I don't just create for pictures. I create for people. The spaces we build and the environments that we design are stunning displays are art, but they come to life when people are inside of them! This atrium was over 1,0000 square feet, filled with over 125,000 strands of twinkle lights. The trees stood 12 feet hight and were hand carved in Styrofoam, covered in a hard shell, and painted antique gold. Mounds of florals dotted the aisle way, bringing life to this space. It was ephemeral in the best sense...Taking a team of over 40 men 6 days to build. And then, just like that....It was gone. But for one, perfect night it was ours. And it was perfect.

I. Am. Obsessed. Welcome to my ceremony dream come true! When Jessica and Rob invited me into their lives, I had no idea the journey we would go on together. They were ideal clients in every sense of the word. They allowed me the freedom to design, play, and explore. They opened up to me completely, and allowed me to fully see who they are as people, which allowed me to design and experience that fully reflected their personalities. Jessie asked for something dark and romantic, with luxe touches that celebrated her love of contrast. She didn’t want to be overly floral forward, but she didn’t want something too austere. Getting married in the mountains of Lake Tahoe in the winter almost guarantees snowfall. To celebrate the season and the location while still keeping guests completely comfortable, we built a stunning atrium that allowed guests to take on the mountains, trees, and snow. I love a good tree moment, but I wanted some thing different from what I had done before. I kept seeing enormous, but barren trees, with flex of gold. Given that my bride loves jewelry and has a tremendous collection, we created a ceiling filled with rough, hand cut gems that fell from the sky and mixed them with the tiniest lights so that they would sparkle with warmth as she walked up the aisle. The floor was completed with a high gloss vinyl that reflected the ceiling. To add just a touch of romance we included large floral mounts between the clusters of black leather chevron backed chairs. We built this in a blizzard, with 40+ mph winds & over 4 feet of snow. It was the most intricate installations of my life under the more difficult weather conditions. I could not be prouder of the teams or the final result. Swipe right to see the production and my initial reaction (at 3 am!) when I walked the lighting grid.

How do you make your wedding stand out from the rest? What makes your wedding special? One of the easiest ways to create a compelling design is to play with your table arrangements. A lot of people immediately think of round tables with the occasional long banquet table, added in for interest. There are so many other options to consider! A serpentine table is one that whines through the room. You can modify the seating and the length by simply connecting the pieces at the edge. You end up with a really compelling interesting, set up that sneaks through the room. Typically, these tables are not as wide as other options. This requires you to get creative with your centerpieces. Opt for something tall that adds height and interest without taking up too much surface area. These tables featured smaller clusters of florals at the base, and the drama came from the shape, and the tall candelabras that followed the line of the design. Do you like the unique tablescape or do you prefer a traditional round? Leave your comments below.

Bird’s Eye View for days…. After months of obsessing over every element - from the carpet’s shade of white to the sheen on the champagne traps - it’s so satisfying to step back and see it all come together. This farm was really a study in neutrality, specifically in shades of white. A year before, I had done a wedding in cool white tones. My couple found it very inspiring, but I wanted to do something uniquely different for them. In designing the space, I really wanted to lean into the warmth of white. Playing with different shapes and textures really allowed us to appreciate the tonality and the different shades that we had brought into the space. Do you prefer warm, white, cool, white, or bright white? Let me know in the comments below.

PORTRAIT OF A BRIDE AND GROOM Beautiful wedding portraits are a must. I always want my clients to have some thing that is timeless and classic, with just a little bit of an edge. This photo really captures the loving intimacy between my bride and groom, and it definitely has a little bit of sex appeal to it. The ballroom looks stunning and pristine, and that massive statement making tree is the perfect backdrop for this scene.

Details, details… It’s often the little things that make a big impact on your wedding. Scroll through these images, and take a note of all the little details that we brought together to create this tablescape. Then, tell me what’s missing… . . . . The answer is NAPKINS! This table was so beautiful, with so many special touches, such as the individual bouquets tucked into crystal vases, the thick, triple, ply, menus, all of the gold accents… Trying to force a napkin fold onto the tablescape would have been a mistake. Instead, we “lapped” the napkins, meaning that a server placed them on the lap of each guest as dinner service was about to begin. This only took moments to do, and it added an elevated experience that allowed our guests to feel catered to.

Wedding Ceremony backdrops that are lush, full, and intricate - especially in a ballroom - make such an incredible statement. Not only do they make your photos so much more interesting and romantic, but they are a great way to convert a message and tell a story. This backdrop featured Hans painted panels that matches the pattern of the artwork found in my couple’s home. Between them, we created falls of flowers in different nights as a nod to the up and down journey. The peaks and the valleys were both beautiful, with petals overflowing out onto the stage and around the couple. Beautiful moments and beautiful people should be surrounded by beautiful things. Would you get married in front of a backdrop like this? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Vanessa + Robert’s pink and peach wedding was a dream come true! This luxury wedding was filled with roses, orchids, and hydrangea. White carpet and golden accents elevated the room and created a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. 1277 Days from planning to execution, and every one of them worth the wait.

Napa Valley, but make it glamorous. When Mahsa and Hank selected Viansa Winery, we knew we wanted to bring in some ultra-glam elements to enhance the space. Adding a full ceiling full of greenery, orchids, and chandeliers. The farmhouse tables speak to the space and the location, but using black made a major statement. It allowed us to make the space feel “fancy” while allowing all of our white florals to pop. And look at those chairs!!! Deep and moody, wide and comfy, with ivory sear cushions to make them pop against the rest of the space. Be on the lookout for close up images of our hanging cake set just to the side of the sweetheart table.
