We are obsessed with the romantic Bohemian Afternoon-styled shoot at Paradise Ranch and Retreat, beautifully captured by Rachel Comden Photography. Nestled in the serene countryside, Paradise Ranch set the perfect stage for this boho-chic styled wedding shoot. The tranquil backdrop of nature, combined with the artistic elements, created a dreamy and romantic ambiance that was captured beautifully in every frame.
Florals & Decor
Carmela’s Flower Company outdid themselves with the florals and décor. The arrangement of soft, neutral tones with hints of blush and cream added an ethereal touch to the setup.
The sweetheart table was a charming focal point, featuring a cozy rattan loveseat draped with ivory pillows and throws and a table adorned with simple, neutral linens. Surrounded by white candlesticks and a lush arrangement of pampas grass and dried flowers, this setup created a romantic and inviting atmosphere that blended seamlessly with the ranch’s natural setting.
The stone archway, complemented by a wicker planter filled with pampas grass, provided a rustic yet elegant backdrop. The couple also enjoyed a sweet moment by the fence line, with the horses adding a charming touch to the scene.
Did we mention Horses!?!
Paradise Ranch and Retreat is an Equestrian Farm, so it was no surprise when the horses decided to be part of the shoot. Mady and Zeke enjoyed a sweet moment by the fence line, and the horses added a charming touch to the scene.
Braids and Blush’s beauty vision for Mady fits perfectly within this romantic scene!

I created a look that I felt complimented the dress best. I chose to do a very textured, loose updo with a fishtail braid on one side. This classic boho style was the perfect choice. I can’t imagine any other style matching the vibe more. For her makeup, I continued with the boho theme. I wanted the focus to be on her eyes, using bronze and mauve tones and continuing to use similar tones throughout the rest of the look to keep everything cohesive. And it was so gorgeous!
The Couple – Mady + Zeke
The bride wore the “Sienna” dress, a masterpiece of intricate lace and delicate embroidery. Featuring a fitted silhouette with long sleeves, the dress added a touch of sophistication to the bohemian style. The flowing train and sheer details gave the dress an ethereal quality, making the bride look like she stepped out of a fairy tale. The “Sienna” dress was the perfect choice for this styled shoot, flawlessly blending elegance and boho charm.
Complementing the bride’s elegant look, the groom wore a classic brown suit paired with a crisp white shirt. His polished yet relaxed attire embodied the essence of boho sophistication. The simple boutonniere, crafted by Carmela’s Flower Company, featured a delicate arrangement that matched the bridal bouquet, tying their looks together seamlessly. His effortlessly stylish ensemble perfectly matched the rustic elegance of the shoot.
From the breathtaking venue and exquisite florals to the stunning dress and flawless beauty styling, every detail of this shoot showcases how nature and artistry come together to create unforgettable wedding moments. We hope this inspires you as you plan your own special day!
