Intimate Wedding in Cherry Blossoms | Allied Arts Guild
/What a treat it was to celebrate J & J’s special wedding day in cherry blossom season! Cherry blossoms are in full bloom now and we really are so lucky to enjoy cherry blossom trees here in the SF Bay Area. Though our planning timeline with J & J was short, we rolled with it and were able to accomplish every single detail of wedding planning - from venue hunting, to booking vendors, to planning and designing - in under 5 months!
We initially started planning for an elopement, but priorities shifted and we started working towards an intimate wedding. Boba, bagels, and spending time with loved ones were important to J & J, so we made sure to tastefully incorporate these details to the wedding design. Hosting their wedding in a beautiful garden led us to lean into natural elements. J & J both adored anemones and greenery we made sure to use them in all our florals! J & J also opted to for a private first dance with one another - we made use of a quiet fireside café room and J & J shared their first dance as newlyweds with just them and the music.
A wedding in March also meant that we had to prepare for rain. We had rain contingencies drafted up and communicated with vendors in advance so that everyone was prepared… BUT! We were so blessed to enjoy full sun and warm weather! Fortuitously, this warm weather allowed us to enjoy peak Cherry Blossom blooms. What makes cherry blossoms so beautiful and special is that their delicate light pink flowers only last for 1-2 weeks at most!
We are so grateful for the time we spent working together and getting to know this beautiful couple. Congratulations again to J & J!
