Eco-Chic - Lavender Field | Platinum Lining Events

Eco-Chic Wedding in a Lavender Field - Highland Springs Resort, Cherry Valley, Ca

Posted on May 5th, 2010 by LaDawn

Robin and Ken hired me/Platinum Lining Events over a year ago. When they hired me they were living in Riverside, two months into the planning and a month worth of searching for venues, they relocated to Canada! They were looking for a venue where their entire family could stay and they could make a weekend out of it, was eco-friendly, had an outdoor ceremony site, used California grown products. That placed turned out to be Highland Springs Resort in Cherry Valley.

Then my bride and groom were off for their new adventure in Canada and they left me with these words “We can’t do this from Toronto without stressing, so we need someone local to be our representative.” Their priorities were, fun, great food and drink, family, naturally beautiful, local small business vendors, no fluff!

I assembled my dream team, it was important that I chose vendors that honored her eco-chicness, were local and could help me pull this off with her being in another country. Skype and email became our direct link to each other. Ricardo from Irises Designs created a design session via Skype with her center piece, linens, willow tied napkins, it was fun! She booked Signature Limo’s for transportation on the rehearsal night. The amazing Desi Baytan Photography was the photographer and he got some amazing shots (see below). The chef at HSR created an amazing menu and their guest got to choose between Duck Confit, Vegetarian Paella or grilled stripped Bass.

The beautiful ceremony took place in the lavender field at HSR and Irises Designs created beautiful May Poles and the wind was blowing just perfect. The vows took place just under the beautiful olive trees and the bride and groom wrote their own vows that touched everyone!

The wine was flowing, the music went until after midnight and Robin and Ken didn’t compromise even from Canada and they got everything they set out to experience at their wedding. I am so excited to have been a part of this beautiful, eco-chic wedding!
