A Fairytale Setting at Hacienda de las Flores

If fairy tales had a modern-day setting, they’d probably look a lot like a Hacienda de las Flores wedding. Tucked away in the charming town of Moraga, California, this historic gem was the perfect playground for Casey and Carlos’ European-inspired love story. From the moment guests arrived, it felt like stepping into another world—a world filled with romance, charm, and just a hint of magic.

The Timeless Beauty of the Hacienda

Picture this: the Hacienda’s white stucco walls glowing in the sunshine, terracotta roof tiles basking in the heat, and grand archways whispering secrets of celebrations past. Add lush gardens bursting with blooms, and you’ve got a venue that’s basically a Pinterest board come to life. It’s no wonder Casey and Carlos couldn’t resist its allure!

European Elegance Meets Chinoiserie Charm

Now, let’s talk décor, because these two did not come to play. The theme? European elegance with a twist of chinoiserie chic. The table runners? Handcrafted by their family—cue the sentimental swooning! These runners, paired with chinoiserie vases and a stunning seating chart, were a masterpiece all on their own. And don’t even get me started on the orange and white florals. They added the perfect burst of color, harmonizing beautifully with the timeless beauty of the venue. Gorgeous doesn’t even begin to cover it.

A Ceremony Straight Out of a Storybook

The ceremony was straight out of a storybook. A harpist—yes, a real-life harpist—set the tone with enchanting melodies as guests arrived. The couple said their vows under a canopy of trees, their words weaving a tapestry of love and laughter. The harp’s delicate notes carried them down the aisle and into their happily ever after. Talk about a Disney moment!

Cocktail Hour: Fun in the Sun (and Heat!)

But wait, there’s more! Cocktail hour on the lawn was like a garden party for the ages. Guests sipped refreshing drinks, played lawn games, and mingled in the golden glow of the late afternoon. Was it CRAZY hot? Absolutely. Did that stop anyone from having the time of their lives? Not a chance.

A Magical Reception Under the Stars

As the sun began to set, the real magic happened. The reception unfolded under twinkling string lights, with long tables dressed to the nines in chinoiserie and surrounded by glowing trees. It was like dining under a canopy of stars, but better, because there were churros waiting inside. Yes, churros—and they were the talk of the night.

Dancing, Churros, and Endless Joy

Inside the Hacienda, the celebration kicked into high gear with a photobooth, a churro bar (did I mention the churros?), and a dance floor that never quit. Casey and Carlos brought their A-game—from sweet moments to silly ones, their love radiated through every single frame. Their energy was contagious, and they kept the party going well into the night.

A Love-Filled Day to Remember

A Hacienda de las Flores wedding is always a treat, but Casey and Carlos’ special day? It was pure magic. From the stunning venue to the heartfelt details, and from the harpist’s heavenly melodies to the churro-filled fiesta, this wedding was one for the books. The heat didn’t stand a chance against the love and laughter that filled the air. Here’s to Casey and Carlos—and their epic, unforgettable celebration of love!
