Myrtle & Marjoram Photography: Nature-Inspired California Wedding
Today, we are featuring Natalie and Brian’s beautiful outdoor wedding sent to us by the very talented Myrtle & Marjoram Photography …
This first image is probably my favorite! Ingrid does amazing things with trees in her photographs!
From the earlier post on Natalie and Brian’s wedding, you’ll remember that they had a small bridal party ~ just siblings who were allowed to wear anything they wanted. Natalie loves yellow and incorporated it into the flowers. The splashes of color in an otherwise naturally green surrounding is positively perfect!
Natalie’s precious dress is by Watters Brides and her cute yellow shoes are by Lumiani.
Flowers were by Art In Bloom … Event by Joy of Life Events … Makeup by Carola May …
Natalie & Brian were married at Empire Mine State Park in Grass Valley.
Ahhhhh! I would SO love to have been at Natalie & Brian’s wedding! Congratulations!!
And thank you Ingrid for sharing the joy and the serenity of their day!!

I am loving that cupcake/dessert stand. Any idea where they got it?

Hi Stephanie,
The cupcake stand is from Boss Manufacturing (www.bossmanufacturing.com). They have all kinds of cupcake stands. Ours was the "party tree."

Glad to see we already received the cake stand details, it's breath taking! I love love love that there was a donation made rather than a favor. This affair just looks so relaxed and laid back, it must have been a great event today. Bravo!!
The cupcake stands came from Boss Manufaturing in Chico, CA...they have a website.
The only problem we had was that they didn't hold a lot of cupckes so we used plates..

I am trying to find similar seating, instead of the typical white plastic chairs...where did you find the cute chairs?? I'm assuming you rented them?
Hi Rickey,
We rented the chairs (along with everything else) from Classic Party Rentals (www.classicpartyrentals.com). It's the French Slotted Chair.

I love love love the gray bridesmaid's dress. Any details on it's maker / brand / where it was purchased? thanks so much!
I have that dress! Its actually more of a gold color, though it looks grey in the photos. It's from Anthropologie.
I love the dresses and the cupcake stands...great photos!
Did you have a back up plan for rain? I want to do an outdoor wedding but am petrified of it raining on the big day.
Hi Bee,
Luckily it didn't rain and our backup plan of "it never rains in inland California in the summer" turned out to be true. That's one of the great things about California, but I realize that rain is a risk almost anywhere else. One thing we talked about doing was having a tent company "on call," so that if it did rain they could come in and set up a tent on the day of the wedding, but we wouldn't have to pay for it if we didn't end up needing it. Congrats to you and good luck planning your big day.

That dress could not be any sweeter! I love this wedding!
WOW , this is such a beautiful wedding . Its super romantic. I love the idea to get the Brides maide dresses at Anthropolgie, thats brilliant.
I just want to say what an amazing wedding it was to get to be a part of. I know I only did the hair but in that bit of time I had so much fun, your inner beauty inspired me. Thank You so Much!
