First off, dear congratulations to our friend Sara who recently launched Golden Poppy Events! With Labor Day behind us, it’s safe to say that the summer season is coming to a close. But, it still is fun looking back on this vibrant summer-inspired styled shoot at the South Coast Botanic Garden.

The ceremony design set a true focal point for the overall shoot, using elements that were later integrated into the table scape for an effortless chic look. The design centered around French toile, featured a colorful and textured bouquet, gorgeous invitation suite, and the potted bougainvillea placed in front of the decadent dessert bar adding California flair! The rustic wooden table and blue china were perfectly complimented by overflowing pink centerpieces with pops of succulent greenery. This eclectic day was one for the record books!

This gorgeous wedding epitomizes summertime perfection! From their beachside ceremony to the palm tree backdrop, their big day truly was something special. The floral design centered around texture—and lots of it! Bright greens of all variations were layered with succulents and pops of fresh orange florals. And let’s not forget the bouquet! Sometimes, it’s fun to keep a bouquet one color, but really incorporate extreme texture differences to achieve a sophisticated, yet understated look. This bouquet was full of succulents and other greeneries to achieve this layered aesthetic. We’ll definitely keep these bright and fresh wedding arrangements in mind for future summer inspiration.
