An Eco-Chic Affair: Jessica & Jason in Bodega Bay, CA

For Jessica Hawley and Jason Miller, it was important to honor and respect the environment throughout their wedding day. “Jason and I are very much into nature and it’s a big part of how we live,” says Jessica. She, a natural perfumer, creates custom scents from the earth’s offerings, and Jason, a flight instructor and musician, appreciates the great outdoors from his vantage point in the sky. “For the wedding we wanted to enhance—not clutter up—the experience of being in a natural setting,” she says.

 

The couple was drawn to the Sonoma Coast Villa in Bodega Bay, California, a resort with beautiful Italian-style architecture, outdoor spaces and a private garden to provide fresh organic food for the big day. To pull it off, they enlisted Joannie Liss of Joannie Liss Events to plan the details and Eden Rodriguez of End Design—which specializes in sustainable events—to create the décor. Together, Eden and Jessica chose a warm color scheme of purple, rust, burgundy and yellow, appropriate for the Tuscan-style touches they planned to add.
