A Dreamy Summer Elopement on Mt. Tam

When Britney and Tyler made the decision to postpone their wedding reception to 2021, they looked to their vendor team to help them pull together an intimate elopement celebration that takes ‘picnic’ to the next level.

They chose a spot on Mt. Tam in Marin County, California that overlooked the Pacific, and invited their immediate families to stand beside them. After they exchanged their vows and popped champagne, they sat down for a picnic overlooking the ocean and the most beautiful sunset. What a sweet, sweet way to say I Do!

For Britney’s bouquet, I drew inspiration from the hills of Marin and the ethereal texture of her gown. I incorporated soft silky blooms like butterfly ranunculus, neutral dried textures that matched the golden hillsides, and pops of creamy blush.

For their picnic tablescape I played with composition and mixed and matched different floral elements like ceramic bud vases, a light and airy centerpiece, and cake flower accents to create a lush setting for their intimate dinner.

Fine art film photographer Shannon Yen Photography perfectly captured their day.
