Today I am taking you to my favourite wedding destination, California, for the super fun and eclectic animal filled wedding of Cheryl and Jared. This fun-loving couple were married on 10th November 2017 at Reptacular Ranch in the hills behind Sylmar, California and their day is pure heaven. Together they collected so many amazing trinkets, decorations and lots of pretty goodies all of which adorned their outdoor, vintage loving wedding.
