The Carneros Inn is one of my favorite venues, and the unforgettable view of the Apple Orchards Garden was the perfect backdrop for the reception. Amy’s gorgeous Vera Wang’s dress was absolutely the dress that every girl would dream to have on their wedding day, and it perfectly paired up with her Christian Louboutin’s shoes.

As the bride is spontaneous and the groom is in love with nature, we incorporated both of their ideals and pulled together a series of details that made the reception unique and fun. The six flower girls with big yellow balloons definitely stole the show. There’s a lot of love, tears, and laughter from this special wedding.

We had such a blast working with Gloria Wong from Gloria Wong Design, and her design always wow our imagination. Since Tony manages a seafood center, Gloria used water as the significant element for the wedding decoration. Water also is a sign of good fortune in Asian culture. One of my favorites was the wishing card fish pond. The pond was custom made for the couple. It was so nice and amusing, and the kids enjoyed watching the gold fish swimming happily in the water. All in all a wonderful day! Here are some other amazing vendors at the wedding: Photos by James Rubio Photography. White Chivari Chairs by Especially Yours. Lighting by Enchanced Lighting. Thank you so much Diep and Tony for having us being part of your special day!

Diep looked stunning in her red Vietnamese traditional dress, “Áo Dài”, during the tea ceremony.

Love the reception, it was sleek and modern. Be sure to scroll down to see the wishing card fish pond & the beautiful dessert table!
