Rebecca & Nathan

Santa lucia preserve

From a color rich welcome party in the garden, to a chic and sculptural ceremony in the redwood grove, Rebecca and Nathan’s special day was replete with high style. Things started off with a joyful surge of red in the cutting garden on the expansive grounds of Santa Lucia Preserve. It was such fun to incorporate wiggly lotus pods and fringe-forward tree of heaven into the ceremony and reception spaces. Chocolate cosmos deepened the palette while oncidium orchids floated like stars. A canopy of twinkling lights added a dream-like quality, and all the details taken together were definitely a dream to behold.
