The Holly Farm isn’t just a wedding venue - it’s an escape. Towering palms, tropical greenery, and warm golden light made every corner feel like a hidden oasis.

Groovy Meets Glam - A Vision by Atlas Design Studio

Atlas Design Studios brought the couple’s “Peace, Love, and Forever” theme to life with a bold yet tasteful mix of 70s-inspired details. Think flower crowns, velvet lounge seating, macrame accents, disco balls catching the afternoon sun, and a color palette of warm oranges, mustard yellows, and soft blush tones.

The ceremony took place beneath the towering palms and honeysuckle, with an arch covered in fringe and vibrant marigolds. The entire ceremony scene looked like it bloomed straight out of a retro California dream. Guests were greeted with with vintage-style welcome signs and cocktails served in glassware worth of a record sleeve photoshoot.

Golden Hour Magic

As the sun dipped behind the Carmel hills, the golden hour glow lit up the venue like a scene from a movie. This is when The Holly Farm truly shines - its mix of tropical foliage and natural wood textures creates a warm, romantic setting that feels both timeless and free-spirited.
It was the perfect moment for intimate couples portraits, with the last rays of light dancing off the disco balls strung above the courtyard.

The Dance Floor: A 70s Time Machine

When DJ Christie kicked off the night, the courtyard turned into a retro dance party. Guests in patterned dresses and wide-lapel jackets let loose under giant glowing disco balls and twinkling string lights. It was one of those weddings where the dance floor never emptied - a true testament to the couple’s energy and the incredible atmosphere Atlas Design Studios curated.
