Anji & Sherwin's Modern Spring Wedding

Park Winters, California

Set in the middle of spring, Anji & Sherwin's wedding day incorporated their sleek style filled with touches of Anji's quirky-cute personality. They opted for a neutral color palette with moody tones (check out those hellebores!), and selected elevated textures to add a touch of elegance (velvet linens and gold-edged charger plates) to their wedding design. Anji's bridal bouquet incorporated the best of the delicate flowers of spring, paired with dried elements for added texture. Anemones, the bride's favorite flower, were included in her bouquet as well as on their invitation suite (designed by the bride herself!), hand-illustrated on the vellum overlay.

Julie & Creighton's Effortlessly Romantic Villa Montalvo Wedding

Villa Montalvo, Saratoga

The result was an absolute dream!

Sarah & Josh's Elegant White Wedding at The San Francisco Mint

The San Francisco Mint

Sarah and Josh were one of the sweetest couples I have ever met, gifted with strength and beauty, and the most generous, loving spirits. They met in the military, and their relationship continued to grow despite frequent goodbyes and long distances. Sarah’s aesthetic is elegant, simple, and refined, which we strove to carry out throughout her wedding design. We felt a clean palette of whites, pale greys, and dusty blues would complement the weathered stone of The San Francisco Mint beautifully, and greenery was brought in to add an organic touch for their elegant white wedding.
