Christian and Nicole: Historic Seven Sycamores

 

It feels so good to slowly refresh this space with new content. By new, I mean last spring, but I will totally get all caught up soon! One of my favorite things about this wedding.. easily.. was Nicoles laced gown. It just hugged her petite frame so effortlessly! Now on top of all that this couple just doesn't take a bad photo. Striking smiles and lots of laughing..a photographers dream!Also, if you haven't checked out Seven Sycamores here in Visalia (technically Ivanhoe) do so now! It is the cutest venue here in the valley, not just for weddings but for anything!! Theyre even renting it out for all types of photoshoots.If you follow my blog, you might have also noticed they have a gorgeous glass barn. Nicole and Christian only used one side of the venue, which is their garden area.. so you won't really see the glass barn here, but this post is the perfect example for just how beautiful your wedding day could be at Seven Sycamores with just their garden venue!

COREY AND MELISSA: HISTORIC SEVEN SYCAMORES WEDDING

 

This fall wedding was one for the books! From the actual leaf place cards to the exquisite floral design, I was completely swooning when I arrived to see all the goodness.

 Melissa and Corey hired the talented Katie Kalendar of Ribbon and Leaf Events to design and execute their vision of a an elegant meets rustic fall wedding, so it was no surprise to me that every detail from this wedding was carefully articulated and gave you a warm, cozy fall vibe.Historic Seven Sycamores has the most gorgeous overgrown trees all over their ground and Katie used the leaves from the venue, which had already fallen during the changing season, and teamed up with The Scribble Shoppe t to add some beautiful calligraphy to them with each guests' name as their place card. My favorite thing Ive seen to date. Rustic Roots blew us away with the brides bouquet along with the ceremony and reception floral design. Tres Bien provided guests with a wonderful and delicious display of a burger buffet (so yummy!) and all guests enjoyed sweet treats from the ever so talented Goodies Cookies and Cakes!

This was a wedding to remember and I'm so excited to share it here with you all!

Pace and Allison

 

Such a lovely winter wedding at Historic Seven Sycamores. You can almost always guarantee that any wedding they host will be over the top, but this particular one was something of a different feel. Winter is the season that gets the least amount of wedding bookings, people are intimidated by the cold and unpredicted weather, but here in the valley it is simply one of my favorites.Allison did a great job taking into account what her guests might feel throughout her wedding day as she had a basket of hand warmers at the welcome table, provided Kuppa Joy coffee station for a complimentary and warm beverage to sip on, as well as having the entire reception event inside SS's one of a kind glass barn.This day was simply designed to perfection.. the color scheme alone will leave you inspired. It was truly a pleasure.
