This Romantic Wedding Inspiration Is So California Cool

This romantic wedding inspiration is full of down-to-earth elegance captured by The Crakes in California cool scenes that feel so effortless. A stately setting offers the perfect black canvas background where a whitewashed barn just on the outskirts of rustic style was elevated by lush touches, gorgeous models and opulent décor. Luxurious springy florals in all white can be found around every corner but we’re partial to the ivory delphinium and roses from Jackie Trejo Floral Design that line the aisle, instantly making this ceremony setup so fresh and elegant. Our bridesmaids look stunning, keeping it simple but chic in luxe green velvet gowns to complement the bride’s modern, regal look. She is flawless from head to toe, styled by BP Artistry with loose waves secured back on one side and peach-toned wedding makeup that left her glowing. For the final touch, a reception scene was set with champagne linens and place settings hand-lettered with calligraphy by Design to Flourish in timeless, romantic script. Like a breath of fresh air, this California cool, romantic wedding inspiration is just waiting to be enjoyed! See the light-filled gallery down below. Cheers!

From the photographers, The Crakes: “Tammy, the planner, had this amazing vision in mind to bring in the velvet green to the shoot to really show the texture of winter. I loved the ceremony arrangement for a micro wedding due to covid restrictions and showing another way to use the venue. The models were amazing. Being able to have fun and pose with no time constraints is always the best!”
