Love is Love – An LGBT Wedding in the Woods

An LGBT Wedding at UC Davis Arboretum

We have had the opportunity to plan and design a number of LGBT weddings over the last couples years.  Last October, Inspirations by Gina was contacted by Angela who was looking for someone to create florals and decor for her wedding to Cassie.  Yay!  We were so excited because our philosophy is that Love is Love and we do not discriminate against anyone who finds love.  Angela met with us and we immediately clicked on the design and what she was envisioning for her wedding day.  The UC Davis Arboretum is such a serene and special place that we wanted to capture the organic elements in our design for Angela and Cassie.

We decided that we would use lots of greenery such as sword ferns along with a single echeveria succulent, seeded eucalyptus to represent the woods in Angela’s bouquet.  The pop of colors of cream roses and purple burgundy florals tied into the design of Angela’s gown and her desire to bring in the color burgundy for the wedding.

We continued with the design of the woods throughout the reception decor and the centerpieces for the guest tables were wooden boxes filled with florals, pots and succulents.  We decorated the simple wedding cake with cream roses to compliment the rest of the design throughout the reception.

Angela was overcome with so much emotion when we presented her with her bouquet!  Also, when Angela and Cassie arrived at the D Street Steakhouse, they were both blown away when they saw not only the florals but the reception decor.  This is why we do what we do because we love it when our clients are happy with what we create for their special day.

Here’s a toast to both Angela and Cassie:  Cheers and we wish you much love and happiness!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Everything about working with this business was easy and wonderful! I appreciated the thoughtful follow-up as soon as I had made the order and the willingness to answer my questions. On the day of the delivery, I loved getting a text message and pic of the bouquet being delivered! Last and definitely not least, the bouquet was gorgeous and I loved the colors they chose. I will definitely be using Inspirations By Gina in the future!

We contacted Gina to provide a Dallas Cowboys themed flower arrangement for a large pedestal table located in the vestibule of the venue we were holding our loved one’s celebration of life service. With very little input from me Gina created the most beautiful arrangement and it was a show stopper! We appreciate Gina her professional attitude and creativity in our very difficult time. That arrangement put smiles on our faces all night long! Thanks Gina!

I've had the opportunity to work with as well as utilize Gina's floral services and design skills. This had been mostly when designing events for the Sacramento chapter of NACE. She has always delivered on her commitments with class, consistently, efficiently and with a flair of creativeness. Trust and invest properly and you will be more than pleased with your decision.

Gina is the kind of florist that you come across once in a lifetime. She is talented, thoughtful, and has the gift of conveying emotion through her work. A group of friends and I reached out to Gina to help us show support to a friend whose grandmother had passed away. She was incredible to work with and created a stunning arrangement that she delivered with great care. I can't recommend Gina enough!
