An Earth-friendly wedding mixes nature and glamour with stunning results
Everything about Justine and Robert’s wedding was fresh, stylish, and eco-chic. Held at the romantic Nestldown estate in the Santa Cruz mountains, this event perfectly pairs a rustic, natural backdrop with glamorous details like Justine’s sexy Melissa Sweet wedding dress, and lush floral bouquets to match the fresh orange, green and purple palette. It was all photographed by Gia Canali, whose fantastic blog is a must-read for in-the-know wedding folks.
Vinny, the couple’s dog, was their ring bearer. He is SO handsome in his purple tie and ring pillow! And check out the fresh and stylish bridal party attire, which you can catch glimpses of behind Vinny.
I love how the couple went with mostly orange adornments for their simple and beautiful outdoor ceremony.
Potted herbs adorned the outdoor cocktail tables and buffet created by Back to Earth Catering, which specializes in Earth-friendly organic dishes made from locally grown ingredients.
Table centerpieces incorporated dahlias, orchids, pitcher plants, fresh in-season fruit, leaves, succulents, etc., in unique still-life style arrangements.
The bride and groom make their exit in her father’s classic Alfa Romeo…such a stylish car!
The photographer brought along an antique Italian parasol she found at a flea market in Miami that she had been saving for years for the perfect couple and a wedding that matched. The love is in the details! Thanks again to Gia Canali for sharing these great pics with us.
