If you could dream up your most extraordinary, one of a kind wedding, what would you do? Neon signs? Disco balls? Ombre hydrangeas greeting you at the end of the aisle? Well Madi and Jordan dreamt up their perfect wedding and it had all of those things and MORE! Alongside the amazing design/coordination duo, Lovelyfest, Madi and Jordan brought their lavender, pink, and iridescent vision to life!

The 340 guests in attendance filled the flower lined peninsula. Idlewild went above and beyond when bringing Madi’s idea of a hydrangea filled ceremony to life. Madi has had a special place in her heart for the flower ever since she was young and visited the Azores, where her great-grandparents are from and where hydrangeas are a-plenty.

The most extravagant escort display we have ever laid eyes on welcomed guests to the courtyard for cocktail hour. Madi and Jordan “had a vision of creating a three dimensional, colorful escort display to match their fun wedding design” and Lovelyfest absolutely nailed it. They went all out for this signage and we couldn’t be any more in love with it!

Guests were seated under a canopy of lights on our Grand Lawn for dinner. The weather was perfect for an early evening dinner, with the space lighting up beautifully as the sun began to set. Dinner on the lawn brings such a different feel to the wedding while really taking advantage of what Greengate has to offer and we love when couples go that route!

Barn transformation, anyone?! We could not believe how all of the vendors came together to bring our barn to LIFE. If those disco balls could be permanently installed, we wouldn’t be mad about it! “The Hines” neon sign brought everyone into the party and the dessert display and great music kept everyone there! Every detail of this barn transformation was so thought out and well executed—and also gave us some serious inspo for the future!

Our latest feature in Martha Stewart is getting us excited and ready for Summer to arrive! This July 2019 wedding was “a big party with all of our favorite people, amazing food, drinks, and music," Cait says. "All, of course, in a beautiful setting.” In our opinion, there’s nothing better! Can anyone else hear All Summer Long playing in your head?

The secluded location of the pond was key in this serene, light-hearted ceremony. Decor that was “gentle on the senses” created an “overgrown, organic, garden-party feeling” says planner Vanessa Noel of Vanessa Noel Events. We couldn’t have imagined a better pairing than Avenue Twelve’s wooden garden chairs with our pond as a backdrop!

Cait and Fletch could not have dreamed up a more perfect central coast day. “The weather was amazing, the music was exactly as we envisioned, and we enjoyed being in a little bubble together with all our friends and loved ones” said Cait about her big day. Idlewild Floral adorned the space with smokebush, foliage, and textural, airy florals contributing to the most romantic, yet relaxed atmosphere.

As guests made their way down to cocktail hour in the courtyard they were greeted with this GORGEOUS lounge where they sat and enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, and each other! For their reception space, Cait & Fletch had a new and innovative vision for the barn. Aiming for a more natural look, they opted for muslin draping with white washed and gray beaded chandeliers. The barn is truly a blank canvas for brides to play with and we must say, what Cait, Fletch, and Vanessa dreamed up has been one of our absolute favorites!

The perfect day turned into a magical evening which quickly gave way to dancing the night away! Every chair in the barn was empty as family and friends got down to the Lucky Devils Band. The best ending to the best day!

Yes, yes, yes!!! So excited to get this gallery back and hear that it is up on Green Wedding Shoes for the world to see. This wedding was the perfect Sikh-American blend, equally as rich in color as it was in culture. What a fun weekend for Sonya and Mangal (and the rest of us who got to watch all of these elements come together into something so beautiful). There is no question this vendor team nailed it - from the signage to the florals and creative installations, we are swooning over it all.

Their Mehndi Night was held at the Ranch House, with guests welcomed out on the Vineyard Vista and a seated dinner behind on the Terrace Lawn. A few snaps of the Mehndi dinner can be seen below!

Ceremony and reception details were inspired and innovative. April Flowers threw a twist on some old-school floral classics with her ceremony and reception installation pieces. We definitely don’t mind seeing baby’s breathe and carnations around again if they look like these ones!

A colored carnation string installation framed the barn entrance. Nothing could have paired with it better than Paper Cake’s color bomb dessert variety display - yum! Enjoy more photos on the Green Wedding Shoes website.
