On May 12th we were introduced to a new ceremony tradition called Ring Warming, that we fell in love with. At the beginning of Samantha and Brooks wedding ceremony the officiant explained that the wedding rings would be passed around to each of the guests including the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen on a small ring bearer pillow. As the rings passed through the hands of each person they gave a quick blessing to the couple and their marriage to each other. Such a beautiful thing to see and a wonderful way to incorporate each person you have invited to feel like a part of your ceremony.

Classic Elegance at the San Ysidro Ranch~http://lafeteweddings.com/wp-content/themes/blade/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg150150La Fete WeddingsLa Fete Weddingshttp://lafeteweddings.com/wp-content/themes/blade/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg
The San Ysidro Ranch is the perfect place to have an intimate wedding in a garden setting. Each space is filled with lovely trees, flowers and sprawling green lawns. We so enjoyed helping Caroline and John on this wedding filled with love, family and friends.
Caroline’s dress gave us the inspiration for all the lace details incorporated into this classic elegant affair. I loved the lace inlay on her train! The bouquet wrap, pretty little bags for the flower girls, petal cones, boutonnieres all had the lace details, created by Mindy Rice. I loved the lush flower arrangements she designed for the cocktail hour and the the Hydrangea Cottage all accented with the tiny elegant green vines. The room looked so lovely with the tall candelabras.
For the second time this year we have had the wonderful treat of using Aurora Ensembles for our ceremony musicians. I have asked them to play their beautiful music while processing either up the aisle or around the guests before the ceremony is to begin. It is such an awesome moment, and the guests love it.
