mary and jason's wedding took place last october in lake arrowhead, california...it was actually such a small wedding, me and brian installed it by ourselves! we took a leisurely drive up the mountain, enjoying the first signs of fall in southern california...every tree we passed that had actually changed colors, i squealed with glee...here in orange county, we don't get the luxury of green leaves morphing into ambers, rusts and golds...so i have to take what i can get people! :)
the celebration took place at the lake arrowhead resort and spa, with a color scheme of eggplant, plum, lavender and chocolate brown...we went with a bit of a rustic feel by bringing in some wood boxes and twigs...but overall the vibe was tailored, rich and just plain pretty...
the bridal bouquet consisted of plum dahlias, eggplant mini calas, lavender ranunculas and purple tulips...
the bridesmaids bouquets were similar to the bridal bouquet but we removed the lavender ranunculas and added chocolate brown cymbidium orchids for a darker, richer look...
traditional lawn games were set up overlooking the lake...
the cocktail tables each held a little brown wood box packed full of plum dahlias, purple tulips, eggplant mini calas and mini purple allium balls...
the placecards were set in a low dark brown wood tray filled with coffee beans and petite clusters of eggplant and plum theme flowers, along with some chocolate brown cymbidium orchids and baby purple artichokes...
the centerpieces were made up of a trio of custom made brown wood boxes, ranging in height from 4"-8"...each box held dark cotilla leaves, plum dahlias, baby purple artichokes, mini purple allium balls, eggplant mini calas, chocolate brown cymbidium orchids, purple tulips and a few brown twigs to add a bit of a rustic feel...
the dessert station had everything from chocolate covered pretzels, to brownies, to jelly beans, to coconut cake!
the light outside made for some gorgeous shots of the couple!
this event was so much fun because of the following ladies - i love when it feels like i am hanging out with friends rather than working!
