Real Wedding Inspiration: Ainee & Le's Romantic Ceremony

At most weddings I get a little camera happy taking photos of all the details, but at this one all I found were the ceremony pictures below...Maybe it was all the detailed moving parts I had to help coordinate, like the horse & carriage entrance, but I guess I didn't have time to take pictures. Luckily, the two I have are great & show off the romantic ambiance of Ainee & Le's ceremony.

For the arrival of their guests & the ceremony music, Ainee & Le opted for a traditional, classical approach, using the talented harp & woodwind performers from our vendor list.

They had the arbor softened up with sheer white fabric & lots of romantic floral details by Petals by Xavi. Also notice the pink uplights they had shining through the white fabric to further enhance the warm look of the arbor. The florists also draped fabric all the way down the aisle over several pedestals with beautiful arrangements on top. Finally, below the arbor we set up a small table for their sand ceremony. The end result, perfection!

We hope you had a wonderful wedding Ainee & Le!

Real Wedding Inspiration: Sarah & Juan's Tiffany Blue Wedding

Nothing says marry me like a little teal box (what girl doesn't love Tiffany's after all?). In this case, our couple of love birds, Sarah & Juan, decided to continue the Tiffany blue color scheme into their wedding ceremony & reception.

The seating cards had pretty teal printed names with a teal diamond on the top left corner to further dress them up.

Their wedding programs also looked very elegant & were tied together with a teal ribbon.

For the ceremony this couple chose to keep it simple & classy with our white four post arbor, a beautiful white center spray of flowers, & white petals down the aisle. Also they had candles in vases at the beginning & end of the aisle that brought in their teal color scheme.

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed the cocktail hour outside on the terrace where our trees are lit up making for a lovely view. The lake on the golf course has a fountain which can be lit up as well that looks fantastic at night.

 Next guests were welcomed into the Pine Hurst Room & found their tables with these teal adorned table numbers on cute Eiffel Tower holders.

The tables had teal linen with silver chargers & alternating all white short & tall arrangements by our preferred vendor, Sun Kissed Flowers. The full white hydrangeas with delicate white roses were the perfect subtle arrangement to compliment the upscale look of the tables.

Now for the lovely cake by our preferred vendor Jaqki's Bakery-They went with a youthful Hello Kitty topper with lots of detailed floral designs on the cake. 

 On their way out, the guests could pick from the adorable bride & groom favor boxes of candies (notice the teal ribbon they added to the bride's dress) or the handmade flowers inside of customized teal shot glasses for the guests who didn't have a sweet tooth.

From beginning to end, this wedding was perfectly pulled together with Tiffany Blue (aka teal) details throughout.

Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. on a wonderful wedding & an amazing future together!

Real Wedding Inspiration: Amy & Garrett's Fine Wine Love Affair

Another fantastic wedding at Porter Valley-Amy & Garrett enjoyed a wine themed wedding & reception with their family & friends. They chose a rich maroon & ivory color scheme to go with their theme & added several extra touches that made their wedding special.



Scrolls with a thoughtful message to guests were displayed in a personalized wood box at the reception table

The seating cards were fittingly propped on top of wine bottle corks

A pretty bird cage where guests could leave cards for the bride & groom was also placed next to the guest book



The ceremony was elaborately decorated with shepherds hooks holding up hanging rose balls of alternating fall colors

The arbor looked very nice with extra draping

The center spray floral arrangement was very autumnal & brought in all their colors perfectly

The couple chose cute sand ceremony vases shaped like hearts for the symbolic tradition

Chocolates that said "Love" on them were at the bar for the guests who had a sweet tooth

And for the cigar connoisseur, a cigar bar was set up outside for guests to enjoy on the terrace

Of course a custom menu of the hosted bar options was in order for this wine themed wedding

The fresh fruit punch & champagne punch display was decorated to theme by our staff.

Tables had menus in a pocket fold maroon napkin, as well as the "LOVE" glass coasters for the party favors placed at each seating. One of our preferred florist, David Blair, did an excellent job bringing Fall colors and lots of texture to the tables with these lovely centerpieces.

Their tables were named after different wines to go with the theme of the night and the signs were placed on tiny easels on top of mirrors with little glass crystals tossed around. To top off the look they had rose petals sprinkled about the table.

And here's the room, all finished with guests seated outside for the ceremony...

 

The couple opted for adding in maroon sashes to complete the look of the room as well as having us light the posts and drape them in sheer fabric.

Our Banquet Captain Chris Garcia, pulls out all the stops when it comes to decorating our buffet tables. Lovely job Chris!

Love this Fall colored sweetheart table that was spilling over with an abundance of flowers. Also, adore the peacock fold our staff made with the couple's napkins, which really complimented the table's decor

Amy & Garrett said "I Do", and so did their cake! These wood cut outs spelling out their promise was very sweet. The pretty cake made by our preferred vendor, Delicious Bakery, was topped with their initials and decorated with vibrant flowers. I do hope you enjoyed this recap and we do wish Amy & Garrett a very happy married life!

Congratulations Amy & Garrett!
