Timber Cove Resort, Sonoma Coast, CA
RONNIE & BEN’S WEDDING
There’s no match for the mid-century elegance of Timber Cove: a modern-rustic resort and luxury wedding venue tucked along the Sonoma Coast.
Timber Cove is a one-of-a-kind hotel perched on a dramatic bluff high above the Pacific Ocean. Situated along the rugged Sonoma coastline, Timber Cove is a breathtaking luxury venue that allows guests to embrace nature while relaxing in a casual, sophisticated space.
This luxury California wedding venue is a perfect reflection of our couple, Ronnie and Ben, who love to enjoy the finer things in life, but they always find themselves drawn to the quiet simplicity of the ocean. Ronnie and Ben planned their wedding to be warm and intimate, while still being luxuriously celebrated. At Timber Cove, the venue’s warm hues and sturdy timbers throughout the property exude cozy elegance, which inspired our wedding design.
When we started designing this wedding at Timber Cove, we knew our couple wanted to pair extravagance with a lowkey vibe that reflected their love for the natural beauty of the Sonoma Coast. Ronnie and Ben wanted their day to feel cozy and rustic, and we loved this opportunity to completely reinterpret what “rustic” looks like in the context of a luxury coastal wedding – we’re all about pushing boundaries and bringing a new look and feel to luxury weddings.
Our ceremony design was inspired by Timber Cove’s succulent garden, set amongst the coastal cliffs. We loved working with Selva Floral to bring our upscale, rugged coastal vision to life by creating wild floral installations lining along the aisles – leading up to a lush floral-adorned wood chuppah. The delicate garden-inspired seating paired with organic grass and floral installations created the perfect backdrop for a ceremony to remember.
After the ceremony, guests wandered the Timber Cove property to enjoy cocktails and live music on the deck. We knew the reception was going to be a highlight of the wedding weekend experience (our couple set a high bar after treating their guests to incredible experiences including morning yoga, wine tasting and guided hiking), so we went all out designing a luxury reception area with a sailcloth tent and a blanket of twinkle lights. A picturesque snapshot of seaside elegance.
Our luxury tablescape design featured natural linen runners topped with organic floral arrangements featuring succulents, natural grasses and ivory blooms. We elevated the natural, coastal vibes by incorporating pops of ocean-inspired teals and greens and romantic blue hues. Every detail was intentional, everything from the natural wood chargers to the turquoise linen napkins to the engraved wood menus works in tandem to strike a perfect balance of trendiness and subtlety.
Our favorite part of the job is hearing our clients tell us their hopes and dreams and then turning into reality, times 100. And as Ronnie and Ben spent the evening in a starry night tent with their closest people (and their dogs), we couldn’t have been happier to be part of this weekend filled with cocktails, music and nature. Completely enchanted and wild, this luxury wedding at Timber Cove stands apart.
