Victoria and Michael decided to have a daytime luncheon wedding. They kept it small – close friends and family only. What better spot for a Sunday brunch than the Hotel Bel Air? Victoria loved the look of natural wood tables with abundant florals. She took design inspiration from her own home, in fact, she owns the same exact dishes we used for the table. Michael was a a big fan of dessert, so we tapped SusieCakes to make their wedding cake. A string quartet played for the ceremony and reception.

Liz and Bert got married on Halloween, but you would never know it. Liz wanted a classic white and green color scheme. As an interior designer, she had such amazing taste and it was fun to select beautiful elements like brass vases and monogrammed napkins with her. She chose The Biltmore in Santa Barbara since she wanted her friends and family to enjoy the best of the West Coast weather and views by selecting the Coral Casino side of the property. If you want to see more of this wedding you can check it out on 100 Layer Cake here.

When I met Tanya we had an instant connection – it was like chatting with an old friend. I understood what she wanted and she was totally on board with my recommendations. Tanya and Aaron are both architects and really care about design, which is why they selected The Los Angeles Athletic Club due to its rich history and newly renovated event space. Their ceremony was a lovely one at the Wilshire Boulevard Temple, which is one of the prettiest ones I have ever seen. On their wedding day, it rained and Tanya and Aaron took it in stride, laughing throughout their photos. They didn’t let the rain dampen their day at all! Here are some of my favorite photos from their big day!

When Jamie first contacted me she was living in San Francisco and planning a Palm Springs wedding. We connected right away – we had a similar aesthetic and got along like old friends, so when she decided to change the location of the wedding to Park City, Utah and asked if I would be game to head out there, I said absolutely! Lucky for us, one of the best florists in the country lives in Utah, so I was thrilled at the chance to work with Sarah Winward and really excited for the wedding. Not only that, but Jamie selected Julie Song for her paper goods and I adored what she came up with – she is extremely talented.

Hotel Park City provided excellent service and the guests really enjoyed their time at the resort. Park City is a really special place and it was so great to see a different landscape with the beautiful trees and mountains, plus a killer farmhouse that served as a great backdrop for photos. You can see more of the wedding on Martha Stewart and on Carats and Cake.
