Caitlin + Patrick | Michelle Flores Photography | San Diego Botanical Garden


 

Romantic Garden Getaway!

Working in collaboration with Perfect The Event, Event Planning Services, we were honored to be part of Patrick and Caitlin’s gorgeous wedding and reception at the San Diego Botanical Garden! The event was a whirlwind of twinkling market lights, fantastic vendor cooperation, and watching the guests dance the night away.

 

To start the day off, Patrick and Caitlin waited anxiously for their private First Look at each other. Michelle Flores Photography expertly captured this tender moment!

Bride and Groom First Look

The First Look with Michelle Flores Photography stole our hearts!

The Walled Garden is tucked away from visitors of the Botanical garden, offering a secluded and beautiful spot for intimate wedding ceremonies. Mulberry & Moss decorated the space for the ceremony using romantic bundles of white flowers greenery to match the surrounding natural beauty of the park.

Everyone cheered for the happy couple as they walked back down the aisle as Husband and Wife. Our favorite part of the ceremony is this “I Do” Glow on their faces!

While the newlyweds and bridal party finished up their photoshoot, guests made their way down to the reception area for our signature craft cocktails and fresh appetizers made on-site!

The Gazebo Garden offers plenty of outdoor space for a larger guest count, plus all of the happy couple’s favorite food stations that we offer! Offering their guests “the works,” we had the pleasure of offering several food stations at cocktail hour during dinner service.

Guests got their fill of our delicious Taco Bar, extensive Salad Station, savory Trip-Tip station, and deluxe–made-to-order–Pasta Station! No matter the food preferences or dietary restrictions, we made sure there was plenty for everyone.

After dinner, Soundwave Productions kept the dance floor grooving, and Susie Cakes shared their tasty treats with the crowd! As the guests partied the night away, the newlyweds enjoyed dancing with everyone under the stars.

 

We’re so happy for these lovebirds and wish them all the best in their bright future together!

Kelli & Ruben at San Diego Botanical Gardens

We just can not get over this wedding that we had for K + R at the San Diego Botanical Gardens. Let’s just say this day had gorgeous written ALL over it! Every little detail captured our attention. The blooms by AE floral were divinely displayed from the ceremony to the reception, and do not let us forget those luscious bouquets – absolutely jaw dropping! The table settings were perfectly put together with white and Rattan Chargers. Favors of oil and rosemary made a fine compliment for their guests, and just the venue itself called for the perfect setting for everything this couple imagined on their big day.

Get ready for a whole lot of prettiness from these shots by the talented Sposto Photography!

Dana & Chris at San Diego Botanic Gardens

Beauty at the San Diego Botanic Gardens for D + C’s big day! They always say October is the best time to get married, and this couple’s wedding lived up to that – the weather, the colors and the greenery from the venue itself made a statement. The ceremony displayed a beautiful arch with soft blush and ivory floral. A touch of blue and lanterns strung on market lights presented for an eye-catching reception, along with gourmet stations for their guests to indulge in. DJ Mike Hogan brought everyone to the dance floor to end a beautiful night. Thank you Meuruer Image Photography for the shots of D + C’s wedding!

Here’s another beautiful San Diego Botanic Garden wedding! Kim and Nate chose tons of little details that matched this venue perfectly. We love the succulent boutonnieres, bouquets and centerpieces, along with the gorgeous purple flowers on their wedding arch.

San Diego Botanic Garden Venue Spotlight

This week we’re featuring the San Diego Botanic Garden as one of our favorite wedding venues! This  venue is so gorgeous and has so many different locations on site, which gives couples a ton of different options for their wedding. The walled garden is the perfect ceremony site. Couples can choose to have their cocktail hour in the herb garden, lawn house garden, or the gazebo lawn. Then the reception continues with dinner and dancing on the gazebo lawn!
We love the gazebo where couples can put their dessert station, guestbook table, or even a photo booth. See below for some highlights from this stunning venue!

Alex & Joel at San Diego Botanic Gardens

Alex and Joel thought of absolutely everything for their wedding at the San Diego Botanic Garden! Blush, ivory and sage were perfect wedding colors for this venue and the Gazebo Lawn was complete with white chiavari chairs and pretty market lighting. They chose a baby bellini and apple ginger sparkler as their signature drinks, which were a huge hit.

Ashley and Jordan at San Diego Botanic Garden

We’re so happy we could spend the day with Ashley and Jordan at the San Diego Botanic Garden! The day started off with a beautiful ceremony in the Walled Garden, followed by cocktail hour in the Lawn House and the reception on the Gazebo Lawn. The bride and groom sat with the bridal party at a head table, which was adorned with garland and pretty signage. A chandelier hung above the bride and groom’s seats and market lighting was displayed across the lawn. They incorporated the floral theme of the venue by giving their guests flower seeds as wedding favors.

Not only was this a gorgeous wedding, but it was also full of fun and creative ideas. Instead of a traditional guestbook, guests wrote notes to the bride and groom on jenga pieces. The couple also prepared a special wedding coloring book with crayons and set them at each place setting on the kids table. Along with a two tiered wedding cake, there was a delicious assortment of gourmet desserts for the bride and groom to share with their guests!
