This was the very first wedding held on this site, a beautiful home named Estate 8 just off the main road in Napa. And what a beautiful estate for entertaining! Take a peek below at the beautiful floral work by Hawthorn Flower Studio for this stunning soiree. A bridesmaid’s bouquet and a lovely ikebana-style arrangement….
I walked up to find George a bundle of nerves, rendered quiet with his level of anticipation before the ceremony. He’s usually the talkative one, according to Miriam. But the excitement of the day was a lot to take in. They had a whole crew of family members and friends there to support them in…
I love that yellow is having something of a moment. It’s not always easy to design with yellow, since it can easily turn too childish or too country. But Melanie did a beautiful job keeping it elegant with her arrangements. See her beautiful work for this wedding at Arista Winery below! Anna Wu is…
Clara and Aaron are two sweet souls, warm with each other and their families. When they planned to get married, they decided to keep it simple, with just a few friends and family. They traveled to California from Berlin, Germany, where they live, and were wed in a lovely little park by the Bay, with…
Sophia is brilliant, talks a mile a minute, remembers everyone she’s ever met, is busy saving the world, and salsa dances in her free time. It’s very difficult to keep up with her, but somehow she’s met her match in Terrence. He’s the doctor to her (former) lawyer, completely social media-less while Sophia is compulsively…
Jessica and Andrew were certain about marrying each other, but they weren’t so sure they wanted a wedding. They thought they might just go to City Hall and get married. But their families convinced them to put together this little backyard celebration instead. And it was indeed still lovely, simple, and filled with their closest…
You might remember S & H from their elopement back in April. They weren’t originally planning to have a whole wedding reception, but with the encouragement of their families, they decided to throw a little shindig, complete with a bubbles show, taco truck, and sundae bar, all at their family brewery in Rancho Cordova. We…
I have loved documenting Melanie’s beautiful floral designs at her weddings this season. We headed to Solage in Calistoga, where the centerpiece of the reception was this dramatic hanging installation over the dance floor. So cool! And all of the actual centerpieces were also so beautiful, with a gorgeous palette of purples and yellows. Beautiful colors…
They were meant to be together, but they just didn’t realize it at first. They met ten years ago through mutual friends and even worked together briefly. But when they tried dating the first time, it just did not work. Luckily, they remained friends. And by the time they came back around to the idea…
Yuzhi and Jason first met as interns at Facebook seven years ago. They were with a group of friends hiking Half Dome at Yosemite when something about surviving in the wilderness together sparked into the start of their romance. They still share the same love of the outdoors, but they’ve added DIY projects around the…
This day has been a long time coming for Nancy and Quoc. They’ve each had siblings who have thrown huge weddings with hundreds of guests, but they really just wanted something simple: no big celebration, just to be married. So they made their appointment for San Francisco City Hall, and it was just the two…

Ogle the beautiful floral designs of Hawthorn Flower Studio for this real wedding setup at the Burlingame Country Club. I had so much fun documenting Melanie’s beautiful work for her! I love all the hellebores and dogwoods in these various boutonnieres. …
