Overview
Photographer: C & C Photography
Location: Kimberly Crest House & Gardens · Redlands, California
Project: Wedding Editorial
Palette: Teal, Emerald, Coral, Blush, Soft Pink, Ivory & Antique Gold
Design Direction: Old-World Garden Romance
Inspired by the romance of European garden estates, A Garden Romance in Color brings an expressive, modern perspective to the historic beauty of Kimberly Crest House & Gardens. The château-like architecture, sculpted gardens, and reflective pools became the backdrop for a story shaped by color, fashion, and florals.
At the heart of the design is a rich interplay of jewel tones and painterly blooms. Deep teal linens and emerald accents ground the palette, while coral, blush, pink, and ivory florals bring softness and movement. Antique gold details add a quiet sense of history, allowing each element to feel connected to the character of the estate while remaining fresh and unexpected.
Fashion adds another layer to the story. A romantic off-the-shoulder gown, vivid blue heels, and a deep green tuxedo introduce moments of individuality against the classical surroundings. Together, architecture, color, florals, and fashion create a celebration that feels both nostalgic and distinctly modern—a garden romance where old-world elegance is reimagined through a more playful, expressive lens.
