We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again… we love a bride who’s not afraid to go BIG. Big blooms, loud colors, and a creative wedding vision from beginning to end. Allow today’s citrus-inspired day in Sonoma to inspire your bolder side! Bari Elexa Events planned their colorful affair to perfection with the help of some floral magic from Freckled Floral (just waitttt until you see the escort card display you guys.) Swoon over every last detail at the full gallery, all captured by Olivia Marshall Photography!
From the planner Bari Elexa Events… Jane was the true epitome of a dream bride with a clear yet incredibly creative vision. Working in events herself, she knew how important every detail was and wanted to wow her guests at each twist and turn of her wedding day. The theme was key to her to tie it all together – a Citrus Inspired Garden Party. With a love for bold and bright colors, big blooms and lush floral, and all the yumminess citrus provides, Jane worked with her wedding planner, Bari Elexa Events, to bring her vision to life.
As guests arrived, they were welcomed into a flower filled garden with cascading citrus embellished signage, an endless floral walkway into an enchanting ceremony amongst the pond, and a reading of vows that had everyone wiping their eyes and filled with love. Guests would then flow between the ceremony to cocktail hour through an olive tree grove, and later on be welcomed into dinner by a beautiful bagpipe performance by the bride’s father, followed by a candle lit walkway lined with flowers to take guests to the dance floor and get the party started! Jane & Chris’ photographer, Olivia Marshall Photography, was there for each and every special moment, delicate kiss, and loving embrace.
The standout moment for guests was walking up to the custom citrus and bloom seating chart display created by Shimmer and Stain, adorned with floral from Freckled Floral. It was an epic backdrop for photos and a perfect nod to what guests could expect when they enter the dinner space and see all of the bride’s dreams come true.
Guests danced the night away under the starry night lighting display and officially welcomed “The Taylors” into their forever to come.
