As seen featured recently on Carats and Cake, Rachel and Brian’s gorgeous wedding at Solage Calistoga had an effortless beauty to it that we loved designing for our sweet couple!
Our initial design inspirations involved tons of images of loose textured florals, sophisticated tabletop details, and the use of lush greenery throughout. With the help of the incredibly talented team of vendors we assembled, the end result for Rachel and Brian’s wedding is still one of our favorites to date!
The two said ‘‘I do” on the lush outdoor lawn at Solage Resort where the venues beautiful green landscape provided us the perfect palette to draw inspiration from. Hawthorn Flower Studio designed a chuppah for the focal point of the ceremony using natural elements for the frame of the structure and covered it with loose rich greenery and florals in tones of white and deep burgundy. Rachel embodied timeless beauty as she walked down the aisle in her Mira Zwillinger gown to exchange vows with Brian.
The celebration continued with an indoor reception where guests would celebrate the newlyweds and enjoy an incredible menu and perfectly paired wines. Just as we had envisioned in the original concepts, the reception tablescapes were minimalistic yet sophisticated with their loose textured floral centerpieces and a pop of black by way of the beautiful chairs used. To distinguish the head table, we worked with Hawthorn Flower Studio and Got Light on a truly romantic lighting installation over the rectangular table. The installation included Edison bulbs hanging from varying lengths accompanied by leafy greens and white florals. With the candles lit and the Edison bulbs on, the ambiance was really something special!
