Welcome to my new venue highlight series! I will be introducing spaces one by one that I’ve worked at and loved. There are many amazing places for weddings in the Sierra Foothills and this week I am highlighting Hurst Ranch in Jamestown, CA — this beautiful ranch has rustic charm, mature landscape and a pretty pond that highlights their space.
As a wedding florist based in Sonora, I love designing for Hurst Ranch weddings because the venue offers so much natural beauty and room for creativity. From wildflower-inspired bouquets to romantic reception florals, every design feels right at home.
Hurst Ranch captures the spirit of the Sierra foothills perfectly — wide open spaces, a rustic but gorgeously finished barn, and nooks and cranny’s around the property that make a perfect photo op. The property blends country charm with sophistication, making it ideal for couples who want a wedding that feels warm, and welcoming.
As a floral designer, that means endless inspiration. I love creating arrangements that echo the ranch’s natural textures — soft meadow blooms, lush greenery, and organic, garden-style florals that feel like they are meant to be there.
Every wedding I design at Hurst Ranch feels different because the space itself is so versatile. Whether you’re envisioning:
A romantic garden ceremony beneath the trees
A modern rustic reception in the barn
A candlelit evening under string lights
… the ranch provides the perfect backdrop. We use seasonal blooms and tonal palettes that complement the time of year — pastel spring florals, sun-drenched summer tones, or warm autumn neutrals inspired by the rolling hills.
If you’re planning a Hurst Ranch wedding, our best advice is to lean into what the venue naturally offers. Embrace movement, texture, and local blooms — it’s what brings the setting to life.
