A Timeless Celebration of Love for Meredith and Andrew at Ojai Valley Inn
September 14, 2024
Meredith and Andrew Ferguson’s wedding at the iconic Ojai Valley Inn in California embodied a blend of classic elegance and heartfelt intimacy. Meredith graced the day in a breathtaking Vivienne Westwood gown, complete with a silk satin cape train—a piece that harmoniously complemented the serene beauty of the setting. She found her gown at Loho Bride in Los Angeles, a choice that grew on her over time. Although the gown wasn’t initially available in the exact fabric she envisioned, when her stylist sourced it in silk satin, Meredith knew this was the one. The dress embodied her perfectly: a balance of timeless simplicity with a touch of whimsy, through its delicate corset top and flowing cape.
One of Meredith’s most cherished moments was her walk down the aisle. With a scenic descent from a hilltop, she surprised guests by appearing at the top, silhouetted against the sky. “I felt like I was walking towards the gates of heaven,” Meredith reminisced. As she raised her bouquet with a joyful, “I’m coming!” her loved ones broke into applause, capturing the spirit of the day. Her father joined her at the aisle entrance to walk her down the rest of the way, adding a poignant touch to the already surreal moment.
Their ceremony was uniquely personal, with Meredith and Andrew each sharing extended vows that offered reflections on their journey together. These heartfelt declarations gave family and friends an intimate window into their love, which many later described as a highlight of the celebration. Meredith described it as “a moment that connected our guests to us in a way we’ll always cherish.”
After the wedding, Meredith entrusted Elegance Preserved to care for her treasured gown, hoping to save it as a future heirloom. She chose Elegance Preserved on the recommendation of a close friend, Agnes, who had entrusted her own gown to their care. Meredith valued their dedication to quality, knowing that her dress would receive expert cleaning and preservation, allowing it to remain as timeless as the memories from her wedding day. Elegance Preserved even offers beautiful wedding dress preservation boxes for brides who want to protect their wedding attire as a cherished family keepsake.
Meredith and Andrew’s wedding was more than a ceremony; it was a beautiful gathering of family and friends, set against the romantic backdrop of Ojai’s hills and valleys. Their day was filled with joy, laughter, and a sense of timeless romance—a memory they and their loved ones will cherish for years to come
