In the heart of April, Sarah and Garry married at Walnut Creek’s Ruth Bancroft Gardens, an immaculately landscaped property planted with numerous species of cacti, succulents, and drought-tolerant plants from all around the world.

The gravel garden path leading towards Ruth’s Folly was lined with wooden bentwood chairs, arranged meticulously to follow the evolving curves of the adjacent garden beds. Guests selected their seats in the asymmetrical rows and eagerly awaited the ceremony’s beginning.

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued in the sun-dappled shade of Ruth Bancroft Gardens’ Eucalyptus Grove. Round reception tables were surrounded with natural wooden chairs, and the tabletops were covered with colorful floral bud vase groupings, lovingly crafted by Sarah and her bridesmaids. Guests were presented with a delectable, organic, farm-to-table, family-style dinner during the al fresco dinner reception.
