Shelby & Hardik
A fairytale ranch wedding..
The sun beams were strong and the vibes IMMACULATE for these two lovebirds. Shelby and Hardik chose the Birchwood Room at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, CA as the backdrop to their big day. The day started with beauty by Fairytale Hair & Makeup for the ladies while the rest of the vendor team started set-up.
Calamigos Ranch has multiple spots to say “I do” but we’re pretty partial to the waterfall setting that The Birchwood Room has to offer. This space needed very little to add to the “magic” but the blooms from MidSummer Mother were the perfect touch. Guests were asked to choose a seat and not a side while Nico from RomCom Weddings led one of the most personal and entertaining ceremonies we’ve ever witnessed. The bride’s Mom and Grandmother were honored at a reserved seat in the front row and never have we ever seen sunbeams shine down so beautifully, it was truly moving.
Guests were entertained by a live harpist during cocktail hour while they noshed on a vegetarian spread by the Calamigos kitchen and lounged about the property.
After a quick “escape” for golden hour portraits with Jenni, Shelby and Hardik led their guests to dine under chandelier adorned trees while the sun set at the ranch. Candles (ALWAYS!) give a gorgeous glow, and we loved the floral pops of peach and pink against goldenrod linens. Dinner was served buffet style with many dishes from Calamigos and Lal Mirch traditional Indian cuisine.
After toasts by loved ones, these cuties just wanted to shake their booty’s and found themselves on the dance floor till the very end with their “party animal” friends and family.
