We’re thrilled to announce that our Westlake Village Inn Wedding of Lauren and Michael has been featured on California Wedding Day! Keep on reading to see more photos from the prettiest navy and pink wedding and an excerpt from the feature below!

“The day showcased a lovely color palette of pinks and neutrals paired with bright pops of blue, the perfect combination for a spring wedding in Cali. The two shared a beautiful traditional church ceremony, where the floral design flawlessly complemented the bride's stunning bouquet. Guests made their way to the Westlake Village Inn for the reception, where the prettiest reception design awaited. Vivid blues accompanied by hints of gold and pink gave the space a regal feel, and yummy sweet treats from Frost It Cakery and MJB Cakes rounded out the night.” Lainey Dow from California Wedding Day

Can You Have an Outdoor Fall Wedding?

September 20, 2018 brooke heflin

As a bride, you want nothing more than to have a truly fantastic wedding – the kind that looks and feels so good that guests talk about it months, and even years after it has ended. Of course, outdoor weddings are quite popular with brides and grooms who love being surrounded by the beauties of nature – but would such a wedding theme work during the fall?

Yes, you can totally have a fall outdoor wedding. The key lies in planning for good, as well as bad weather. Unfortunately, nobody can ever actually plan weather, regardless of the season outside – but what you can do is have a plan B in case it rains. A wedding tent or an indoor space, umbrellas for your guests, heaters, and other similar items can remove the risk of bad weather from your wedding day.

There are a lot of reasons to love the idea of a fall outdoor wedding. Just think of the spectacular landscapes everywhere – the colors, the romance, the beauty, the elegance! It will all look so absolutely stunning! Even more, you can use fall’s best items to decorate your wedding too – pumpkins, leaves, fruits, they can all become part of your wedding décor in a stunning way!

Moreover, a fall outdoor wedding is the perfect time to show off some trendy sleeves. Wedding gowns with 3/4 and full-length sleeves are really popular right now – and we can see why! They look so romantic and timeless that you simply cannot resist the option, especially if you’re a fall bride!

No matter what season you may choose for your Big Day, remember the most important element of it all: making it personal and unique. This is YOUR wedding, so you’re allowed to play by YOUR rules, especially when it comes to décor, timing, and so on. If you're excited to have your wedding this upcoming Fall, let us know - Burlap and Bordeaux would love to help make your dream wedding come true!
