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.

Tiff & Jeff's Blush Chateau St. Jean Winery Wedding
Tiff & Jeff's Blush Chateau St. Jean Winery Wedding

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!

Jenny & Marcus's Romantic Flood Mansion Wedding
Jenny & Marcus's Romantic Flood Mansion Wedding

Flood Mansion, San Francisco

Autumn

Jenny & Marcus chose to host their wedding at Flood Mansion for its stunning architecture and location in the heart of San Francisco, a historic mansion that was the perfect setting for their romantic wedding. We chose a soft palette of blush, mauve, dusty blue, and an accent of deeper burgundy for a touch of autumnal tones. Iconic to Flood Mansion weddings, they held their ceremony at the courtyard followed by cocktail reception, before guests were invited inside the grand hall for dinner. Soft, luxurious textures were featured throughout their wedding - tablescapes of velvet linens and gold touches, as well as greenery interwoven through warm candles and lush floral arrangements. Their cake was a work of art designed to reflect the marbled textures through the architecture of Flood Mansion.

Delna & Patrick's Bridgerton-Inspired Villa Montalvo Wedding
Delna & Patrick's Bridgerton-Inspired Villa Montalvo Wedding

Villa Montalvo, Saratoga
- AS SEEN ON STYLE ME PRETTY -

Autumn

When Delna & Patrick were first planning their wedding for spring of 2020, the world was in a different place and we had a different design planned for their wedding. A few design iterations later, Delna & Patrick were married in the fall of 2021, surrounded by their closest friends and family at the gorgeous estate of Villa Montalvo. With the shift of season and the release of Bridgerton (which Delna loved), we landed on a palette that brought out the best of autumn in rich golds and dusty pinks, accented by a touch of blue a la Bridgerton. We wanted the overall design to feel romantic but effortless, blending seamlessly with the grand architecture of Villa Montalvo while maintaining a lighthearted atmosphere.
