Personality Types

1. Planner
Has a vision for the day and a good idea how to make it happen, but anxious that they will be too concerned with making everything right that they won't be able to enjoy it.

2. Functional
Great at budgeting and making decisions, but unsure about how to make it look pretty. You haven't been dreaming of this day since you were a little girl.

3. Visionary
Lots of ideas and creativity, but not so great at budgeting and making final decisions. Pinterest is your best friend and worst enemy.

4. Perplexed
Lots of ideas, but little direction on how to make a wedding happen.

Rustic Ranch Wedding with Purple Accents at Old 1862 Ranch

Beautiful rustic ranch wedding at the historic Old 1862 Ranch just north of Reno, NV. The ranch was originally built in 1862 and many of the original buildings still remain.

To take full advantage of the large venue the couple encouraged guests to move around the property by focus items of interest all around the main house. The ceremony took place behind the ranch house under a large tree overlooking the surrounding fields and mountains. Cocktails were served near the barn tables to the left of the house. Dinner was served under a tent in the large grass space at the front of the property. Dancing took place right off the main porch and croquet and cornhole games were set up to the right of the house. This strategy allowed guests to really enjoy the property and have lots of fun.

Purple and sage lines adorned the tables. The groom's father hand crafted wooden decor in the shape of Nevada. Purple and green paper lanterns were strewn throughout the trees around the property.

Each table had an eclectic mix of crystal candle stands, colored bottles, and wooden pieces to create a unique feel.

The bride hand made all of the bouquets and boutonnieres from decorative paper and ribbon.
