Green Wedding on a Horse Arena

 

Stephanie and Randal were the first couple to hold a green wedding at the Malibu Nature Preserve's recently added former horse arena.

 

Guests enjoyed the dramatic views on the bluff then the gorgeous lighting of the reception site, which went from afternoon sunset overlooking the ocean into the mysterious starry night - were the mountain lions watching from afar?

Stephanie and friends created their own place card flowers, which were taken home by the bunch to decorate houses and apartments. What else was green? The shuttles from Avalon drove on bio diesel as did the generator, the bathroom were solar powered and the delicious food from chef Diana Temple was mostly organic and definitely local.

Wedding season started at the Nature Preserve

Especially with the help of a competent wedding planner there's no problem to coordinate a wedding in four months. We started to plan Jo and Ed's colorful creative wedding (May 23, 2009) in February and are full on schedule, even with various musicians, continuous surprises and entertainment on all sites. Jo's motto: "no down time" for their expected 250 guests.

Jo and Ed's inspiration is their trip to India in the beginning of the year when Ed proposed to Jo on her birthday - in a boat on the river Ganges, surrounded by floating flowers...
The ceremony will be on the bluff overlooking the ocean in the most marvelous way. The famous bamboo structure on the bluff will be decorated with colorful drapes and guests were asked to think color: all shades of pink, orange, green, saffron, yellow.
The feast of colors will compete with a sea food feast by Creative Fare and sounds of music managed by Matt Sidoti.
I created Jo and Ed's website at mywedding.com and RSVP's are flowing in.
