From Events by Fran:

Walking up to Taylor and Zachary's wedding, the love in the air-- and in the details-- was palpable. The couple had selected two lush, greenery rich locations for their special day: The Westlake Village Inn for getting ready and the Calamigos Ranch Redwood Room for their ceremony and reception. The beautiful Southern California weather was the only sign this event was in Malibu, CA instead of a secret, fairytale forest. As the bride walked down the aisle in a chic lace Maggie Sottero gown and lace edged cathedral length veil, her backdrop was a babbling waterfall and sunlight trees. Once at the altar, the couple was surrounded by dreamy white drapery, abundant greenery with pops of white and orange elegantly arranged by The Exotic Green Garden, and of course, a bridal party decked in gorgeous shades of green.

Inside, the guests were treated to a delicious meal, provided by Calamigos Ranch, and cupcakes that were (almost) too pretty to eat from The Karma Baker. At each table, and throughout the venue, were nods to the couple's love of wine and their cats, Chai and Grey. Like many COVID couples, Taylor and Zachary had to postpone their original 2020 wedding date. So when their new date finally arrived, not a moment was wasted-- the night was filled with selfies, stories, laughter, dancing, and so much love.

The day, and all its details, were expertly coordinated by Events by Fran and captured by wedding photographer, Yanira Scalise Photography.
