Wedding Venues
State Fare: The invitation crest included poppies, the state flower of Sara’s native California, and bluebonnets, a nod to Randy’s Texas roots. Poppies were utilized in the day-of florals, with blue linens representing bluebonnets.

Derby Day: The wedding took place on the same day as the Kentucky Derby, prompting Sara and Randy to serve mint juleps as one of their signature cocktails.

Let Them Eat Cake: KC remembers the cake cutting most fondly, as Sara surprised her groom by throwing cake in his face. “It was just such a Sara-and-Randy moment,” she says. “They have such a fun-loving, charming vibe.”

Orange You Glad: In addition to sunset-colored flowers, Randy’s boutonniere bore a kumquat in honor of his love of citrus. Laughs planner KC Cloud, “By the time they got to the reception, he had eaten it.”

Fun and Games: Custom cornhole games were available for guests to enjoy at the outdoor reception. “The best part about the venue was that it’s open land,” says Sara. “[The kids] were all playing hide and seek.”

Timeless A-Peel: Clementines made for perfect place cards—and not only because they fit in with the floral color scheme. “[Randy] eats probably a one-pound bag of clementines every day,” laughs Sara. It turns out the guests enjoyed them as well; by the end of the night, KC says the tables were laden with citrus peels.

Defying Gravity: KC loved how the look was brought to life by Adri Smith of Moss Floral Design, who constructed a 24-foot frame and suspended it from the tent. “We wanted to create something unique,” says KC, “but still have that classic air.”
