Christine and Victor's Wedding
Christine and Victor were married at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Downtown Sacramento in December 2019. They had an elegant rustic-style wedding celebration. Their event was held on the top story of the hotel, which had an event space with panoramic windows that had gorgeous views of downtown Sacramento.
The color palette was emerald green, mint green, ivory, and gold. They incorporated trendy greenery decor elements all throughout the event. The entrance to the wedding aisle featured an ivory drape decorated with greenery garlands. Greenery garlands with ivory flowers lined the wedding ceremony aisle and also served as a beautiful table runner on the head table. The centerpieces on the guest tables incorporated eucalyptus greenery as well. And the gorgeous bride wore a beautiful greenery crown with ivory flowers in her hair and carried a matching bouquet.
Lighting was also an important design feature. Nestled in the greenery garlands that lined the wedding aisle were clear glass vases featuring gold details, which were filled with delicate fairy lights. These vases were also included on the head table and guest tables as well. And all throughout the room were strategically placed amber-colored uplights, which combined with the fairy lights gave the room a soft, romantic glow. They also had a personalized monogram projected into the center of the room.
The focal point of their reception was their delicious dessert table. There was a beautiful two-tiered cake for the bride and groom, which had green and white marbled frosting with gold foil accents. The able also included cake pops, mini-cupcakes, chocolate-covered strawberries, and personalized M&M's. And because the groom recently graduated from the CHP academy, it also included a small donut wall.
