainbows a brand or a wedding planning company? Can I buy custom cake toppers or decor? Do you ship outside cali? thanks!
this is cool, I like that this wedding seems DIY and outside the box. the place is simple and it looks nice with just a little bit of decoration. where can I buy this stuff? I'm getting married in October.
Thanks for all the sweet posts! Gina and Alex were truly wonderful to work with. Gina is an absolute natural; she was fun but professional the day of the wedding and obviously her pictures turned out great. Alex has so many ideas and so much raw talent. That woman is capable of pretty much anything! When we first met I told her the venue was beautiful and that I wanted to keep the natural feel. Then I told her my favorite color was yellow. As I sat at the head table during the reception I looked out a gorgeous twinkling yellow setting that more my dream wedding than I ever dreamed!
The invitations were purchased from the etsy seller InvitingMoments.
SJ and Christine - We See Rainbows is capable of all sorts of things! The brilliance behind the brand is Alex, she can be reached via her website weseerainbows.com
Your wedding is so beautiful! Excellent job! I love the tree centerpieces where did you get them?
Thanks for all the wonderful comments! <3
thanks for the love, everyone! :) kelly- we made them custom. where do you live? I may be able to point you in the right direction depending, but we got the supplies in downtown LA.
I live in New Hampshire, not so close to to LA. Bummer, but I would love any suggestions you might have to make them. They are so neat!
