Real Wedding Inspiration: Oanh & Adam's Fairytale Ceremony & Reception

This wedding was a joy to be a part of because the couple was so sweet, as were their families, & they had some great romantic touches, like a horse & carriage as well as custom lighting with sheer drapping on the banquet room pillars.
We enjoyed the special details the bride & groom added, including these cute table names (like our previous bride who named each table after characteristics of a loving marriage) with a photo of the couple together; This definitely added a personal touch to the reception.
Their favors were so cute-little handmade magnets imported from Vietnam (where the bride's family was from) to add a cultural element to the wedding. They also included a sweet message to their guests on a card with the favor.
Another beautiful cake by one of our preferred vendors, La Creme; Very pretty delicate designs & light pink flowers to match the centerpieces.
The couple had a lovely, elegant arbor decorated with sheer white drapping & lots of flowers flowing over the top & sides.
This was my first wedding at Porter Valley where the couple had the horse & carriage (which is included in our $13,000 inclusive package; some opt to remove it & use the credit towards other things like more flowers). I absolutely loved it! It really added a fantasy, fairytale type element to the wedding. It wasn't too overdone, but made it extra special.
Another fun thing about the horse & carriage is that the guests were expecting to see the bride & her father come down the aisle after the rest of the wedding party, but then when they came riding in on the side by the golf course on the carriage everyone was caught off guard & started clapping. It added a fun element of surprise & I bet the bride felt a rush of excitement coming around the corner on the horse to her wedding!
The happy couple leaving their wedding ceremony in elegant style!
Congratulation Oanh & Adam! We hope you have a fairytale marriage too!
