When it came to celebrating Sutton and Nick, the combination of Greengate Ranch and Vineyard, the blooming colors of spring, and a couple deeply in love was magical. The Knot broke down how this wedding perfectly captured the essence of a romantic and whimsical celebration from the picturesque landscapes to the charming decor.

Greengate Ranch & Vineyard provided an idyllic backdrop for this pastel spring wedding. The venue's rustic elegance and sprawling grounds set the stage for an unforgettable celebration. With its ample greenery, rolling hills, and breathtaking views, it's no wonder this venue was chosen to host such a special day.

When you’re on the property, “you're surrounded by lush greenery, making it a perfect canvas for color”

Sutton, Bride

The couple's choice of a soft-hued palette perfectly complemented the season, adding an ethereal touch to the entire event. Soft shades of blush, lavender, mint, and baby blue were incorporated throughout from the floral arrangements by Plenty of Petals to the table settings from All About Events. These delicate shades created a romantic and blissful atmosphere that captured the essence of the season.

Sutton and Nick exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony held outdoors amidst nature's splendor. Along the aisle, arrangements of beautiful blossoms guided the way. Surrounded by family and friends, Sutton and Nick said “I Do”. The soft breeze and the gentle chirping of birds created a serene ambiance, making it a truly unforgettable moment for everyone present.

From custom wedding invitations designed by Swell Press Paper Co. featuring delicate watercolor designs to handcrafted place cards, every detail of this wedding reflected the couple's personality. The courtyard was decorated with sparkling fairy lights, creating a dreamy atmosphere as the sun set over the vineyards. The guests were treated to a delicious menu catered by Field to Table that showcased locally sourced ingredients and a stunning multi-tiered wedding cake.

The Knot recently featured the remarkable wedding weekend of Kayla and Cody. This red, white, and star-themed rehearsal dinner left guests awestruck and excited to witness the couple's happily ever after. Set in the modern Stables of Greengate Ranch & Vineyard, the rehearsal dinner, catered by Field to Table Catering & Events, embraced a romantic and celestial theme.

The carefully curated decor from Bella Vista Designs featured a color palette of red and white, accentuated by the twinkling glow of fairy lights and shimmering star motifs. Epic Entertainment serenaded the gathering, setting the stage for joyous celebrations. Guests also had the opportunity to indulge in stargazing, where telescopes were set up to provide glimpses of the night sky.

From the moment guests received the invitations by Prim & Pixie, they were introduced to the couple's vision. The boxed suite, decorated with pink suede and gold accents, set the tone for the celebration's modern yet romantic theme, which was echoed throughout the event's signage by Lovely Fest.

As the wedding day unfolded, the couple transformed their rustic barn venue into a vision of understated elegance. The ceremony, draped in all-white fabric and illuminated by chandeliers adorned with flowers and vines, exuded an air of timeless beauty. The bride, Kayla, fondly recalls the ethereal atmosphere, "From the outside, it looked very rustic…but inside was gorgeous."

Kayla and Cody’s wedding design was incorporated into every minute detail, including their beautiful seating chart and wood bar. The dusty pink, gold, and wood accents stood out behind the background of Greengate’s natural lush setting.

Beyond the aesthetics, Kayla and Cody infused their heritage and family traditions into the celebration. A teepee photo booth, adorned with their names on a neon sign, paid homage to Kayla's Native American heritage, adding a personalized touch to the festivities. Additionally, the couple honored their grandparents, who had passed away, by reserving three chairs in the front row—a touching gesture that ensured their presence was felt throughout the day.

Family played a central role throughout the day, with Cody's older son, Korbin, proudly walking down the aisle as a groomsman, standing tall beside his father. Meanwhile, their youngest, Beaux, stole hearts as he bravely carried out his duties as the ring bearer.

In every moment, Kayla and Cody's wedding radiated warmth and authenticity, a testament to the love that binds families together and the beauty of honoring one's heritage. As they embark on this new chapter of their lives, they carry with them the rich tapestry of their past, weaving it into the fabric of their future.
