If you’re envisioning a vineyard wedding, California’s Central Coast is an enchanting destination, offering a more intimate and budget-friendly experience than Napa, with equally breathtaking wine country scenery. Ella’s Vineyard, nestled in the Creston and San Luis Obispo foothills, provides an elegant and rustic farmhouse setting with a sprawling ancestral oak tree for vows and a charming white rustic barn for receptions. This venue, boasting ocean views, ancient oak trees, and sun-drenched vineyards, captivated Morgan and Jacob, making it their ideal wedding location.
Ella’s Vineyard extends the celebration with weekend stays at its picturesque farmhouse, complete with modern amenities. The farmhouse, a rare find for getting-ready suites, offers abundant natural light and bright white walls, creating the perfect backdrop for bridal portraits. Morgan and Jacob, along with their wedding party, enjoyed the spacious farmhouse, which can be rented for the entire weekend, allowing family and friends to stay on-site. The abundance of light played a crucial role in enhancing the beauty of Morgan and her bridesmaids in their getting-ready and bridal photos.
Summer is the perfect season to have a wedding in Paso Robles. The warm summer nights are so dreamy for dancing, and the colors of the fields and vines are so rich and earthy. Jacob and Morgan used bright peach, pale mint green, pink and white in their wedding flowers to compliment the natural beauty of the farm and the colors present in Ella’s Vineyard already.
Morgan, the radiant bride, donned a chic, modern, and feminine wedding gown, preparing for her special day in the sun-drenched master bridal suite. The bridesmaids complemented her in soft silk dresses of light beige. The groomsmen, dressed in navy blue suits with coordinated ties, added a touch of sophistication. The vibrant floral arrangements of pinks, corals, oranges, and white, along with green eucalyptus, perfectly complemented the summer vineyard setting. The wedding attire and florals created a stunning visual harmony, captured beautifully in photos.
Morgan and Jacob exchanged vows under the cool shade of a 400-year-old oak tree, surrounded by rolling hills. The guests enjoyed a shuttle ride down to the ceremony site, providing scenic views of Paso Robles vineyards. The ancient oak tree, offering shade and breathtaking light, added a dreamy ambiance to the summer day. Candid moments like the bride and groom admiring the view from the shuttle were expertly captured, adding a personal touch to their wedding album.
Morgan’s DIY succulent centerpieces adorned long wooden farm tables, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere for the guests. The rustic barn transformed into a lively dance floor under enchanting string lights, with even grandma joining in on the festivities. Sunset photos in the vineyard, featuring Morgan and Jacob, showcased the couple’s joy and love. The day, filled with laughter, dancing, and unforgettable moments, serves as a remarkable source of inspiration for couples planning their own California Central Coast weddings.
