Earthly Elegance: Chelsea & Pedro’s Lovely Natural Toned Wedding – Real Wedding Spotlight

We can all think of people whose big plans were disrupted by COVID-19. From the cancellation of a once-in-a-lifetime vacation to socially distanced graduation ceremonies, COVID-19 busted into our lives like a Big Fat Party Pooper and made us miserable. Insert your boos and hisses here.

Chelsea and Pedro are no strangers to COVID-19 and its remarkable ability to disrupt millions of important milestones over the last four years. In June 2022, a week before their wedding day, Pedro was diagnosed with COVID-19 and had to quarantine away from Chelsea. Scrambling to figure out if Pedro would be able to test negative for COVID by their scheduled wedding day, it quickly became clear, there wouldn’t be enough time and their wedding would have to reschedule. The Gardens worked with Chelsea and Pedro to move their date to June 2023. Once their new date was set, the couple reached out to their vendor team to inform them of the new date. Then they patiently waited.

Fast forward 12 months and it was finally time for Chelsea and Pedro to give this whole wedding day thing another try. The day went off without a hitch……or should we say, with a hitch, they did get married (See what I did there?).

Looking to incorporate a wedding party clad in earth tones amongst Wedding in The Woods ceremony site and Wedding Reception Tent adorned in a boho chic vibe with classic vintage details…. think cool macramé hangings and colored glass candle holders and water goblets. Thanks to The Gardens’ open catering policy, Chelsea and Pedro were able to choose a vegan caterer who provided a delicious 100% plant-based buffet…something they found important and wanted to share with their guests. The celebration continued into the night with Chelsea and Pedro enjoying all the experiences they waited so patiently for. We can’t help but wonder if their wedding day was a little sweeter and a bit more joyous as they finally tied the knot and celebrated all the adventures to come.
