A Fresh Fall Wedding at Catalina View Gardens

Fall Garden Inspiration

When you think of a ‘fall wedding,’ what comes to mind? Rich harvest colors — orange, yellow, crimson + burgundy; perhaps burlap or flannel accents? Well, today we’ve got a new + fresh take on the traditional autumn wedding! This one is brimming with color, clean lines and exciting twists!!

First off, Catalina Garden Views served as the location; with the leaves on the vines just starting to turn, it couldn’t have been a more suited venue for a fall-inspired wedding editorial. To complement the stunning views of the harbor, garden and vines, Nicole Alexandra Designs wanted to combine modern lines and textures with the lush + organic elements of the environment. To refresh the color palette, soft blues and fuchsia were introduced, which paired perfectly with the traditional autumn hues. From the naked cake to the adorable mini apple pies, the dainty desserts added just a slight element of a rustic vibe!

Let’s take a look at all the autumnal goodness, photographed by Krista Mason!
