Fall Wedding Inspiration at beautiful Carmel Valley

For the love of all Fall things. Bringing back this incredible fall design to celebrate the start of my favorite time of the year.

If you love fall as much as I do , this is a perfect inspiration for you event. Shoot in the beautiful Gardener Ranch in Carmel Valley, California .

This shoot was a inspired by all the colors of an Autumn sunset.
We focused on all things sun and the ombre tones that radiait from it on an autumn day. We used hand dyed cloth to emphasize the sun's rays in our alter. In front of the alter is a sunset petal arrangement with ghost chairs for guests from Chic Events

Golden lanterns hang above the table with a middle one representing the sun. The leather place cards have the same hand dyed cloth woven through the top with beautiful handwriting by The Crafting Casa.
The invitation suite is a mix of leather, linen fabric and textured paper by Elyse Stirton.
A custom jeans jacket with a beautiful handmade leather sun detail.

The dress is a Bohemian style with bells from Carmel best bridal boutique Epiphany Boutique design by Watters , two flower girls each with a different head piece. One with a flower crown and the other with a sun crown. Head pieces from Heds Threads

The incredible bouquet and the all the florals on the table were designed to fade from one color to the next similar to that of a sunset created by the one and only Willow and Plum .

A little about our inspiration behind the flowers:

As the inspiration behind the photoshoot was ‘sunset’ we wanted to mimic the spectrum of colors of a sunset in beautiful flowers. Sunsets move from light romantic hues to dark tones—perfect for a fall wedding. Each flower element, the bridal bouquet, the table centerpieces, and the spread of flower petals at the ceremony contained that spectrum of colors seen in a beautiful sunset. We chose a selection of seasonally available flowers including ioli, toffee, and cinnamon roses, and mixed them with chocolate cymbidium orchids, bronze spider mums and fall foliage including autumn eucalyptus and nandina. This palette offered us the opportunity to arrange the flowers from light to dark and we love the ombré feeling that provided. In a single bridal bouquet the effect is stunning, seen from each side the bouquet is either light and romantic or dark and moody, and when viewed from the front the orange-toned cinnamon roses were the perfect color to bring those hues together to create something visually magical. The table centerpieces also mimic this idea but in separate vessels—something not typically done but it’s such a lovely idea and we hope it catches on! ;-)

It’s so much fun to take artistic leaps with flowers and we love working with couples who are as daring as we can be. The large table centerpiece contains the full spectrum of colors and the chandelier above it represented the sun with those yellow pincushion protea suspended within.
