Romantic Oyster Ridge Wedding

As a Central Coast Wedding Planner, I had the absolute delight of planning Taylor and Brendan’s wedding. Their day beautifully reflected their deep love, strong family bonds, and shared passion for adventure. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of San Luis Obispo, their wedding was truly magical.

A Reception to Remember at Oyster Ridge

After the heartfelt ceremony, guests made their way to Oyster Ridge for the reception. Nestled between mountains and vineyards on a historic California ranch, Oyster Ridge is a hidden gem. Its rustic charm and picturesque views were the perfect complement to Taylor and Brendan’s vision for their special day.

Thoughtful Details and Handcrafted Touches

Taylor and Brendan’s wedding was truly a handcrafted affair, with every detail thoughtfully curated to reflect their love story. A handcrafted bar, built by Taylor’s grandfather, became a centerpiece of the reception. The bride’s mother contributed by collecting various bud vases and vintage glasses, adding a touch of nostalgia and charm. The couple went the extra mile by sourcing floral print linen and crafting their own napkins, adding a personal touch that guests admired.

A Cheerful and Spring-Inspired Color Palette

The color palette of sage greens, burnt oranges, and dusty blues was inspired by the cheerful spirit of spring. The bridesmaids looked radiant in silk burnt orange dresses, while the groomsmen were dashing in neutral taupe suits. Taylor was a vision in a strapless gown with intricate floral details, complemented by a romantic floral cathedral veil. Brendan wore a sage green suit with their wedding date embroidered inside—a subtle yet meaningful detail.

A Day Full of Special Moments

The wedding day was blessed with clear skies and sunshine, reflecting the high energy and excitement shared by everyone present. One of the most touching moments was the first look between Taylor and her father, filled with emotion and love. During the reception, a heartfelt speech moved many to tears, further showcasing the cherished relationships.
