Oak Farm Vineyard Wedding Lodi California the Ceremony

After the guests strolled down the "Welcoming" entry they were treated to refreshments at the beverage station before they were seated at the ceremony.



For the beautiful ceremony area at Oak Farm Vineyard, we had an architect design these amazing arches to create the feeling of an outdoor chapel. I do offer them for rent to Blooms brides:)
Blooms by Martha Andrews created a two tiered floral chandelier to be the focal point for the bride and groom to stand under while they took their vows.
We then placed tin buckets full of babies breath at the base of each arch. The guests were seated from on of three aisle ways. Then are beautiful bride entered from a path facing the guests while being escorted by her father.
The oak tree offered an amazing spot to be married.

I always tell my brides that the photographer is your most important vendor, they are the one who sill capture all the beauty of the day, all the hard work you have put into planning your wedding. I'm sure you agree that Tanja Lippert, one of the best I work with, did a fabulous job of creating images from this wedding day.
Tia Regan was instrumental in making all of the ladies of the day, mother of the bride, sister of the bride and grandmother look their very best with her great wedding hair and make up skills.
And of course choosing such a lovely wedding venue, Oakfarm Vineyard was one of the first smart choices our couple made.

Oak Farm Vineyard Wedding Lodi California part 1

What can I say, this was one of my favorite weddings this season. I was able to work with some of my favorite vendors and with a wonderful family.

The bridal bouquet was made up of cabbage roses, scabiosa pods, bouvadia and lysianthus.

I LOVE what Tia, the fabulous hair and makeup artist did with Ashely's hair, using the succulents was so unique

Love the floral embellishment on the bridal gown.

Ashley's family is so close and loving, it was a joy to be around them on the wedding day.

The guests were greeted at the gate with romantic moss and floral hearts.

A thank you note to make my day

On Saturday I did the flowers for the sister of my friend and fabulous wedding planner, Catriona of www.catrinamaria.com.

The wedding was at the beautiful River Highlands Ranch and there was a wonderful team of top notch wedding vendors! I can't wait to show you more photos.

But the point of this blog post is that the sweet bride and groom sent me an email in the wee hours of the morning. So thoughtful and just what I needed to start my week.

"We are about to leave on our honeymoon but before we take off I just had to let you know what a crazy beautiful amazing job you did. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes, everything was so gorgeous! Thank you so much for all your hard work, please let us know if there is anything we can do for you!

Marianne and Darwin"

Jennifer with the Memory Journalists was the amazing photographer of the day!

Our Wedding Magazine shoot...the photos

A few posts ago I showed you the magazine lay out for the Blooms feature in the Our Weddings Magazine. Today I want to share more of the images taken by Jennifer of http://www.memoryjournalists.com/
The design was created by office mate, Stephanie of /stephaniejdesigns.blogspot.com and myself. We had a lot of fun pulling from our grandmothers linen cupboards, searching antique stores for milk glass and depression glass. The setting was Wilson Vineyards in front of a lovely creek. We set our table under the tree and hung a floral wreath to define our space. Stephanie created all the labels for the soda bottles, champagne bottles etc...To me details make the decor, flower garlands on the backs of the chairs, the old ice chest lid graces with blooms.
I really love how it all came together!
