Patricia & Shaikh's Italian-Inspired Summer Villa Montalvo Wedding
Patricia & Shaikh's Italian-Inspired Summer Villa Montalvo Wedding

Villa Montalvo, Saratoga

Summer

Inspired by the Italianate architecture of Villa Montalvo, design elements were selected that would reflect the Mediterranean spirit throughout our entire event. Hand-painted chargers reminiscent of painted tiles with watercolor oranges were chosen, mirrored by the cutest kumquat clusters in the centerpieces. The theme of our florals was easy breezy, abounding with delicate twirling floral vines and organic shapes. We also incorporated cane-backed chairs, woven lanterns, and coastal lounge seating for a laid-back vibe.

Sally & Andrew's Whimsical and Classic Beaulieu Garden Wedding
Sally & Andrew's Whimsical and Classic Beaulieu Garden Wedding

Beaulieu Garden, Napa

Summer

Sally & Andrew’s late summer Napa wedding at Beaulieu Garden featured whimsical floral illustrations and a colorful palette, tastefully and classically brought together. Beaulieu Garden was the perfect setting for their English countryside garden inspired wedding, from their ceremony at the Sunken Garden to dinner served under the Arbor. Their wedding was full of the most joyous smiles and beautiful details - but the star of the show has to be their handsome little guy, the cutest pomsky, Taeyang.

Cecilia & David's Modern Autumn Flood Mansion Wedding
Cecilia & David's Modern Autumn Flood Mansion Wedding

Flood Mansion, San Francisco

Autumn

Both incredibly talented designers with impeccable taste, Cecilia and David chose San Francisco’s iconic Flood Mansion as the backdrop for their stylish, moody autumn wedding. They kept their overall design sleek and modern, with a neutral palette and dark touches contrasting a fall-forward, colorful floral palette. Lush roses, fall foliage, autumn fruit - elements that melded together into the stunning arch under which Cecilia and David said “I do.” Guests were seated at long banquet tables in the main hall, dining by candlelight on Korean-inspired dishes as a nod to Cecilia & David’s comfort foods. From the fashion choices to the moody autumn décor, the vibes were immaculate.

Kenshiro & Annie's Modern Japanese Garden Beaulieu Garden Wedding
Kenshiro & Annie's Modern Japanese Garden Beaulieu Garden Wedding

Beaulieu Garden, Napa

Spring

Annie & Kenshiro fell in love with the beautiful gardens at Beaulieu Garden, in particular the oak tree they were married under. To honor Kenshiro's Japanese heritage, we selected ikebana style arrangements that were designed in vessels handmade by Annie, who is a talented ceramicist. Whimsical touches were carried throughout the wedding, through the hanging kokedama plants, Annie's fun ruffled dress, and gardenesque bouquet designed to be held cradled to accentuate the dress ruffle rather than hide it.

Summer

Tiff & Jeff's wedding was the culmination of their love of over 10 years, set in early fall nestled amongst the vineyards of wine country. Filled with the softest and most romantic details, we wanted every detail to be a reflection of their sweet love. Tiff wanted a color palette filled with soft pinks and blushes, paired with neutrals and many organic touches. Guests enjoyed sparkling on tap from the cutest vintage bar cart, before dining under the trellis in the olive grove beneath a canopy of green vines. Their late summer Chateau St. Jean wedding was filled with light, love, laughter, and all the gorgeous blooms!
