A Rustic , Organic-Inspired Wedding at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu, California
The natural color palette and lush landscaping of the garden lawn at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu, California, creates an organic sensation for anyone who steps onto the property. Candace Major (30 and in real estate investment) and Mike Carroll (39 and a professional skateboarder) were won over the moment they pulled into the driveway lined with trees, embodying a natural feel perfect for their elegant, rustic wedding. The chosen color palette of purple and pink blended in well with the surrounding foliage and wood detail, captured on camera by Braedon Photography. The ceremony place outside on the lawn, where Candace and Mike said their vows at the twig canopy wrapped with white linens, positioned underneath a grand weeping pepper tree. Dream catchers hung next to string lights that dangled above dark wood dining tables, draped with purple runners and decorated with abundant amounts of colorful foliage centerpieces, thanks to the help of Lady Liberty Events. Three large hoops wrapped in navy satin ribbon were accented in greenery and blooms, which displayed simple white escort cards for guests to find their seats with. The tables were set with square elegant plates accented with soft gray napkins and fresh rosemary sprigs, with a purple ribbon tied around the linen that had a name tag attached. This wedding felt like a dream to us—starting from when we first noticed the beautifully designed wedding invitations. "Our invitations were the perfect reflection of our venue and a rustic, romantic vibe," Candace says. "The light tree bark pattern provided a soft but natural feel, which we tied together with a custom monogrammed tag that showcased a glamorous version of our initials, which we had been drawing since we met."
