A Chapel Wedding in California

The design was stunning with countryside chic touches, featuring wooden chairs with white cushions and tables adorned with sprays of green and white floral arrangements. Gold accents throughout the tablescapes added a bit of old-world elegance. As the evening progressed, countless candles were lit, casting a warm glow over the scene, while bistro lights strung overhead enhanced the magical ambiance.
