Danielle & Casey’s Wedding

We have been so excited to see a bunch of new weddings being submitted to us and we just fell in love with this beautiful and elegant wedding at Stern Grove in San Francisco!

Being a florist myself, I just fell in love with the composition of this bridal bouquet and its complimentary lapel flower for Casey from floral designer Montbretia.

And look at this!  At true outdoor reception with no tent!  I LOVE IT!  Bravo Danielle and Casey for braving that!

Beautiful centerpieces comprised of hydrangea, dahlias, lamb’s ear, fern curls and purple fritallaria accents. Gorgeous!

Then, they topped off the evening with tree saplings as eco-favors!
Congrats to Danielle and Casey on their wedding day and a big thanks to Wendy  Maclaurin Richardson for submitting these beautiful images!

Have a great weekend!

Bustle Event Design

bustle logo for paper

We are so excited about our wedding planner partner Erin in San Francisco & Napa Valley.  Having Erin as a vendor resource for our engaged couples in those areas will be key for fresh and new ideas for fabulous green weddings!

Erin Taylor

“After planning and designing my own vintage-inspired wedding, I decided to embark on the journey to begin Soiree – an event design and planning company with a new approach: I wanted my company to bring change to the event planning industry by creating less waste, utilizing sustainable products whenever possible, and partnering with other companies and vendors that do the same. I believe that even just one change to an event to be more “green” makes a difference.  I am passionate about bringing creativity and solid project coordination to your wedding or special event. Most importantly, I want to foster the indescribable joy of celebrating with loved ones at your event. My favorite part of the design process is to create a concept that speaks uniquely of the event and the people it honors. I have a Bachelors degree and studied business, art, communications and marketing. My goal is to make your special event seamless and memorable.”

A few of her favorite vendors are:
