Cat-Inspired Cocktails and Ranch Romance: A Summer Wedding to Remember

This sweet summertime wedding took place at a family friend’s horse ranch, where the couple transformed the arena into a stunning reception space. Rich purple and gold accents tied beautifully into the floral design, adding elegance to the rustic setting.

The ceremony was especially memorable—officiated by a family friend who incorporated a unique moment where all guests were invited to hug for ten seconds as he explained the endorphin-releasing magic of connection. It set the tone for an evening filled with warmth and joy.

After the “I do’s,” the couple headed to the house overlooking the arena for epic sunset photos, capturing the golden-hour glow across the ranch. Guests later danced the night away on a white-and-wood checkered dance floor and enjoyed a playful personal touch: a custom bar named the Catnip Cantina in honor of their two beloved cats.

An unforgettable blend of charm, personality, and summertime magic.

Moments We’ll Treasure from this Horse Ranch Wedding

✨ Favorite Moments from the Lucky Penny Team “We loved the closeness of the family and group, felt especially in the "hug for 10 seconds" part of the ceremony”.

🐈 A Couple’s Touch 🐈‍⬛ The Catnip Cantina, featuring drinks like Cowboy Calvin’s Spicy Margarita and Cinnamon Eleanor’s Jack and Coke, showcased the couple’s love for their cats front and center on their special day—and as fellow cat lovers, we were all here for it.

🎉 A Lucky Penny Moment A brief ring scare before the ceremony turned into a sweet memory when it was discovered on the bride's finger from first look photos all along—thanks to a calm team and a lot of love in the search.

🌿 Pro Tip for Future Couples If your have a pet that you can't bring your day, incorporate them in other ways such as bar drinks, cocktail napkins or even photos!
