Colorful magenta golf course reception
Event designer Pocketful of Plans created a truly vibrant and luxurious reception at Tehama Golf Club, filled to the brim with lavish florals from Fleurs du Soleil. Bougainvillea was the main inspiration behind the vibrant pink and red florals. Colorful bouquets hung from the ceilings, were woven into lanterns, arranged in colorful pottery, and even danced on top of their wedding cake.
The chic rentals from Copper Rose, Theoni, and Chic Event Rentals paired beautifully with the blue & cream linens from La Tavola Linen.
“Kirk and Laura also constructed an incredible DIY seating chart display. Kirk and his family are farmers and chose to incorporate their own family-farmed almonds as wedding favors. Elegantly, their display boasts the cheeky slogan, “You’re the cream of our crop,” constructed to greet their guests with delightful gifts.” – Pocketful of Plans
