Amid the scenic hills of California, the unconventional venue of Jeune Perche became the stage for a garden-inspired editorial that effortlessly fused elegance with whimsy. Soft tones, textured details, and a fresh creative vision turned the estate into a canvas for artistry. Guided by Koral & Ko.’s approach and Jasmine Marie Photography’s talent, every frame told a story of romance and sophistication. This collaboration brought a new perspective to classic garden inspiration, mixing organic charm with modern creativity.
Concept Behind the Shoot
This well-styled editorial embodied the delicate balance of natural beauty and artful grace. The design team drew inspiration from the blooming gardens. Shades of soft green, cream, and earth tones were paired with organic elements like fresh fruits, veggies, and antique-inspired accents. The carefully curated outfits of the models, along with the ideal season and even the gentle spring weather, harmonized to create a picture-perfect scene.
"Our idea for this shoot, by gathering some of the most talented vendors from Southern California, was to create a memorable setting to inspire not only couples getting married but to spark the minds of other creatives in the industry when it comes to infusing their work with authenticity and innovation.”
Location
The Jeune Perche couldn’t have been a better choice for this shoot. With its architectural concrete ceremony structure and sprawling greenery, the venue offered a serene yet striking backdrop. Its versatility allowed the design team to seamlessly transform the space into a garden oasis filled with textures, layers, and romantic touches. Whether it’s a grand celebration or an understated gathering, Jeune Perche offers endless possibilities for personalization.
“This new venue, Jeune Perche, 100% gives classy European garden vibes which went with our overall design deck.”
Style & Fashion
The bride showcased two gorgeous looks for this styled shoot, each carefully chosen to complement the theme. For the outdoor garden setting, she wore the Alula A-line gown by Willowby Watters, a design featuring layers of soft tulle and delicate floral lace. The Rosalla beading added a subtle shimmer, catching the light and creating an ethereal, romantic feel.
“The gown from The Dresser Bridal offers versatility with its removable velvet straps, while the intricate sparkly custom beading ensures you'll shine with an irresistible glow as you celebrate your love story.”
Her first bouquet, designed by Alex Telson Designs, was a mix of white blooms and greenery, perfectly matching the soft, natural tones of the setting.
For the second part of the day, the bride wore a playful, shorter dress with layered tulle paired with elegant pearl-studded gloves and white heels adorned with charming bow accents. Her bouquet was thoughtfully designed to highlight this fresh, fun look, adding another layer of artistry to the overall concept. She completed both dresses with a classic pearl necklace, matching earrings, and loose, wavy hair, that gave a relaxed yet polished touch.
The groom’s light tan tuxedo from Friar Tux was the perfect choice. His green bow tie and white floral boutonniere, also styled by Alex Telson Designs, tied his look effortlessly to the bride’s details, creating a cohesive and elegant aesthetic that perfectly fit the shoot’s mood. Together, their outfits captured the spirit of timeless elegance and whimsical creativity.
Ceremony
The concrete wall stood as the heart of the scene, elegantly accented by organic floral arrangements in soft whites and greens. Lush greenery and delicate wildflowers framed the space, creating an intimate setting that still felt open to the surrounding landscape’s beauty. The simplicity of the aisle design truly allowed the venue’s natural charm to shine. Thoughtful touches like white parasols were strategically placed, adding charm to the scene while offering guests shade from the sun — a thoughtful balance of function and beauty.
Jasmine Marie captured the ceremony with incredible skill, delivering frames that felt alive with emotion and detail. Her work highlighted every element, from the couple’s glances to the gentle movement of the wildflowers in the breeze. The vibrant mix of wide shots, close-ups, and unique angles created a gallery that felt dynamic and full of emotion. Every detail, from the soft light to the vibrant colors, was captured precisely, making the ceremony feel timeless and unforgettable.
Bites, Blooms, and Beautiful Details
Cocktail hour brought a new level of creativity with a grazing table by Savor Boards. Featuring artisanal cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruits, and rustic breads, the display blended culinary artistry with garden-inspired decor. A cozy lounge area with a green sofa, comfy chairs, and stylish touches perfectly fit into the vibe, creating an inviting spot to kick back and relax.
“Adding a grazing table to a cocktail hour creates an inviting, unique, and memorable experience as guests embark on a culinary journey, savoring each morsel while soaking in the joyous atmosphere of the celebration.”
Another highlight was the “Love in Full Bloom” by Oak Tree Event Rentals seating chart. This creative display featured clear bud vases filled with white roses paired with gold accents for a touch of glamour. “As guests approach the seating chart, they are greeted by the sweet scent of fresh flowers, creating a sensory experience that transports them to a blooming garden oasis,” added the planner. Practical yet visually stunning, it was a perfect example of how to merge functionality with style.
Decor & Florals
The decor of this shoot were a dreamy mix of natural beauty and thoughtful design, brought to life by Koral & Ko. A wooden pergola draped with soft white fabric set the stage, while crystal chandeliers hanging above the table added just the right amount of sparkle. As the sun dipped lower, the whole scene glowed, giving it an almost magical feel.
Alex Telson Designs worked their magic with lush floral arrangements full of greenery, white blooms, and charming touches like fresh pears and grapes. The table was dressed with green-and-white vintage-inspired china, delicate lace napkins, and gold flatware, creating an inviting yet elegant vibe. Little details like sage ribbons and textured linens tied everything together beautifully.
“The vintage-inspired garden reception setting is a charming tableau straight out of a storybook.”
Reception
The reception setup brought the styled shoot’s vision of romance and elegance to life. At its heart was a champagne tower by Flute and Fizz, a playful yet sophisticated feature that added a touch of celebratory flair. “The newlyweds pour champagne into the coupes, its effervescent bubbles cascading down the pyramid in a shimmering cascade, creating a fun and different experience for all,” shared the planner.
The white two-tiered wedding cake by 118 Cakery was another show-stopper decorated with a delicate tulle bow and fresh berries. Styled as a focal point of the reception, it blended sweetness and sophistication, adding another layer of beauty to the overall design.
Jasmine Marie Photography brought this dreamy editorial to life with her keen eye for detail and composition. Working alongside Steven Dorn Films and Cupid Content Co., the team documented every angle — from the champagne sparkle to the cake’s intricate details. Together, they turned this styled setup into a gallery of moments that feel fresh, timeless, and full of inspiration.
