The Ceremony

Brianne and Derek held a preceremony cocktail hour with sangria, hors d’oeuvres, and a flamenco guitarist. Once all the guests were assembled, they moved to the outdoor ceremony site. “We held the ceremony on the top of a hill with a 360-degree view of rolling hills in the Santa Ynez wine country,” Brianne remembers. “The ceremony took place right at sunset and was bathed in the warm glow of the setting California sun.” The bride rolled up to the ceremony site in style in a horse-drawn carriage, which later carried the newly-married couple off into the sunset.
