_____California Backyard Garden Wedding_______

Lauren and Rob met and live in New York City but had their hearts set on a backyard California Wedding. Lauren's Aunt had the perfect Tuscan home to take on the task and contributed greatly to transforming the space into a gorgeous Wedding setting. The Ceremony took place on the lawn in the backyard framed by willow trees and under an existing arch that Adornments, Flowers and Finery enhanced with an abundance of white roses. Guests sat on rustic cross back chairs and the Groom's Uncle officiated the Ceremony. Cocktail Hour was in the patio off the backyard. Haute Catering served an assortment of Delish appetizers like stuffed jalapenos and in a nod to the Bride's paternal heritage, a live Hawaiian duo, the Kalama Brother's, played. When it was time for dinner, guests were moved into the front yard where bistro lights had been strung by All About Events and dangling ropes of lights were hung from the majestic oak trees by Lauren's parents and Aunt and Uncle. The tables were assigned via Burroughs of New York and were a mix of rounds and farmhouse tables {handmade by Lauren's Uncle}. Garlands graced the farmhouse tables and sweet, overflowing centerpieces in gold vintage vessels adorned the round tables. Family Style Dinner was followed by donuts from SLO Do. Co - galaxy, old fashioned and many more including an XL for Laurel and Rob to cut and feed one another. The celebrating continued late into the evening with DJ Malik Miko Thorne setting the tone and a late night snack of In N Out. Congrats to Lauren & Rob!
