Matthew + Leila III

Instead of a traditional dinner reception, Matthew and Leila opted to throw a dessert and champagne reception for their guests after the ceremony. Doesn’t everything about this wedding just make you want to smile? The bubbles, the children running around barefoot, the cotton candy…every detail is just so heartwarming and beautiful. I love it!

LOVE IT! What a neat idea, love the idea of doing something different for a reception, what a lovely and fun party this must’ve been!

How cool! This wedding is at the See Canyon Fruit Ranch in Avila. We are getting married there next May.
This wedding is gorgeous. I love the playful spirit!

Hooray! A dessert reception! That’s what we’re doing, too. I love seeing “real weddings” with dessert receptions – it reminds me that I’m not alone. :)

The bride looks SO happy in the photo where she’s looking up at the groom. Such a pretty wedding.
