Botanical Wedding at Marin Art and Garden Center

Newlyweds Fletcher and Christina celebrated their beautifully botanic wedding among lush greenery at the Marin Art and Garden Center. The two met in college at UC Santa Cruz, but didn’t start dating until later on. They were ever hopeful of marrying in 2020, but fate had different plans, and the couple was forced to reschedule multiple times. When the time was finally right in late October of 2021, Fletch and Tina enjoyed a gorgeous day amongst their friends and family. 

Despite the threat of rain inconveniently scheduled exactly at their ceremony time, energy was high the whole morning, and the couple trusted mother nature to hold off until after the vows. The clouds finally coalesced as the couple had their first kiss, and a dreamy mist descended on attendees. The light rain only added to a cozy atmosphere as cocktail hour took place under a light-strung canopy. The scatterings of fall leaves meshed perfectly with the dusty lavender, sage green, and soft yellow in the florals.

With ample college friends in the crowd, the reception was a truly enthusiastic festivity. The matrons of honor made a joint toast that summed up the newlywed’s perfect pairing—Fletch learning to turn the video games off and head to bed early to fit Tina’s preschool teacher lifestyle—and ended in a rendition of Frozen’s “Love is an Open Door” that had the whole room cheering.
