Too rustic can sway distressed-wood-overload, too sophisticated can sway snobbish—but a meeting in the middle? Now, that’s a beautiful marriage. Leilani Weddings found a beautiful meeting place for the two styles in this rustic-yet-sophisticated inspired wedding at Franciscan Gardens. Calling on wildflower arrangements in warm colors like apricot and burgundy mixed with wooden elements to elevate the look, we’re loving the little details!
The romance was on full display and captured in dreamy photo + video by Foolishly Rushing In. Let’s have a look!
The bride wore three looks by the romantic + whimsical designer, Amanda James. Her gorgeous ceremony gown, Fiona, featured a skirt of ivory flowers and a deep cut illusion neckline.
The Ceremony
Centered around a simple circular arch, the ceremony design truly “married” two styles we love: rustic + sophisticated.
The groom’s look from Friar Tux is a fun combination of gray + amber, tied together perfectly with a bohemian-inspired boutonniere.
A Whimsical Reception

Notice how the vintage Bug (which also happens to be a photo booth!) in the background matches the glasses on the table? It’s all in the details, folks.
Such sweet calligraphy by Type J Creative on the linen dinner menu!
So many florals to love in this reception table by Inessa Nichols Design! From the hanging installation to the pops of color on the tables…and even the yellow accents from ceremony arch in the background!
The bride changed into a cute reception look in the Gwen Corset + Sophia Skirt by Amanda James!
When your dessert bar also doubles as the perfect photo prop! Cotton candy by Twisted for Sugar and churros by Churro Service for the win.
Below is another peek at that day from Foolishly Rushing In!
Love it! Thanks to the team behind the day for sharing your brilliant inspiration!
