Dorothy & Wilson exchanged their vows at Carmel Valley Ranch — a perfect tranquil backdrop for a intimate wedding. 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. Here are the amazing vendors who made this fun & whimsical wedding came to life: Photos by Anna Kuperberg. Floral & Event Design by Mints Design. Cake by Layers Sensational Cakes.

This is such a cute idea for a little girl birthday party, a helium balloon invitation from On Hand Modern. Love the message on the tiny folded inserts, too. “Tiny food and tons of fun for a little girl who is turning one.”

Diep & Tony’s wedding was such a fun celebration of their love! 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!
