Connie & Mike's Elegant and Ethereal Garden Inspired Carneros Resort Wedding
Connie & Mike's Elegant and Ethereal Garden Inspired Carneros Resort Wedding

Carneros Resort, Napa

Summer

Connie & Mike’s Carneros Resort wedding took place in the last days of summer in the heart of Napa Valley, surrounded by rolling hills of grapevines. Connie has a naturally elegant and refined style, and to complement that we wanted the design of their wedding to be ethereal and beautiful, pulling from English gardens as inspiration to achieve the vibe of a dreamy garden party. We chose a color palette consisting mostly of neutrals, highlighted by soft pinks, yellows, and purples.

Hokkaido | Japan
Hokkaido | Japan

Hokkaido boasts some of the most stunning views in all of Japan, and it’s even more breathtaking in person. Along with stunning views and changing leaves, we had some of the most amazing fresh seafood on earth, particularly scallops, crab, and uni (sea urchin). Hokkaido is also known for their milk and milk products, so we made it a point to eat as much milk-flavored ice cream as possible (for science!) - I’ve ranked our favorites below! For this leg of our trip, we decided to make Sapporo our base as we visited smaller cities in the surrounding areas (Otaru, Jozankei, and Niseko).

Julie & Creighton's Effortlessly Romantic Villa Montalvo Wedding
Julie & Creighton's Effortlessly Romantic Villa Montalvo Wedding

Villa Montalvo, Saratoga

I started working with Julie to plan and design her wedding approximately one month before her wedding date - her busy work schedule had kept her from having the time to freely plan her wedding until one month prior, and she was in desperate need of professional assistance. Within that month, we worked together to bring together design elements and a vendor team that would bring Julie’s vision for an elegant and romantic yet effortless celebration of their marriage at the historic Villa Montalvo. The result was an absolute dream!

Sherry & Robert's Autumnal Garden Wedding
Sherry & Robert's Autumnal Garden Wedding

Allied Arts Guild, Menlo Park

Who says that you can’t have a garden wedding in autumn? Sherry and Robert’s autumnal garden wedding certainly proves that wrong! Their wedding took place at Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, and their moody autumnal color palette accented the gardens perfectly. Sherry wanted to make sure their wedding design didn’t read too girly (her favorite color is black, but she felt that would be too dark for their wedding), so she chose to incorporate deep burgundies.
