Real Wedding: Soft Ivories and Romantic Greenery in the Malibu Hills

Private estates offer a one-of-a-kind, “Where is that?”-esque sense of sanctuary to a couple’s wedding day. For this event, the couple had their wedding at a private estate in Malibu, with a stunning backdrop of rolling hills and ocean waves. We created florals rich in texture and romantic greenery.

The textures, colors, and overall inspiration of the wedding floral design was rustic and organic, as if the bouquets and design grew naturally from the surrounding hills. To create this look, we used ivory spray roses, roses, veronica, and varieties of greenery. The showpiece of this wedding was the half-crown backdrop of tall white florals and greenery, embracing the couple as they exchanged vows.

The blush bridesmaid dresses worked perfectly with the textural, soft ivory and green bouquets.

This ‘crown’ backdrop of tall white wildflowers, ivory roses, hydrangea, and greenery felt natural amidst the landscape of this beautiful property.

Smart’s Party Rentals provided a combination of long and round tables with dove gray linens, mint green napkins, and dark wood rustic tables. The dark wood theme continued in the boxes we used for our centerpieces, which featured queen anne’s lace, veronica, and a blend of gorgeous greenery. Runners of olive branches and seeded eucalyptus lined the long tables.

Another stunning aspect of the floral design were these overflowing table runners, spilling into a wild, romantic arrangement of white flowers and rustic greenery.
