Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful is the best way to describe Michael and Taylor’s wedding ceremony at the amazing Forever and Always Farm wedding venue. Despite being Orange County professional photographers, we love photographing weddings and other events in Los Angeles County and throughout all of Southern California. And this was no exception.
Taylor was gorgeously styled in a long sleeve boho Tara Lauren “Harlowe” gown from Mary Me Bridal. Her long voluminous locks were tousled to perfection by Jenna Murray from JEM hair and fashioned with a glamorous floral headpiece. Other bold accents she incorporated into her style for the day were her large holographic jewel dangling earrings and her royal blue painted nails. Her dramatic eye-catching makeup was done by none other than Kellie Collins. She chose a dark golden eye shadow and a deep purple for her lips, tying in with the color of her husband’s suit.
Michael wore a bold deep purple suit from Bloomingdales, a navy-blue polka-dot shirt, a royal blue, and red floral pocket square, and a black bow tie. The bridesmaids were dressed in different colored sequined dresses and the groomsmen wore an array of different colored suits. Although it was all mismatched, it still worked together perfectly! The deep purple, blue, magenta, and gold color palette added a glamorous boho feel to the otherwise rustic venue.
The beautiful Forever and Always Farm wedding venue is located in Murrieta, California, nestled in the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Preserve surrounded by rolling hills of Oak trees. Guests admired the loving couple as they exchanged vows under a gorgeous, detailed gazebo, adorned with draping greenery. With a ceremony spot surrounded by roses and lavender and a backdrop of the sun setting over the hills, it was quite a romantic and beautiful sight to see.
Guests dined in a canopied outdoor garden room, with dazzling chandeliers, mirrors, and walls covered in lush greenery. Rustic elements throughout the day included a skull and antlers, rusted metal, lace details, and distressed wooden accents, signage, and furniture pieces. The glamorous touches shined through the chandeliers, mismatched mirrors, gold accents, and fur-covered vases. The couple opted out on cake and chose donuts instead! Deliciously made by Haute Sweets, it was a sweet treat that did not disappoint. The bride’s stunning bouquet of large white roses, crafted by Soiree Floral Design, was accented with hints of deep blue throughout, which perfectly matched with her blue nails! The bridesmaid’s arrangements of flowers contained magenta and deep purple tones, along with touches of eucalyptus.
Last, but certainly not least, the best part about the venue was the Alpaca!
We were so excited to capture this amazing Rustic Bohemian Wedding at the Forever and Always Farm wedding venue in Murrieta, California. Since photographing their engagement and wedding, we’ve had the privilege of becoming good friends with this amazing couple and have since shot their maternity photos and photos for their business!
