A summer wedding at Rancho Valencia is effortlessly romantic, but Kate and Cole brought an extra dose of Old Hollywood glamour to the iconic Rancho Santa Fe resort. Kate wore a striking Monetre gown with a corseted bodice and exaggerated skirt that created a dramatic, sculptural silhouette. Paired with Cole’s classic black tuxedo, their wedding style felt sophisticated, timeless, and perfectly suited to the lush surroundings of the resort.
Their ceremony took place on the Sunrise Terrace, surrounded by an abundance of white blooms that created a romantic, monochromatic setting for their vows. As the summer sun began to set, guests moved to the Croquet Lawn for cocktails followed by an elegant dinner under the stars. With candlelight, warm summer air, and the refined luxury Rancho Valencia is known for, the evening felt like a scene from a classic Hollywood film – blending timeless glamour and romance.
