Since we had about a year until the wedding, we had some time and tackled finding the right vendor for us one at a time. We started by finding our venue. We knew from the start that we wanted a beautiful outdoor space with lots of greenery and mountains as our backdrop and Hyatt Gainey Ranch came together perfectly for us.

We wanted our wedding to feel light, airy, simple, and elegant and used some summery pastel colors and fucsia for the event. For our reception, we used some of these same elements and added emerald green and gold to add some coziness and richness to the event.

From then on, we were extremely fortunate to find some amazing vendors to work with who were honestly some of the kindest, most sincere people to work with-- such as Santiago! Sure we had our moments when the little details and last-minute adjustments would get to us but navigating the wedding planning journey together and it culminating so beautifully into our dream wedding was more than we ever thought would be possible!
