From a sun-drenched ceremony in Healdsburg—where native plants and a naturalistic garden design bloomed with vibrant bursts of color—to an elegant alfresco dinner party adorned with dancing vines, C + A’s wedding was a seamless blend of minimalism and contemporary elegance.
C & A’s ceremony design drew inspiration from the venue’s landscapes, overgrown botanicals and naturalistic garden designs by Piet Oudolf. Featuring Mexican feather grass, hydrangea, sanguisorba, echinacea, locally grown lisianthus along with native plants such as blue grama grass and monkeyflower.

For cocktail hour, arrangements were presented in clean, functional vessels crafted by local artisans including Heath Ceramics and Gary Bodker, a nod to the couple’s appreciation for contemporary design. Floral selections emphasized sculptural lines and distinctive forms.
Reception florals carried a naturalistic yet minimalist aesthetic, with jasmine vines trailing across the tables, airy clematis dancing throughout, and cheerful pops of marigold adding warmth.
