Alicia & Taylor | Ojai Valley Inn Wedding

Alicia and Taylor’s wedding weekend took place against the stunning backdrop of Ojai Valley Inn. Their story, filled with shared adventures and a passion for music, was woven into every aspect of the weekend—from the Welcome Party to the heartfelt ceremony and lively afterparty. Thoughtfully designed and planned by Michel B. Events, the entire weekend was nothing short of perfection.

The festivities began the night before the wedding with a Welcome Party at Casa Elar, an Italian-style villa nestled within the Ojai Valley Inn property. With sweeping mountain views, tall cypress trees, and a sparkling pool, it was the perfect place for guests to gather and enjoy Aperol spritz and wood-fired pizza.

The morning of the wedding was full of excitement, as Alicia and Taylor each got ready at Casa Elar with their respective wedding parties. Alicia, surrounded by her bridesmaids, slipped into a stunning gown with a plunging v-neck and intricate floral appliques and embroidery. Meanwhile, Taylor and his groomsmen enjoyed spending time by the pool before preparing for the day ahead.

The ceremony, which took place under the Wishing Tree, was full of soft and muted florals, including delicate white cosmos, orchids, pastel roses, towering white allium, and a variety of greenery. Alicia’s mom played a key role in all things floral. Working with Camellia Floral Design, she selected an array of seasonal blooms, which formed a lush floral arch that framed the couple as they exchanged vows.

The reception embraced a more vibrant color palette of corals and yellows, bringing a burst of warmth to the outdoor celebration. Fresh stonefruit, citrus, berries, zinnias, dahlias, and roses adorned the tables, creating an organic and natural atmosphere that flowed seamlessly with the surroundings.

An open-air tent was constructed to preserve the breathtaking views of the Ojai mountains while creating a cozy and inviting ambiance for dinner. Twinkling lights created a canopy of stars above, while rattan basket weave pendants added a rustic charm to the evening.

Music was a key element of the day, reflecting Alicia and Taylor’s shared love for electronic music. Their dream came true when their favorite DJ, Classixx (also the owner and manager of Dart Collective), performed at the wedding, spinning tracks from the start of the ceremony all the way through the lively afterparty inside The Farmhouse. To further personalize the day, Alicia’s bridesmaid Kari performed the beautiful song “Brightest Lights” by Lane 8 as Alicia walked down the aisle with her father.

It was a weekend filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories, perfectly capturing the essence of Alicia and Taylor’s relationship.
