Saturated hues, edgy New York vibes, and a Southern California backdrop make for endless wedding day inspiration. Inspired by autumn in New York, Velvet Alley Events created a color story of amber, mustard, and ecru that will make your heart pump. No detail was spared, including floral choices by Besame Floral and Event Design based on the meaning behind each flower. Anya Kernes Photography’s beautiful imagery helps to bring this story to life. You’ll be delighted by all the details in the full gallery.

From Soltana of Velvet Alley Events… The Gardens at Los Robles Greens located in Southern California set the backdrop with its lovely blooming trees alluding to New York’s Central Park. The ceremony area’s details of the dark chestnut backdrop, lined brick, walls blanketed with vines, and majestic wrought iron gates were reminiscent of New York’s austere Brownstone neighborhoods.

Creating a story was the primary goal of Floral Designer Jazmin of Besame Floral and Event Design. Inspiration gleaned on the warm, transitional colors of Autumn and the symbolism of the blooms. Tawny Chrysanthemums in the bouquet symbolize loyalty and devotion. Sepia tinged garden roses represent warmth and stability. And plumes of Pampas Grass added a hint of Southern California coastal charm.

The bountiful tablescape accompanied with drapes of curtain fairy lights set the tone for an intimate, alfresco dining experience. And My Lovely Events created a chic, modern lounge vignette. Rounding out the décor is the neon “Love Made Us Do it” in cold, white LED as a playful commemoration to the nightscape billboard lights of Times Square.
