A Golden Wedding at the Los Angeles River Center & Gardens

An Opulent, Golden Wedding In A Beautiful City Garden

Here at Feathered Arrow Events, we love a good garden wedding! For example, we’ve been fortunate enough to plan everything from large garden estates, greenhouse weddings, to even secret garden weddings. And it’s no surprise that couples are drawn to these romantic venues. They feel like a picturesque getaway from the busy city life. So when Marina + Hector wanted to shake up the typical soft garden vibe and have an elegant, golden wedding at the Los Angeles River Center & Gardens, we were totally on board. With gold, black and maroon driving the color palette, we elevated the garden space and created a jaw dropping golden experience!

For the ceremony, Hector + Marina exchanged vows under a gold ring adorned with maroon and white floral arrangements. Later, for the reception, we continued the color scheme with gold chiavari chairs, silky black tablecloths, and white + maroon floral arrangements on each table. Additionally, the tables had beautiful acrylic table numbers. Guests dined and danced under the stars all night!

Making A Statement

Lastly, of my favorite parts was Marina’s stunning embellished golden wedding saree lehenga. It truly set the stage! Combined with a touch of maroon to tie in with the rest of the wedding colors, Marina’s dress made her look like royalty! Even after all my years of being in this industry, I will never tire of bridal fashion. It just is so amazing watching the styles change and watching every bride find an outfit that fits their personality and style so perfectly. 

Huge congrats to Marina + Hector!
