Hummingbird Nest Ranch is one of those venues that just takes your breath away the moment you pull up. Nestled in the Santa Susana Mountains just north of LA, this private estate feels like you've been transported to a European countryside while still being so close to the city. The property features a gorgeous Spanish Villa, shaded olive groves, sparkling fountains, sprawling lawns, and private vineyards, and there are so many stunning ceremony and reception spaces to choose from, including the Q Vineyard with its incredible mountain backdrop. It's an award-winning venue for good reason, and getting the bridal party ready on a property this beautiful honestly makes our job even more fun. The natural light, the romantic architecture, the sweeping mountain views... it all creates the most dreamy backdrop for celebration.

The bride looked through Anna Sui’s archives and called out elements of her favorite dresses. After a few detailed sketches, they had created Isabelle’s wedding dress in French Chantilly lace. On the day-of, the bride got ready with Emily Lynn & Co. and accessorized with pearl Jimmy Choos to match her pearl engagement ring, her mother’s wedding necklace, and Edwardian diamond earrings. A Claire Pettibone veil and a flower crown.

“When Megan first came to us, we set out to design a high gothic fantasy wedding. But, once she found the dress, we knew everything had to change.” Sometimes, the right wedding gown can rewrite your wedding vision, and that’s exactly how the planners of Moonbeam Weddings + Events remember *the* dress inspiring the bold + love-struck design vision that became Megan + Gavin’s San Juan Capistrano, CA wedding.

Working with this bride and groom was a complete dream! Not only are they the sweetest and kindest couple, their story and how they approached the wedding planning process was completely unique. The bride (an Aries) and the groom (a Cancer) used astrology to chart the perfect wedding day for them. Their dream venue was Catalina View Gardens, along the coast of Palos Verdes, CA. Considering the groom is an astrologist and he is an expert, they then used Electional Astrology to plan out the timing of the wedding day events.
