Real Weddings: Katie + Steve

Katie and Steve’s Malibu wedding is a fresh spin on December – winter wedding meets the beaches of Southern California – and it’s fabulous! Greenwich Floral Design used calla lilies, white peonies, and ranunculus along with silver brunia and other soft florals to create gorgeous, cool, wintry arrangements. Being a music nerd myself I may or may not have gasped just a bit out of excitement to see that “die-hard USC fan” Katie was surprised with a performance by the USC Trojan Marching Band at their reception! Very cool. Such a mix of fabulous details and wonderful photos by Heidi Ryder Photography – this is a winter wedding I’d certainly love to have attended!
