Set against the stunning backdrop of Carmel Valley, Holman Ranch was the perfect venue for a wedding that exuded understated luxury. Surrounded by ancient oak trees and rows of vineyards, the couple’s special day was infused with the charm of the old world and the freshness of blooming lavender.
Holman Ranch, with its stone structures and sweeping views, offered a picturesque setting for the wedding. The various iconic locations on the property, from the rolling vineyards to the grand oak tree, provided breathtaking backdrops for each moment of the celebration.
Drawing inspiration from the lavender that blooms in Carmel in June, the couple incorporated this fragrant flower into their wedding décor. Lavender adorned the ceremony aisle, the cocktail bar, and even the dessert table, creating a cohesive and aromatic theme throughout the day.
The bride wore a classic A-line dress with a sparkling belt, radiating elegance and simplicity. Her bouquet was a delicate arrangement of white and green, perfectly complementing her timeless look. The bridesmaids in soft pink dresses and the groomsmen in blue suits added a touch of color, harmonizing beautifully with the natural surroundings.
The ceremony took place at the wedding venue’s overlook, where the couple exchanged vows with the mountains as their witness. The reception, held in the ranch’s courtyard, featured a plated dinner under the stars. The cocktail bar, adorned with wine barrels and lavender, was a highlight, offering guests a taste of local flavors.
The couple’s dessert bar was a visual and culinary delight, with an array of sweet treats that catered to every palate. As the night progressed, guests danced under the twinkling lights, celebrating the couple’s love and the beauty of the day.
