No. 334 – Maryann and Brandon

Stoddard blog
Client: Maryann and Brandon

Date: September 19, 2015

Ceremony & Reception Location: Private residence in Lincoln, CA

Setting: Maryann’s parents’ ranch provided the perfect backdrop for a country-themed wedding. The property is so large that some guests brought their RV’s so they could spend the night!

Family affair: The amount of time that Maryann’s parents put into getting their property ready to stage a wedding had to be enormous! They took a blank canvas and created not only ceremony and reception spaces, but they also staged several areas (cake table, guest book area, photo booth, watering hole, etc). Everywhere you looked there were cute details.

Great idea (sort of): Instead of blowing bubbles or throwing rice as the bride and groom walked down the aisle, they had the great idea of sticking with their country theme and using sunflower seeds. Too bad that some guests didn’t realize that they were supposed to take the seeds out of the bag and not nail them with the pouch as they walked by!

Vendor shout-out: We had the pleasure of working with ViAnna & Jim (a fellow husband and wife duo) for the first time. They recently relocated their successful biz from Southern California to Sacramento and we’re looking forward to working more with them in the future.
