A Green and White Elegant Ballroom Wedding at The James Leary Flood Mansion in San Francisco, California

The old-fashioned San Francisco feel of this historic venue built in 1915 inspired Hailey Anderson (29 and a attorney) and Patrick Flemming’s (29 and in corporate planning) to have their elegant wedding in an early-20th-century style. With the help of their event planner, Laura Wright, the couple were able to embody a classic look using brass candelabras with white candles and warm linens that followed their color palette of dark emerald green and white accented in gold. The ceremony took place outside at the venue’s courtyard, with dark wooden chairs facing the front that were decorated aisle arrangements of ivory and green flowers. The reception was taken indoors to the elegant ballroom, where ivory-dressed dining tables were decorated with arrangements of roses, hydrangeas and chrysanthemums accented with ferns, captured by Kate Harrison Photography. When Hailey worked with The Cutting Gardens at Flora Grubb Gardens, she knew she wanted to incorporate her love for ferns into many aspects of the wedding: the large fern leaves decorating each dinnerware setting, the small fern-leaf wedding favors in glass bottles and fern being incorporated into almost every arrangement at the wedding. “I love the lush green of ferns, so I asked our florist to go fern crazy,” Hailey says. “I love the way the floral arrangements are loose, but still formal and elegant.”
