Northern California greenhouse wedding: Angela + Wing

There’s one thing you can’t escape in Northern California: gorgeous scenery and lush green foliage everywhere you look. For that reason, Angela + Wing had the best time planning an outdoor, woodsy themed wedding. Their venue, the Shelldance Orchid Gardens, a grouping of greenhouses filled with exotic plants, orchids and succulents was the best backdrop to their ceremony. And their reception? It was like something out of Alice in Wonderland – terrariums with mini mushrooms and ladybugs with table numbers wrapped in twine. As pretty as this wedding is, Angela reminds us,”It’s easy coming up with the ideas (the fun part), executing them is another story all together!”

We worked with Amy at The TreeSpace Studio on our invitations. I looked at many online stationers but had a hard time finding designs that fully conveyed our theme and aesthetic. Amy’s designs are colorful and whimsical which was totally in line with our theme, but what I love most is that her invitations are truly original hand-drawn works of art! Amy offered templates that we could pick from that costs less than starting a design from scratch (which she could do also), with end results that are still very original & unique. We decided on a design that highlighted our greenhouse venue.

Angela’s bouquet used chocolate cosmos, cymbidium, oncidium, coreopsis, scabiosa flowers & pods, uluhe (fiddlehead) fern, china berry, dianthus, echeveria, and maple leaves.
