Rustic Garden Wedding Inspiration

Olive Hill Inspiration

Woodside, California is a very special old-time saloon town located on the San Francisco Peninsula, with some of the most well-preserved historical buildings around. It is also home to a gorgeous, sprawling garden, known as Olive Hill, which was the perfect place to stage a setting filled with rustic design elements + a romantic, cultivated garden feel.

Photographer, Adriana Klas (who’s mother owns the beautiful garden!), and designer, Gillian Shenon, both grew up in Woodside + were excited to team up to bring their ideas for this editorial to life. Gillian says, My idea was to create a cocktail party around the garden’s pool, with colors that would compliment the cool blue water. I was inspired by a bartender in Saint Helena, who makes special artisanal cocktails, incorporating herbs and edible flowers, and felt that would be my place to begin. When you design a shoot, you hold the ideas in your mind until finally you execute, and I have to say this was more wonderful than I could have imagined – the scale was perfect!
