What does a Texas native transplanted to the Bay Area do to honor her home state in her wedding?  Incorporate the “yellow rose of Texas” of course!  Brooke and Christopher’s classic, elegant soiree at San Francisco’s Julia Morgan Ballroom has the most refreshing yellow, white, and gray color palette, such a gorgeous contrast to the rich, deep colors of the ballroom! Nancy Liu Chin Designs did an incredible job with the event creating big soft bouquets and lush arrangements featuring roses, ranunculus, and hydrangea and JBD Events made sure the day ran without a hitch. Such a pretty wedding with pretty details and pretty photos by Mulberry Photography!

I simply love California weddings and this warm and colorful winery wedding is no exception! Healdsburg Country Gardens played a stunning backdrop to Austin and Brian’s big day. A sophisticated yet casual wedding, they decorated with gorgeous rose, dahlia, and freesia arrangements by Floral Designs by Heather Hendrickson. I love all the natural details they used such as the wooden apple baskets and the twig-tied napkins! The gorgeous colors and scenery were brought to life in the images from the always amazing Julie Mikos!

Stephanie & Dan are from London, but came to New York City with Stephanie’s sister and brother-in-law for a classic elopement with an Old Hollywood feel.  After an intimate and heartfelt ceremony at NYC’s City Hall, elegantly captured by Katie Jane Photo, they made stops at the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, and a fire house (Dan is a fireman in London) to capture the iconic beauty of New York.
