Its been a long time since I last posted! I've been extremely busy to say the least travelling to cities like Atlanta, Washington DC, Hampton, VA, New York and New Orleans! Many, many events for many different reasons but the one that I am highlighting today was much closer to home.A wedding I did in Kenwood, CA (Sonoma - Napa area) just 2 weeks ago was beyond amazing. The location is a hidden gem in the valley...no signage on the outside of the property so you would never know it was there. Matter of fact, I passed it 6 times trying to find it my first time there. They only started doing weddings last year and the owner still lives on the property. If, you want to know where it is, contact me and I'll share ;-)
What made this wedding so amazing was not just the location, but the people. The couple - Mike and Heather - were so loving, so laid back, and so meant to be. Everyone at the wedding shared the love and support for them. Not to mention the fact that the bride's family was uber talented!
Let's see if I can paint the right picture - her aunt made her wedding dress, her grandmother did all the floral arrangements, her dad put up some of the decor, her cousin's boyfriend was the photographer (amazing work that I'll be sharing with you soon), her bridesmaid made the ties for the groomsmen and ushers and lots of family members made special recipes for the dessert table! When you've got family like that, who needs vendors!
It was hotter than Hades out there as it was about 92 degrees as we were setting up. It was set to be a hot day so the grandmother brought wooden fans and the groom's mother brought antique handkerchiefs. Such a great idea and definitely helped guests cool off during the day.
I'm still kind of on a high from the wedding and can't wait to share some official wedding photos with you from the photographer when their ready!
Happy Planning!
