Holly and Omri's Wedding

  It's official! Wedding season is in full swing at Hidden Valley Retreat. We've been anticipating the spring season and now that our gardens and trees are beginning to bloom, we have some wonderful weddings on the horizon.

  One couple who had their recent nuptials at Hidden Valley chose to start the season on a truly colorful note. Borrowing inspiration from the numerous flora we have on site, Holly and Omri created a rainbow-like atmosphere complete with handmade goods and lots of love.

  Our wedding stage at the property is a wooden work of art. It is one of our most popular areas for couples to recite their vows. Not only does it provide shade, but it evokes a rustic setting with the numerous intertwined branches overhead.  Not wanting to take away from its beauty, Holly created a ribbon canopy in every imaginable shade to accent the natural wood. It added a hint of color and panache without taking away from the woodsy setting during their ceremony.Several  galvanized buckets filled with baby's breath outlined the bridal party's path, adding a delicate, sweet touch to the festivities.

  After vows were recited at the wedding stage, guests then made their way to the Main House for some food, dancing, and fun! Market lighting was strung across the deck area creating a warm, intimate space for guests to gather as the sun went down. Multicolored Bunting signs were hung to add a handmade touch and continue the colorful theme from the ceremony site, too. A sweets station decked out with sugary treats added a bit of fun for the adults, while a kids table with crayons and pinwheels added some joy for the little ones. Even portable heaters were brought in to the area so that no one would be chilly on such a cool, spring night. It was an idea many guests were thankful for at the end of the day!

 Once speeches were made and dinner was finished, everyone hopped over to the pool area for some amazing music and dancing! Twinkle lights, bunting, and even large inflatable pool balls were present to evoke a bit of charm and whimsy for the reception. Once the music started, there was no stopping this couple and their guests from having a joyful, loving celebration!

  We would like to give a special thanks to Justin and Keary Weddings for sharing their beautiful photos of the day and to all the vendors who made everything possible!
