Backyard Wedding Reception with a Scottish twist

Wedding reception guests were greeted by a garland of white roses and blue thistle

Inside the door there was a memory tree with photos from memories the bridal couple have made over the years.

Blooms created little flower arrangements for the wedding guest tables, starting with birds nests. The bride and groom were married in Scotland so we brought in an ode to the Scottish wedding by using thistle and blue and green flowers

Further in were larger tables for the wedding guests with birdcages and little bird candles sitting on nests. We hung lanterns in blues and greens to illuminate the night.

Calistoga Ranch Wedding, Wine Cave Reception

Today the final installment of Blooms Calistoga Ranch wedding! The wedding reception was held in the wine cave. We hung over 25 mason jars filled with candles from the trellis as you entered. Then coming down the hallway of the cave we covered each alcove table with moss and filled in with lanterns, rosemary topiary, flower heads and candles. Candles make weddings so romantic! As each wedding guest came into the hallway, they selected their place card that was attached to a spoon or fork, carrying on the "Love Feast" theme that Jennifer and maciej choose for their wedding. Once in the cave guest were greeted with a feast for the eye. Garlands strung from the wine caves, chandeliers and sconces. Each wedding guest had a sprig of lavender and rosemary at their place setting as well as a wonderful oil and vinegar wedding favor. At Jennifer and Maciej's place setting we placed their initials created from moss. We created a table runner of moss and them filled the table with candles, floral centerpieces, topiary and moss balls. Jennifer and Maciej love cheese, they choose to have their wedding cake created to look like cheese rounds, fabulous!
