Colorful Private Ranch Wedding in Ocklawaha

December 7, 2024

Real Love Stories

The Brumleys’ wedding was everything you’d hope for from a celebration set on their family beef ranch in Ocklawaha— warm, personal, down-to-earth, and full of heart. But what made it truly unforgettable was the explosion of color, intention, and emotion woven into every part of their day.

Picture this: guests arriving via a hay bale tractor ride through the fields, rolling up to a ceremony space surrounded by open skies and golden grass. It was the perfect mix of western charm and vibrant joy for their ranch wedding in Ocklawaha.

The bride? Absolutely stunning in a timeless gown paired with a dreamy cathedral veil that danced in the breeze. Her bouquet was a wild, colorful arrangement of blooms — each flower chosen with care, honoring her roots and spirit. Tucked into the stems was a cherished photo of her mom who recently passed, so she was by her side every part of the day. Instead of a traditional bouquet toss, she dedicated it back to her — a moment that felt sacred and full of love. Every bridesmaid carried a monochromatic bouquet, each one different, yet beautifully cohesive — a rainbow of wildflowers surrounding the bride like a celebration of connection and individuality. The whole setup was bursting with personality and color against the rustic backdrop of the ranch. As the sun dipped low, the party didn’t slow down. The night wrapped up with dreamy dancing under the stars — string lights swaying overhead, boots kicking up dust, and laughter echoing across the open fields during this memorable ranch wedding in Ocklawaha. It felt like a scene from a country song in the best possible way.

This day was a perfect reflection of who they are — colorful, grounded, joyfully untraditional, and full of love that runs deep. If you’re looking for wedding photos like these, contact me here!
