Sacramento Gallery Wedding from Botanica Floral Designs

Fish centerpieces and favors, boutonnieres made from vintage post cards, and a scrapbook station. These are just three of the multitude of seriously cool, seriously unique details from this Sacramento wedding. The team at Botanica Floral Designs alongside Kevin Cohee with Do An Event helped this couple create a fête like no other, borrowing inspiration from everything our bride and groom felt defined them as a couple and infusing it all into their wedding. It’s what we all strive for – a wedding that is unparalleled, that whispers the couples name from the save the dates all the way to the reception band. Thanks to The Memory Journalists, we all get to spend a little time with this fun couple. Head over the to gallery for more!

From Botanical Floral Designs … If I hadn’t heard it so many times before, I would have thought the phrase “better together” was coined for the union of Caitlin and Sean. This very cool couple are so happy together, it is palpable when you are in the same room with them. They happened to meet when both of them were in a place of “self discovery” and looking to make some positive changes in their lives. It was kizmet they felt when they chatted and realized they had so many important things in common and were absolutely on the same path. They formed a bond quickly and easily and never looked back. They’ve been hand in hand on that path ever since.

Their wedding was very much a reflection of their taste and style. The unique, artsy venue was the perfect location. They had a scrapbook station for guests to help commemorate their day. The food was vegetarian and their cupcake tower was made of all vegan cupcakes. Their fish theme was carried throughout the day including fish gobo’s swimming along the floor.

Vintage postcards were used as save the dates; carried into the wedding day, these postcards were also used as a base for the men’s boutonnieres. Berries and colored wiring along with beading added a touch of modernity to these personal flowers.

Instead of large tables for guests, smaller tables were spread throughout the art gallery to encourage mingling as well as exploring all the food stations, including a veggie station, noodle station, risotto station, coffee bar, and milkshake bar.

   I LOVE that they put on the save the date that it was an adult ceremony and reception. I did this with my own wedding and can't even explain how happy we were with our decision to make it a kid free day

   I LOVE the "scrapbook station" idea. I am definitely borrowing that for our wedding - what a great way to preserve the memory of your wedding day!

   This SMP site is offering an amazing window to the world of events for everyone...both out of and in the industry. Kudo's to Audrey of Botanica Floral Designs for showcasing Do An Event's "reception interrupted by a ceremony" photos.
   PS~ The groom is Vegan so Crisp Catering created an all Vegan menu for the reception - including the Milkshake Hour and late-night street tacos!

    Fabulous wedding! On the glass cylinder centerpieces that included a stem of bells of ireland and hypericum...were they filled with water? And was it 1 single piece with the goldfish bowl that perched atop it. How interesting and nature inspiring!

    Thanks Wedding Flowers Co.! The tall arrangements in the church had water just at the base of the tall cylinders. We simply used stickum which you can find at your local floral supplier, and placed a bubble bowl atop of the tall cylinder vase to get a custom look. Because we re-located these to the reception, less water and simplicity for transport was the key thought in making this an easy transition. So glad you liked it all!
