There’s something timeless about setting tables right in the garden. At Mitchell Grove, couples often choose this spot for their reception, close to the orchards and framed by the green of the redwoods. It’s simple, it’s beautiful, and it doesn’t take much to make it feel like a celebration.
Friends and family bring flowers, greenery, or small touches from home. Some drape fabric across the tables, others set out jars of herbs, baskets of apples, or photos of the couple. By the time guests arrive, the garden has become something more — a gathering space that belongs to everyone who helped create it.
This is what a garden wedding means here. Not a styled shoot, but a real moment, made by people who care about each other. The tables tell that story.
