Petals and Promises - An Unforgettable Intimate Garden Wedding

The beauty of an intimate backyard garden wedding lies in its personalized touch. From selecting the perfect blooms that echo the couple's love story to arranging the seating in a way that fosters intimacy, every detail becomes a canvas for creativity. Planning begins with envisioning the garden’s transformation, from cozy nooks adorned with fairy lights to a dining area adorned with soft linens and fresh flowers. The couple can choose a theme that resonates with them – whether it's rustic charm, vintage elegance, or bohemian chic – and infuse the entire setting with elements that reflect their personalities.

Wedding day for Annie + scott

In the enchanting embrace of their own backyard, Annie & Scott orchestrated a celebration of love that bloomed in their own family’s backyard. With the help of Julie Dunn Events (JBD) the space was transformed - Tables dressed in soft blue linens welcomed guests with an aura of tranquility. Delicate garden florals set on each table created by Menlo Botanica- a harmonious blend of blush, white, and blues. The garden theme imbued every corner with nature's grace; a testament to the couple's commitment to nurturing their relationship just as the family had nurtured their garden.

The intimate gathering celebrated not just a union, but the beauty of simplicity, the warmth of togetherness, and the endless possibilities of a shared life rooted in love. In their own “garden of dreams”, the bride and groom planted the seeds of a future, destined to bloom as beautifully as the nature that surrounded them.

Nature truly was an active participant in the celebration, as it offered its own décor in the form of large trees and sunlight filtering through the leaves. The natural beauty of the garden provided an ethereal ambiance by creating an intimate atmosphere that was both romantic and serene. Amidst the fragrant blossoms, guests gathered on classic Chiavari chairs (all rentals provided by Bright Event Rentals) to witness the couple’s vows. A garden, with lush greenery and the sweet symphony of chirping birds, provided a picturesque backdrop.
