When Fabiola and JT chose to get married in their "City of Love", San Francisco, the bride did wear green! And it was important to the couple to offset the impact of relatives traveling from France, by having as green a wedding as possible...
JT and Fabiola designed and created a handmade invitation on recycled paper, using a California Poppy theme that was a reoccurring element in their wedding because it represents, to them, their love of the Bay Area, and conveniently provided a lovely color palate for their special day.
Fabiola's bouquet could not contain California Poppies, since the flower is protected by a state law prohibiting anyone from picking or destroying it. Instead, local, seasonal flowers were combined to create a similarly striking visual appearance with light green and bold orange. 
Because we were willing to plan ahead and plant our own California Poppies from seed, we were able to incorporate them into a living centerpiece:
The couple was married in the Presidio. They exchanged their vows outdoors, in English and French, and included a rose ceremony, where the couple exchanged single roses and promised to give each other simple gifts, such as garden roses, on their anniversary, and agreed to use these flowers as a peaceful s. ymbol of reconnection any time that their relationship might need it, in the years to come.
For a lower impact reception, JT and Fabiola went completely vegetarian in a private room at the pioneer vegetarian restaurant, Green's
And instead of asking their guest to rent and drive cars, this couple provided a fun form of group transportation by renting a motorized cable car to take guests to the ceremony and then to the reception at Green's, stopping along the way for some classic San Francisco photo opportunities: 
At Green's Restaurant, their places were set with a plantable favor (California Poppy seeds) and a customized menu on 100% recycled paper.
And Cake Coquette delivered a beautiful organic vanilla fruit & cream cake.
After enjoying a delightful dinner by the natural light of the sun, setting over the Bay-
The guests enjoyed their cake and danced the night away...
