With its green rolling hills, olive trees and suffusion of garden charm, Olive Hill Estate brings a taste of European flair to the Bay Area; it also serves as the serene setting for this lovely spread. “Since I was a little girl, my favorite things have always been very clear to me: simply my love for France and anything French, the color blue, anything toile and blue chinoiserie vessels,” says Le Bloomerie owner Melissa Sullivan of her inspiration. Here, she combines all her favorite things with decadent florals and newly trending green chinoiserie to refresh the aesthetic for the upcoming season. Among the stems used in the design scape are Nerine lilies, white sweet peas, hydrangea and garden roses, creating an ethereal vibe. “I hope the trend for 2025 and onward would be for brides to not just follow what they see as popular but to incorporate what they love, what inspires them to create a beautiful tablescape/wedding for their guests and future memories,” Sullivan concludes.
