Who says a vineyard wedding means you have to use bunches of deep purple grapes to decorate your cake, centerpieces, and bridal bouquets? For a garden wedding, I’d rather take my cues from a tossed salad: crisp greens with tomato and carrot-colored blooms. I’ve been in love with this cabbage leaf centerpiece arrangement from Panacea Event Floral Design since we posted it. It makes me hungry just looking at it!
If you’re dreaming of an outdoor event, Central California brides have some fresh choices in the Paso Robles and Central Coast Wine Country. Enjoy this inspiration board, with photos courtesy of our insanely talented Central California event professionals:

I love the cake. The orange flowers are divine. Orange has come a long way from your grandma’s shag carpeting and Brady Bunch reruns. I love the cake topper as well.
Paso Robles wine country is full of amazing wineries and outdoor wedding locations like Meridian. The best part is that they are usually half as much as Napa Wineries and twice as beautiful. Perfect for brides who want their wedding dollars to go further. And the small town feeling is so nice, your guests will never want to leave.
The AVA regions of Paso Robles and Edna Valley have been catagorized as emerging wine growing areas for years. One by-product of this phenomenon is that we have seen the construction of some incredible winery wedding venues. These facilities make for idyllic wedding settings. Weddings specialists like the Broad Street Event Group have created relationships with many venues and offer a “one stop solution” for couples considering coastal weddings. All in all, the Central Coast is an extremely enticing option for wedding couple consideration.
The movie “Sideways” may have put it on the map for many people, but insiders have known the Central Coast to be a gorgeous and affordable alternative to Napa Valley for a while:

Wow that setting is beautiful. Reminds me of the movie “A Walk in the Clouds”.
