A BRIDE AND HER VISION

I just love it when our couples have a clear vision on what they want their wedding day to look like.  It makes it so much easier on all the vendors to ensure a successful wedding.  The wedding on Sunday, May 29th of Lauren & Aaron, definitely had a vision and oh what a vision it was!

 

Lauren could definitely be a wedding planner and does have some interest in doing that in her future.  She definitely hit it out of the ballpark with her own wedding and all the little details that gave you that “wow” moments.  Lets start with the ceremony.

 

Lauren & Aaron got married right in front of Viognier vines at Keswick Vineyards.  This has always been one of our most popular spots.  Take a look at the floral arbor that framed them at the alter as they said there I do’s.  Their florist, Steel Cut, perfection!  Not only did guests get to enjoy the beauty of their ceremony location but Lauren had musicians play versus having a DJ.  Melodious Strings sounded beautiful not only for the ceremony but also during cocktail hour.  So now, lets talk about cocktail hour.

 

When Keswick Vineyards re-did their cocktail lawn area over their winter break last year, I always pictured that area to have a white circular bar right in the middle and guess what?  Lauren fulfilled my vision by doing exactly that and it was even more beautiful than I had pictured.  Steel Cut added some greenery to the monogrammed bar along with swagged bistro lights; perfection!!!

 

And now, the reception.  I immediately was in love with the lace overlay linen on some of her tables and the velvet linens on the other tables.  The monogrammed linen napkins at each place setting along with a scroll paper hanging from each champagne glass with the name of the guest at each setting was just some of those little details that just takes everything up a notch.  And the china she chose; simply elegant!  But perhaps my new all-time favorite is having greenery hanging from the swagged bistro lights under the tent and doing nothing on the poles.  The greenery suspended throughout the tent had this delicate feel to it tying the outdoors into the tent.

 

Lauren & Aaron’s wedding was on the smaller side with only 52 people attending.  I’m often asked by couples touring wondering if the tent is too big for a wedding of that size.  I always tell my couples, no.  Just look how full the tent looks for this wedding.  By adding different shapes of tables and adding some furniture and doing food stations, this tent fills full.  Again, Lauren knew exactly what she was doing and scores an A+ from me!

 

PS  As if their guests weren’t already blown away by being greeted with a glass of champagne when they arrived to all the details, Lauren & Aaron had a food truck come for a late night snack serving ice cream over waffles!   What an amazing wedding and I can’t wait to see their photos from Jen Farrielo!
