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.

Real Weddings: Diep & Tony
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!
Diep looked stunning in her red Vietnamese traditional dress, “Áo Dài”, during the tea ceremony.

Real Weddings: Lina & James
Lina & James got married at Nestldown, and it was just gorgeous! The yellow dahlias and white daisies that we one-by-one put into the arch had came together so nicely. Not only the flowers appeared like naturally blooming from the vine, the yellow color matched perfectly with the bridesmaids dresses. We were blessed to work with Augie Chang, and his pictures were absolutely breath taking. Lina’s mom was so sweet to us, too. Thank You for your kind thought and gift!!
Cheers to Lina & James… we were so happy to have been part of your wedding celebration! It was a wonderful day indeed.

I wanted to post these pictures for a very long time as this is one of “my” favorite 2007 designs! I love it so much because I handcrafted it myself. I love it so much because it has all the little things I heart, such as green hydrangea, red, yellow and orange ranunculus, small tomatoes, lemons, and manzanita branches!! and I love it so much because of its vibrant color and it just makes me happy. hm…are you thinking a yellow and orange wedding too?
