A Glamorous Outdoor Summer Wedding Reception in White & Gold: Sara & Jamal
Sara and Jamal’s luxe white and gold summer wedding was both opulent and incredibly personal. The celebration took place at Jamal’s family estate in Los Gatos, and we pulled inspiration for the wedding’s floral and decor style from the clean, elegant look of the property.
Working alongside Kat Minassi Events, we constructed a huge fabric draped tent for the reception and filled it with layer upon layer of white wedding florals. Dramatic white floral centerpieces made from roses, orchids and hydrangea rose above each table, some in clear glass vases and others sitting atop modern gold and copper floral stands. Over the dance floor we created a dramatic and romantic ceiling treatment of draping white wisteria with crystal chandeliers and individual crystals hung with white satin ribbon. It made the dance floor feel like a magical place where the guests danced all night!
I love using gold and clear crystal accents to elevate the white wedding color palette - they add depth and interest to a clean, modern atmosphere. At this event, sparkling glass candelabras lined the long dining tables, place settings contained gold flatware and gold-rimmed glass chargers, guests sat in clear Chiavari “Napoleon” chairs, and even the property’s pool was covered with a glass platform.
To anchor one end of the outdoor room, I created a large asymmetrical floral frame that showcased the beautiful tiered white wedding cake, and created the perfect backdrop for Sara and Jamal’s private dining table.
