I think there’s something about natural beauty that screams true love. Our hope was that this design not only showcases the undeniable elegance of nature, but also celebrates authenticity.
Inspired by the beauty and serenity of an outdoor Southern California garden, Jezyrose Boediarto of Layunin Events teamed up with Sarah Kuhlberg of Colette’s Catering and Ebell of Santa Ana to bring this romantic vision to life. The invitations set the tone with earthy color palette of white, tan and green, with the flowers bring in warm hues of peach, pink and yellow. The organically designed florals evoke the charm of an elegant garden with florals tucked into neutral-toned ceramic pots.
“We curated harmonious tablescapes, delightful vegetable- and fruit-centric food stations, and an elegant wine and cheese pairing bar, all coming together to showcase a day of ethereal romance and communion with nature.” – Sarah Kuhlberg, creative marketing director, Colette’s Catering and Ebell of Santa Ana
“It’s truly a visual journey that captures the essence of a blooming springtime celebration.” – Sarah Kuhlberg, creative marketing director, Colette’s Catering and Ebell of Santa Ana
With an eye toward nature’s bounty, a colorful array of vegetable- and fruit-centric food stations serve as a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The menu is infused with a sense of freshness, vitality and harmony with nature. The centerpieces incorporate moss and a whimsical arrangement of white nestled with warm hues. With an eye to common textures found in a garden, the tabletop is decorated with ceramic pot table numbers, rattan placemats and herb-accented menus alongside recycled glassware, stoneware plates, wooden flatware and bistro wood chairs.
A modern take on the traditional sweetheart table, this sweetheart lounge invites the couple to dine, relax and enjoy. It serves as the perfect accompaniment to a garden setting, decorated with wicker baskets, a wood coffee table, a jute rug and a cane sofa, all complemented by lush garden floral arrangements. Equally perfect for the occasion is a rose-patterned cake adorned with a dainty spiral vine.
