Kelly and Elizabeth's autumn wedding at Evergreen Springs was a stunning celebration of their love, set against the backdrop of a modern, sophisticated venue in Sacramento. The couple chose a timeless black-and-white theme that complemented the clean lines and contemporary aesthetic of the space, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance and refinement.

Join us as we delve into the details that made Elizabeth and Kelly's romantic wedding an event to remember, from the stunning decor to the touching moments that left not a dry eye in the house!

Prior to the ceremony, Kelly and Elizabeth chose to share a first look, allowing them to enjoy a private moment together amidst the excitement of the day. This intimate exchange set the tone for the heartfelt celebration that was to follow, as the brides took a few quiet minutes to reflect on their love and the commitment they were about to make.

For the ceremony, the couple chose to decorate the trellis with timeless white draping, creating an elegant focal point for their exchange of vows. White rose petals and black lanterns,  tastefully arranged along the sides of the aisle, guided guests toward the altar. The simple yet sophisticated decor perfectly complemented the black and white theme, while allowing the natural beauty of Evergreen Springs to shine through.

Following the ceremony, guests were invited to enjoy a lively cocktail hour on the patio, where the newlyweds had arranged for cornhole and jenga games to entertain their loved ones. This thoughtful touch reflected Kelly and Elizabeth's desire to create a welcoming and engaging atmosphere for their guests, encouraging them to mingle and have fun.

To further personalize the cocktail hour, the couple selected two signature drinks that reflected their individual tastes and personalities. Elizabeth opted for a refreshing 805 beer, while Kelly chose a sophisticated cosmo. A custom-designed sign displayed the drink options, adding a charming and personalized touch to the bar area.

As guests sipped on their beverages and enjoyed the games, they were also treated to an array of six mouthwatering appetizers. The diverse selection included:

  • Ahi Tuna Wontons with Wasabi Cream
  • Bacon Wrapped Wild Scallops
  • Balsamic & Strawberry Crostinis
  • Mini Shrimp Tostadas
  • Chicken & Waffles with Bourbon Syrup
  • Pork Belly BLT Crostinis

As the cocktail hour came to a close, Elizabeth and Kelly made their grand entrance into the beautifully decorated reception space. The couple's meticulous attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the setup.

To help guests find their assigned seats, the couple provided a unique and thoughtful escort card display. Small vases filled with delicate flowers were arranged on a table, each bearing a guest's name and table number. A cleverly punny sign reading "for our best buds" encouraged guests to take the flowers home as a wedding favor.

The sweetheart table, where the newlyweds would be seated, was a stunning focal point of the reception space. The Evergreen Springs team had expertly set up a beautiful pipe and drape backdrop, flanked by rustic wine barrels and romantic lanterns. Elizabeth and Kelly added their own personalized touch to the table with a fun neon sign displaying their new shared last name, infusing the classic decor with a modern, playful element.

The guest tables were draped in crisp, white floor-length linens, with black napkins adding a touch of contemporary contrast. Elegant gold Chiavari chairs surrounded each table, providing a warm and inviting seating area for guests to enjoy the festivities.

Centerpieces by Wild Flowers Design Group brought together the tablescape for a cohesive look. Silver vases with ivory flowers and eucalyptus created a timeless and sophisticated look, tying together the black and white color scheme. The floral arrangements added a touch of organic beauty to the reception space, enhancing the overall ambiance of refined elegance.

As guests took their seats, their attention was drawn to the enticing aroma of the delicious dinner that awaited them. Elizabeth and Kelly had chosen Evergreen Springs' signature buffet - always a guest favorite! The couple chose:

  • Panko Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Sherry Cream
  • Oven Roasted Salmon with Tarragon Butter Sauce
  • Carved Roasted Prime Rib of Beef Au Jus with Creamed Horseradish
  • Garlic Mashed Potatoes
  • Seasonal Vegetables

The couple's carefully curated menu concluded with a stunning wedding cake by Cake Castle Bakery. Kelly and Elizabeth chose a classic, elegant white cake that complemented their black and white theme.

As the evening went on, Elizabeth and Kelly had one more surprise in store for their guests. They unveiled a late-night snack station featuring a soft pretzel bar, a fun treat for everyone to enjoy as they danced the night away. 

The dance floor was packed with loved ones, all sharing in the joy and happiness that radiated from the newlyweds. Kelly and Elizabeth's infectious smiles and laughter filled the room as they celebrated their union, surrounded by the people who matter most to them.

Congratulations, Kelly and Elizabeth! May your love continue to grow stronger with each passing day, and may your life together be filled with countless moments of joy, laughter, and adventure.
