A Classy, Modern Wedding at the Flood Mansion

What a beautiful wedding for Serena and Alan at the Flood Mansion! The royal purples, macaw greens, and whites went so well together. Serena and Alan are both from the Bay Area, but currently live in New York where they had moved after both graduating from Ross Business School at the University of Michigan where they had met. Both being so busy, they still remained very organized throughout their wedding planning.

The venue was absolutely stunning, and Serena's centerpieces of magenta orchids on manzanita trees with clear crystals, and fuschia uplighting just added so much more. For their guestbook, guests signed moonstones with one word they wished for the happy couple. It was the courtyard steps where Serena and Alan exchanged their vows, followed by their reception with many warm words from their parents and bridal party. Instead of a bouquet toss, Serena gave her bouquet to her grandmother... how sweet! They danced the night away, and at the end of the night, guests took home favors of custom self image cookies of the couple, very adorable!

An Artsy Wedding for Nancy & Jeffrey

Nancy and Jeffrey first met as undergrads at Stanford many years ago, and when Jeffrey moved to New York, they had to endure a long distance relationship filled with many missed phone calls, emails, and traveling back and forth. Their love for each other was very apparent every time I met with them, and so was Nancy's love for art, and it was the Andrew E Gallery where Jeffrey had proposed. Each table was named for a famous artist, the San Francisco War Memorial Green Room was decorated in rich golds, purples, and flowers that radiated with fuscia hues. Even their cake definitely had an artsy feel to it. The ceremony and reception took place in the Green Room with cocktail hour on the terrace. The day could not be more perfect for this wedding, overlooking a view of City Hall. At night, the view was spectacular. I could not be happier for NAncy and Jeffrey, congratulations again!

The Sweetest Couple! Sweethearts Vicky & Tony Tie the Knot!

It was an awesome wedding day for Vicky and Tony, one of the nicest couples I have ever worked with. All throughout the wedding day, Vicky was making sure I was alright and if I needed any help (that's my job for her!) and wanted to help in the reception set up. Silly Vicky, but what a sweet and considerate gesture.

She surprised her groom with a special performance by violinist Kippy Marks, what a great entertainer! Vicky and Tony kept their guests busy with fun activities, great music and a photobooth.

It's actually very rare when I see my brides after their wedding, but lucky me; I saw Vicky and Tony's smiling faces only two weeks later at another wedding where Vicky's close friend was married. So much happiness!

A Beautiful, Casual Fun Wedding for a Most Awesome Ana & Devin

I discovered Rockwall Winery in Alameda while working with Ana and Devin. This venue is perfect for those creative minds who don't mind working with a blank slate. Ana and Devin were married on a beautiful July afternoon with the San Francisco skyline behind them. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous, filled with lots of fuscia and orange gerber daisies, the venue decorated by the winery's barrels, mini appetizers, and delicious food. They were such a fun couple to work with, and truly loved by their friends and family, who secretly organized a flash mob dance to Michael Jackson's Billy Jean. It was extremely awesome. They danced the night away while giving away hats, mardi gras beads, and other props that Ana's cousin had made from materials bought in El Salvador, where Ana's family is from. The guests went crazy for them! It was a pleasure working with Ana and Devin; she was one of those dream clients: super organized, sweet, and knew exactly what she wanted. LOVE it!
