A Romantic Outdoor Wedding at Gerry Ranch in Santa Rosa Valley, California

From the moment that Ashley Locker (27 and a contract administrator) and Paul Fischetti (28 and a certified public accountant) stepped onto the property at Gerry Ranch in Santa Rosa Valley, California, they fell in love with the beautiful outdoor environment that fit their romantic style. The soft color scheme of mint green, purple and white brought the day's romantic look to life, from the mint green knee-length bridesmaid dresses to the beautiful flower arrangements filled with purple and white blooms. The day began at the lawn ceremony, captured by Elizabeth Burgi Photography, where glass mason jars filled with flowers lined the grassy aisle. Ashley and Paul stood between two rustic barrels topped with a plank of wood and more flowers, matching the bouquets that Ashley and her bridesmaids held at the ceremony. They conducted a sand ceremony where they combined two colors of sand into one vase, representing the union of their marriage. The party moved to the reception space on the lawn, where pieces of stationery displayed table numbers and guest names pinned onto an empty window frame. Ashley and Paul took their seats at the long wooden sweetheart table, where a "Mr. & Mrs." sign marked their seats with a backdrop of white wildflowers. We adored the blue ombre tiered wedding cake baked by Skiff's Cakes, especially the fish topper inspired by their last name, Fischetti. A tip from Ashley and Paul: "Always communicate and make sure to listen to each other. We definitely have strong communication and truly enjoy spending as much time as we can together."
