Lexi + Peter

When the bride is a floral designer, you know the wedding florals are going to be extraordinary—and Lexi and Peter’s vibrant spring celebration at GreenGate Ranch & Vineyard did not disappoint. Thoughtfully designed and joyfully executed, their wedding brought together modern elegance and whimsical flair in a way that was as colorful as it was unforgettable. From a heartfelt ceremony at the pond to a playful reception in the stables, this day was a love letter to spring—and to love itself.

Lexi, a talented florist, partnered with Precious and Blooming to bring her floral-forward vision to life. The palette? All shades of pink—from soft blush to bright pink peonies — offset by the rich, natural greens of the ranch’s springtime landscape. This contrast created a dreamy, garden-inspired setting that felt like it had bloomed just for them.

The ceremony was nestled beside the pond, where the couple exchanged vows surrounded by the fresh beauty of Greengate’s rolling hills, blooming trees, and layered florals that lined the aisle and altar space.

The design shifted dramatically for the reception, held in the iconic white-walled stables. Lexi embraced the blank canvas and filled it with spring color—stand out florals, modern place settings, and playful details (like the pink bar) that popped against the minimalist backdrop.

This contrast between the organic outdoor ceremony and the refined, yet whimsical reception perfectly embodied Lexi and Peter’s style: feminine, fun, and fabulously modern.

Lexi and Peter’s wedding reminds us how powerful personal style and creativity can be when paired with the versatility of Greengate Ranch & Vineyard. Whether it’s a lush spring ceremony by the pond or a modern, color-drenched reception in the stables, our venue is a canvas ready for each couple’s unique vision.
