Whispering Sweet Wedding Nothings

Whispering Sweet Wedding Nothings

This couple married fun & funky with elegance. Their care free nature shines through with their bright colors and bohemian style. Their venue choice, Whispering Rose Ranch is the most elegant horse ranch you’ll come across and is over the top grandeur. Boho met elegance and resulted in this fabulously eclectic wedding.

Cattle skulls, horseshoes, antler chandeliers, haystacks and succulents were scattered throughout the ceremony and reception. Everything was so unique – even the horseshoe gifts varied from one to the next with the various colors of wrapped string. The bride herself was stunning and we fell completely in love with her crown of greenery and loose hanging feathers. To say she wore it well is an understatement. 

We created a menu that played off the ranch theme and it was the last piece of the puzzle to really bring it all together:

Passed Appetizers // Southern Belles – Juicy Slow Roasted Shredded BBQ Pork on Fresh Baked Mini Corn Muffins with Napa Slaw 

Stationary Appetizers //  local and organic Avocado Bar – Split Avocado’s with Colorful Fresh Made Salsas, Corn Relish, Cilantro, Crumbled Cortija, Crisp Bacon, Radishes and Heirloom Beans 

Dinner //  Sharp Cheddar and Ortega Chili Corn Bread Muffins // Baked Mac & Cheese with Gruyere, White Cheddar and a Crisp Golden Topping // Corn on the Cob // Roasted Whiskey Chicken with Bourbon Onion Marmalade // Char Grilled Sirloin with Red Wine Mushroom Bordelaise

Specialty Cocktail // Lynchburg Lemonade with Jack Daniels

Once the wedding was over and the bride and groom settled into life as Mr. & Mrs., we received these kind words:

“Thank you SO MUCH! Our guests could not stop telling us how amazing the food was. Thank you for all your hard work this past year with creating the wedding of our dreams. I want to give extra thanks for how incredible everything was. Words do not actually express how grateful we are!”

Everyone who contributed to this wedding was wonderful. We can’t wait for the 2016 wedding season for more amazing weddings like this one.
