From Natalie Choi Events... Who says garden weddings are only supposed to happen in the spring? Sherry and Robert’s autumnal garden wedding certainly proves that wrong! Their wedding took place at Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, and their moody autumnal color palette accented the gardens perfectly.
Their floral design by Hawthorn Flower Studio featured fall foliage paired with creamy blooms, which were balanced with pale grey tablescapes and hints of gold. Sherry walked down the tree-lined aisle to the music of their string trio, escorted by both of her parents (also, isn’t her mom’s traditional hanbok just the prettiest?).
During cocktail hour, guests sipped on drinks mixed up by the Bar Car while enjoying appetizers by Capelo’s Barbecue. Sherry and Robert wanted a relaxed atmosphere for their wedding, and chose all of their food and beverage vendors from among food trucks they typically enjoy together. Their reception tables were set with a mixture of floral centerpieces and arrangements comprised of pillar candles and greenery to add a warm ambiance to their al fresco dinner.
After guests dined on the garden patio, they were treated to fresh doughnuts and coffee from Johnny Doughnuts and headed inside to dance the night away. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, Sherry & Robert decided on a two-tiered giant doughnut cake accented with florals tying in to their arrangements.
The dreamy qualities of their wedding were brought out in the film images captured on film by Meiwen, and in the video shot entirely on Super 8 film by Lenny!
