A Romantic, Garden-Inspired Wedding at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California

rn A soft pink and white palette blended well with the green lush landscaping at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California, creating a romantic setting for this garden-inspired wedding. "The venue is hidden away among the beautiful trees and green hillsides, and it makes you feel like you have entered a quiet town surrounded by nature," Nichole Fox (34 and a senior sales executive) says of her marriage to Craig Stephen (38 and a director of operations). Nichole always wanted to get married under a tree, and her dream came true at the large oak tree where she and Craig said their vows. The programs printed on white stationery had romantic pink rose designs accenting the corners, resembling the soft flower arrangements seen throughout the entire day. Guests located their white escort cards with floral designs displayed on a wooden desk, leading them to dining tables covered in white and burlap linens. We loved Nichole's elegant gown, which embodied the romance of the day—a strapless trumpet-style dress with a sweetheart neckline and lace covering the silhouette, along with a lace bolero to wear just for the ceremony. "Craig mentioned that he loved sleeves at one point during my shopping, so I wore the lace bolero to be more demure and classic with sleeves to surprise my husband-to-be," Nichole says. "Plus, I was able to take it off when it was time to let loose for the reception."
