An All American Wedding at Bandy Canyon Ranch

Everything about this wedding was a spitting image of this beautiful bride and her amazing personality!  How do I know?!?!?! Well, she happens to be one of my oldest friends.  Nicole and I met in grade school and have remained friends ever since.  I have had the pleasure of growing with her, laughing with her, crying with her, attending her epic Bachelorette party in Nashville.  And witnessing her fall in love and marry the most perfect man for her, Darin.  Now, I regularly get to watch her beautiful family grow and flourish on social media and witness her slay the #momtreprenuer world.   And though they don't happen often enough, I thoroughly enjoy our life chats over dinner and cocktails.   

Before we dive into their wedding details, lets take a look at how cute their save the date music video was!

Bandy Canyon Ranch is an awesome venue.  They have multiple cabins to rent out on the property that you and your family or bridal party can stay in.  It has a very country feel to it, which is totally Nicole and Darin....also known as Sweets and Studs!

I love it when couples write each other letters to read right before the ceremony.  One last time to tell the other how much you love them before the biggest moment in your relationship.  When there is gifts along with the letters....its even an extra bonus!  And the bride and groom gifted their groomsmen with the cutest selfie bobble heads.  LOL Classic!

The ceremony was perfect.  Her adorable pooch Bentley strutted down the aisle right in to dads arms.  Her brother walked her down the aisle.  The moms gave short speeches.  They personalized their vows.  It was just perfect! 

You know I am ALL about the details!   Nicole's mom did a fabulous job crafting different display areas.  They were all so unique, beautiful, and fitting to the theme.  My ALL time favorite Photobooth, the VW bus, pulled right up tot he reception spot and acted like a decor element as well as a fun activity for the guests. 

Walter with Walter Wilsons Studios did an amazing job capturing the most beautiful pictures. 

I love that I have such a dependable staff.  On weddings like these where I am friends with the bride and groom, I get to pass the reigns over to them and have a little fun on the dance floor!

Cheers to Nicole and Darin!
