Bringing The Outdoors In: Justine and Robert, II

April 16th. 2009 by Eddye | Filed Under | 3 comments

Now we want to show you a few of the specifics about Justine and Robert’s wedding at Nestldown in Los Gatos California from Little Black Book photographer, Gia Canali.

Justine & Robert really wanted an outdoor wedding, but opted to move inside for the reception since it’s a little chilly in northern California in October.  The floral designer, Valley Flora, did a tremendous job “bringing the outdoors in!”

These are just a few of the many individual floral arrangements from the reception …

Justine and Robert chose wonderful centerpieces that incorporated dahlias, orchids, pitcher plants, fresh in-season fruit, leaves, succulents, etc., in unique still-life style arrangements. I know I’m going a little overboard on the detail shots here … but I want to show the kind of variety I love, and how many natural elements were in their florals. Valley Flora from Napa did a wonderful job. These details were definitely “green” without being pretentious or showy.

Potted herbs adorned the outdoor cocktail tables and buffet created by Back to Earth Catering, which specializes in organic (and especially yummy) dishes from locally grown food.

And when you put it ALL together … voila! This is what you get!
