California Campground Wedding
The wedding of Karen and Vaughn reminds me so much of why I love talking about and highlighting weddings every day on Once Wed. From their handmade invitation to their wedding weekend camping with family and friends, every detail was a true reflection and celebration of Karen and Vaughn’s new life together…
We got married at a campground in between Ventura and Ojai, three days of celebrating love, and put the wedding together with the help of family and friends. All the decoration and details, from the food to music, was the outcome of everyone bringing their help and creativity to make it happen. We had people bring truckloads of hay stacks, firewood, and pumpkins. Aunts arranged flowers and brought homemade desserts. Friends made appetizers and homemade cocktails. They even helped us clean up…

I just have to say that I adore this site – it’s always such a pick-me-up if I’m in a bad mood, and it’s so beautiful!
I love the retro feel of this wedding! So lovely! She looks so vintage! I loved dreaming over your blog before and now I got engaged last Saturday and I can’t stop looking at it! Thanks! :)
I cannot believe that dress is a thrift store find. thats phenomenal. This is everything a wedding should be: a true reflection of the bride and groom and the life they will have together.
I live only a few miles from Foster Park! Before winning the free wedding i looked into getting married there. :) This wedding is absolutely adorable!
[...] beautiful tulle creation ? Crazy about this cake topper – gothic Hello Kitty! ? Californian campfire wedding ? Darkness and black magic ? Vintage swooning ? A finishing touch ? All brides can now be [...]
[...] this was a beautiful camping wedding and I wish the bride and groom countless beautiful camping experiences in their new life together. [...]
Oh wow! This is so cool! I love this concept. I would like to do something similar, but somehow I doubt my girlfriend would be as into the concept.
LOVE this! just goes to show that weddings are about love … sometimes people get wrapped up in lavish details when really all you need is the man you love and your friends and family to celebrate with you! { katrina }
I love vintage weddings. The bride’s outfit is gorgeous.
i loved camping in california and whenever i got married, i will surely choose this state for my wedding and ask the wedding organizing company to choose a best rv campground for it. as most of my friends also are rv camping geeks.
“I love it” you too are so cute! Im thinking of a camping wedding can you please tell me the name of the site.
