After scrolling through the endless amounts of beauty from today’s romantic affair at Fioli Gardens, captured by Amanda Crean Photography, you’ll understand why we did a total double-take when we saw this was an actual real wedding. To be honest, we’re still having trouble believing it – it’s just too perfect, thanks to the planning and design squad at Bustle Events. From the bride’s fashion-forward style to Amanda Vidmar’s floral magic, they’re so much to love about this day. Head on over to the full gallery to see it all!
From Bustle Events… Filoli Gardens was the most perfect setting for the couples vision of creating a modern twist on old money. The Gardens grounds is full of lush rose gardens, apple orchards, tulip meadows, historical brick mansion, expansive pool, pool house, sunken garden with pond and so much more. This property rivals none other.
The evening started with the guests being welcomed with passed champagne. The ceremony took place in front of the iconic historic mansion entrance. The bride walked herself down the aisle to greet her groom. Following the ceremony guests made their way to the sunken garden for cocktail hour where Paula Le Duc Fine Catering & Events served up hand crafted cocktails and enjoyed unique and delicious bites. Shortly after mingling with friends the guests were invited to dinner.
Long tables with delicate white embroidered linens filled the lawn next to the pool. To create the layers of luxury we layered abalone chargers and dinner plates topped with a golden velvet napkin. The beautiful floral menu adorn with wax seal affixing the calligraphed place card. Rustic brass flatware flanked the setting. The floral created by Amanda Vidmar was full of rich deep and moody shades of purple, orange, white, burgundy and yellow. After dining under the sunset guests danced the night away under the stars.
