Timeless Glamour Meets Rustic Grit at this Mountain Villa Wedding

Outdoor Glamour Wedding

Heather is a lover of all things glam, and Michael is man who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty—and it’s that exact mix of glamour and grit that made us totally fall for their wedding day! The couple called on WINK! Weddings to bring their personalities and vision to life. The end result? A stunning day that celebrated both the guests and a couple more than ready to take on the role of man + wife!

WINK! Weddings truly does it all, and they told us a bit about the inspiration for the day: Setting on a style of timeless elegance, romance, and a touch of masculinity, we worked to achieve the design by incorporating pops of gold, distressed leather, wood, crystal, and of course, lush florals with tons of depth and texture. To add a bit of a modern edge, WINK!’s designer, Nancy, made the signage pop on clear acrylic pieces.

As for photography? Krista Ashley brought her talented eye to capture all the romance!

Heather and Michael chose Hummingbird Nest Ranch for several reasons: The grand staircase and the style of the villa made our venue the place for us. Driving in, past the gates and through a tree-lined street really built up the drama. We loved that every area of the villa was utilized for our wedding: we had the ceremony in the courtyard and our guests mingled around the property to the reception area where they were greeted by a grand entrance through the beautiful doors, down the staircase and into the reception area at sunset. We wanted it to feel like everyone’s wedding, we wanted our guests to feel spoiled and important.

Our Favorite Memory From The Wedding

My favorite moment of my wedding day was listening to our vows being recited by our officiant (Michael's cousin) as we held hands and took it all in. Our ceremony was short and sweet but very heartfelt. Our first dance was another beautiful experience. It was the first time it felt like we got to slow down and just be together. It was a beautiful "dance"...although we both just stood there sobbing and hugging. Afterwards, Krista, our photographer, and Loren, our videographer, pointed to the mountains and said, "Let's go up there." So Michael and I followed our artistic directors up a literal mountain, which I proceeded to climb in a custom dress...barefoot. Just to get the perfect shot. Our family and friends saw us on the mountain top from the cocktail hour and were screaming our names and cheering us on!

How about this DIY dream by WINK! Weddings?! Perhaps our favorite custom piece to create for Heather + Michael was the escort card display; it was the perfect centerpiece for their guests to visit during cocktail hour. Hand cut brass sheets were adorned with each guest’s name and table number, then affixed to a large acrylic sheet rigged on a custom-built brass pipe structure. The final perfect touch was the deep green garland by White Fig Designs.

Our Advice To Those Planning Now

Do exactly what you want to do! And do it big! Nancy (WINK!) has taught me that when you make a decision then it's time to get off of Pinterest! Working with the ladies of WINK! It was a true pleasure, and they made us feel confident, excited and most importantly, heard.
