Um yeahhh, the gardens at Cal A Vie look pretty magical, don’t they? The ladies at Luxe Events knew they wanted to bring a little France to Southern California by embracing the authentic French vibes of the property. With florals, candles, and gold accents for décor and classically stylish bride + groom, we already feel far removed from the city. So happy Bryan Miller sent these romantic snaps our way!

This property quietly takes hold of your heart and sweeps you away to a French provincial countryside. The building itself, the furnishings, the flora in the gardens, are all imported from Europe. The venue is at once rustic yet also undeniably aristocratic.

A tablescape made up of fresh flowers by Blush Botanicals + gold touches…

We paired traditional French blue with blushes and gold. Picking the elements of the table setting, we felt it was important to stick to classic and dainty. Hostess Haven had the perfect delicate plates, flatware, and glassware.  rchive Rentals had a table and benches that looked meant for this space.
