California Garden Wedding

Pin it 19

I have a small love affair with derby style hats. Unfortunately, I don’t have many opportunities to wear them, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to see the lovely wedding of Alan and Ani from photographer, Ian Villaceran. I just can’t resist a wedding with pretty pastels, garden hats, and afternoon tea…

Alan and I met on eharmony in November 2008. Alan was in San Diego and I was in San Francisco. We flew back and forth for more than a year getting to know one another’s city and hearts. When Alan proposed in Butchart Gardens near Victoria, Canada, I knew our wedding also would be in a beautiful garden.

Dress: Elizabeth Fillmore
Shoes: Badgely Mischka
Hairpiece: Lily Lafleur
Groom’s Suit: Hugo Boss
Groom’s Tie: Robert Talbott
Flowers: Megan Haney Designs
Photography: Ian Villaceran

Ooooh the bride’s hat is stunning – I’d love something similar for mine in October. I’m also requesting our guests wear hats/headgear.

Gorgeous wedding. I love that the bride wore Elizabeth Fillmore because that is who I wore too. I feel like we belong in a club together.
Oddly enough, I bought my dress used from Once Wed ;)

Ok I love the bride’s hat. In fact there is a cool hat on the chair, it’s the next to the last picture. Hatastic!

Lovely pictures! :)
So jealous of those tea/coffee urns. Would have loved to have found something like that before buying the plain one we have. :'(
