Adam and Jessica were married at Ardenwood Farm in Fremont, CA.
I was introduced to Jessica by her awesome sister Melissa, who kept me calm and smiling while we worked together in a rather nightmarish Menlo Park office – but let’s save that story for another day…
The theme of the wedding was low-key organic style. It also had to be very budget conscious. With only two weeks to figure it all out I was nervous, but I was completely honored to be asked. The bride had her heart set on using some pretty big galvanized tubs for the flowers and I had a slight panic attack trying to figure out how to fill them with beautiful blooms and still stay within our budget. In the end, all 13 buckets were bursting with farm fresh, organic, and colorful blooms that complimented the bride’s orange and blue color scheme.
For the bridal bouquet I double wrapped the flowers in orange and blue ribbon and did the groom’s boutonniere in a blue silk wrap with the groomsmen sporting orange wrapped buds.
Thank God the car I was renting had just enough room to fit every single tub as the flowers had to be delivered over the freeway and across the bridge. When I arrived at the reception site, a really pretty outdoor garden, the crew doing the set up was shocked that such large displays would actually be centerpieces! Ah well, I heard from Melissa that the guests were so thrilled with them that they asked if they would be auctioned off! In the end, the bride didn’t even get one so, I feel like my work there was done.
I have only a few pictures but when I get the ones taken by the wedding photographer, I will post them!
All my best,
Melisa
