1 Fort Mason Officer's Club Wedding

Congratulations S & H! On 08.02.08 we witnessed the beautiful union of S & H. I knew from the moment I met S that their wedding would be amazing and I am so honored you chose us to coordinate it. I often become friends with my clients and S is certainly someone I consider a friend. Just check out these beautiful pictures.

I love these bird themed lanterns. These would be great tied to chairs for aisle decor or on tables at the reception.




Gotta love these colorful wooden buckets.





What a great way to serve a non-alcoholic wine inspired drink.

Happy Birthday T!

On 07.27.08 we set up for a backyard birthday party for Karen's (Huckleberry Karen Designs) MIL. Karen of course did the fresh and fun centerpieces. I loved the Moire Bee patterned linen that we chose. Happy Birthday T!

I love the color and different heights of these centerpieces.

These chair covers are different and interesting. Maybe for the bride and grooms seat at the reception.





These could be a great alternative to renting costly silverware.





I am in love with these slate placecard holders.

Many brides know that wedding cakes are expensive. They are more like art than cake. If you are daring enough you could always try to DIY the cake. Wendy Kromer offers edible decorations that you can buy like these cute birds.




Looking for a unique thank you card to wow your guests. These will do the trick.



I love these personalized ice cream scoops. They also sell knives, forks and spoons!



These labels are very modern and cool.

Love this whole picture.

Our First Knot....

A year after we coordinated our first wedding we have made it into a bridal magazine.

Congrats to J & K whose wedding is featured. Here are some pictures we took of their wedding. There is also a gallery of these images taken by the talented Julie Mikos on our main site.

Congratulations C & C

On 07.12.08 we witnessed the nuptials and celebration of C & C. Both were so nice and their wedding was so beautiful. They chose a Hawaiian theme including orchid leis that greeted guests on their way into the Fort Mason Officer's Club. Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day!

The bride's future sister in law has a letterpress and calligraphy company. Lucky girl.....

One year ago........07.07.08

After 8 1/2 years together Ricardo and I tied the knot on 07.07.07. It was the greatest day of our lives thus far. For our 1 year anniversary we traveled back up to the Calistoga Ranch and the beautiful Napa Valley. Just outside the entrance to the Calistoga Ranch I spotted this (wish I would have seen it last year....it would have made for a great picture):

I surprised R with a hot air balloon ride. It was our first but certainly not our last:

Obama, LIVESTRONG and the ring flying high.

Lucky for us we got to stay in the same room we stayed in the weekend of our wedding. #133 Creek feels like home:

"Cool Things Wednesdays" is Sweeping the Nation :)

When Wishpot asked me to be a "wedding expert" I was floored and honored.

When they asked me if they could republish Cool Things Wednesdays for their blog I fell out of my chair.

For those of you unfamiliar with Wishpot you can register for anything your little heart desires. A great site in my opinion. Check them out!

What a cute and rustic way to hold pens for your guestbook. From NapaStyle.



I love this message in a bottle invitation. My grass obsession continues...


These silver vessels are elegant and beautiful.



I love this green cake stand.

Looks like an April Reed Cake.

Congratulations T & J

On the Fourth of July we headed down to Fogarty Winery in Woodside. This venue boasts an amazing view which all of T & J's guests were able to experience. T & J were so great to work with and made such a beautiful couple. I wish them tons of happiness and am glad we were able to meet and work with them!

The aisle decor was simple, elegant and beautiful. Nicole Ha provided all florals.

The escort cards doubled as favors (wine stoppers).

The complete table.

Cards de luxe designed the table numbers, menus, and escort cards.

Cupcakes from Love at First Bite.

Lucky for us T & J hired one of our favorite vendors, Doug Shannon. Here is a picture of him sketching their amazing harpist Anna Maria Mendieta. We were fortunate enough to have Doug sketch us as a warmup almost 1 year after he sketched us on our wedding day!

And last but not least our favorite DJ's BIG FUN Disc Jockeys provided the beats.
