Redwoods Wedding In Watercolour Tones

It’s been said that when you find the love of your life, you just know – that’s what happened to Clara Kim when she ran into Patrick Chen with mutual friends on the streets of New York City. “I distinctively remember looking up and him and thinking: It happened! I finally met my future husband!” she says. After dating for some time, an engagement was on the cards, but Patrick still managed to surprise his bride with a New Year’s Eve proposal, and as they rung in the new year as husband-and-wife-to-be, Clara’s premonition finally became a reality. For their wedding, the big city couple chose to celebrate their new home in Northern California, with an elegantly rustic barn venue and a ceremony among the Redwoods. This gorgeous wedding by THIS LOVE OF YOURS features in Issue 9 of Magnolia Rouge Magazine.

ééòI wanted a soft, romantic look for our wedding flowers. I let my bridesmaids pick out their own dress colours and I think our florist did an amazing job carrying out the colour palette throughout the wedding. I also asked for succulents, wooden boxes, and loose florals on the farm tables. The overall look came out to be this beautiful scene of washed out watercolours. They did a great job capturing what I wanted for the day. Our venue, Nestldown, is such a special, magical place. We got married in a grove of towering redwoods and walked down the aisle (together!) to Birds of Tokyo’s ‘Lanterns’. I can vividly remember feeling incredibly nervous but so excited the moment it started playing. When Patrick and I joined hands for our walk down the aisle, I felt completely at ease.”
