Details from A&A's intimate cliffside-oceanview wedding. To highlight (and complement) the natural landscape, we picked earthy, neutral, and organic elements and colors. And wow... just look how perfectly everything came together! 🥹

Sneak peaks from A&A's and just look at that oceanview and lighting! 🤯😍 What a perfect way to close out our 2024 year - planning and designing the sweetest intimate wedding for two of the kindest human beings. Much love to A&A!

Summer has flown by! This last week's "autumn tiger" heatwave us got us thinking back to I&K's classy summer wedding. We're finally featuring their beautiful winery wedding over on our blog (link in bio!). Love the sweeping views and soft golden hour lighting - go check it out!

Clean, elegant, and natural outdoor reception details. After working so hard on an event design, we love a good "reception reveal" or "reception first look" for our couples 😍 Y'all deserve to savor this precious moment!

The most adorable capture of A&S 😍 This Bay Area weather has warmed up so quickly that it inspired us to share some details from A&S' gorgeous spring wedding. We also got to enjoy some sunny weather that day 🌞 Check it out on our blog! Congratulations again, cuties! ✨

Special backdrop lighting - one of our favorite design decisions from C&M's! We decided to take a sustainable (and more-bang-for-your-buck!) route to fill the empty white space behind their sweetheart table with moody ambient lighting. This was a total vibe and elevated the entire reception space ✨

2023 was epic! We feel SO thankful to have planned, designed, and coordinated so many amazing moments... Here are just a few of them!

In 2023, we worked heartily through strange weather conditions (rain in June??), two flat tires on wedding days, destination weddings, complex planning situations, and so many opportunities to build beautiful & timeless designs. A BIG thank you to alllllll of our wonderful 2023 couples, talented vendors, and supportive venues. Happy New Year, friends!! Thanks so much for following along on our small-business journey... We're excited for what 2024 has in store 😘🤍

Whew! It’s officially November and we are finally featuring J&C’s destination wedding over on our blog!
This blog post is a bit belated because October was a crazy-busy-but-rewarding month for us 😅 BUT, we are so thankful for the opportunity to look back on J&C’s wedding and recount the fun memories from our wedding planning journey with these two & their amaaazing family! It was such a memorable weekend— go see what we mean! Happy anniversary, J&C!! 🥹

A ceremony setup for the books! Chinese Tea Ceremonies are traditionally held in private for family members. However, A&C wanted to share their culture with their guests and so, we blended the Tea Ceremony into their Ceremony program. It made for such a beautiful service, as we all witnessed 2 sides of the family coming together and 1 special family honored!

A wedding straight out of a Chinese drama! We're finally featuring A&C's stunning modern Chinese wedding over on the blog (link in bio). Everything about their wedding design was *chefs kiss* and we'll be sharing more over the next few weeks ✨ Happy belated anniversary to A&C (clients, now friends!)!

Unique engagement & wedding rings are a total vibe! We've been seeing more couples play around with different placesettings, stones, metals, sizes, and cuts -- like D&B's beautiful wedding bands. We love expressions of creativity in this way (and this clean shot!) 🤍🖤
