An Elegant Fairy-Tale Wedding at Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens in Fallbrook, California

For Jessica Blanch (21 and a receptionist) and Daniel Tilleman (24 and a student), elegant fairy-tale romance imbued every aspect of their wedding celebration at Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens in Fallbrook, California, just north of San Diego. After a Mormon ceremony at the San Diego LDS Temple, the couple arrived at their reception in a white, horse-drawn carriage. "There is something magical about Grand Estates," Jessica says. "The grounds are beyond gorgeous." As they awaited the newlyweds' arrival to the reception, 150 guests snacked on desserts and fresh fruit, which they dipped into a chocolate fountain. Ivory and pink roses were used throughout the design, while tables were set with simple white linens and topped with glam, crystal vases. Peach and blush rosettes covered the couple's three-tier wedding cake, which was displayed on a glass stand and surrounded by glowing votives. After dinner and dancing, the newlyweds made their grand exit through a tunnel made of sparklers held by family and friends. —Carolyn Meers
