Eco Chic Vineyard Wedding
Our dear friends Claire and Justin recently tied the knot and I was so thrilled that they let Blooming Branch play a role in their wonderful wedding. As Claire and Justin both work for a winery, they had the honor of being able to hold their reception at the vineyard (a special gift reserved for only employees).
The weekend forecast was calling for rain all weekend so we were thrilled that we were able to get in the outdoor ceremony and get almost through the entire reception before our luck shifted. The severe thunderstorm was certainly an uninvited guest but ended up being a memorable moment for all. The bride loves storms and the party continued on in a nearby shelter with plenty of bottles of wine!
Claire and Justin chose our friends the Juniper Spoon to cater their big day and a local, grass fed hog was donated by a friend of the groom and the rest of the fare was local and organic and had a festive tropical note. All beer and wine at the reception were from the local winery and brewery and were mighty tasty. All table wares were rented and reused (those that didnt blow away in the storm-seriously!) and all bottles and cans were recycled. Biodegradable trash bags were used and food scraps were composted.
The Hunter Graham was an eco reception in a surreal setting and Blooming Branch was honored to plan such a green event in such an unbelievable setting!
