Alex + Josh Wedding | The Maples in Woodland

11/4/2019

WCurrently featured in Our Wedding Magazine, Alex and Josh's dreamy wedding day was everything that they envisioned -- California ranch with an authentic, yet elegant energy for their guests, full of greenery, soft florals, wood tables, and subtle rustic touches.

The groom's father officiated a ceremony full of tears and laughter. The bride's father, who had passed away, was honored with photos and a bracelet for the bride, gifted by her mother. Our design team included local autumn olive branches and zinnias with eucalyptus and roses to round out the palette.

Soon after the wedding, the couple headed off to adventures in other states, following their dreams of travel and working for the military. They currently are awaiting the birth of their first baby, and we are beyond thrilled for them!

This gorgeous wedding is featured in the Winter 2019 issue of Our Wedding Magazine, and is featured on the amazing AshtonImagery blog.

Lucia + Patrick Wedding at Carneros Resort in Napa Valley

10/28/2019

0 Comments

We'll let you in on a secret -- we are falling in love with micro weddings at Carneros! Tucked away in the Napa hills is the Carneros Resort & Spa. A perfect get-away for small groups of family and friends to stay the night in luxury cottages, eat farm-to-table meals, tasted local wines, and take in views of the rolling hills of vines. A perfect destination wedding venue in the heart of the Napa Valley.

Lucia and Patrick opted for an intimate affair with elegance and California wine country charm. Their joyful ceremony was accommpanied by accoustic guitar and just steps away from their cottage. We love how they truly embraced the day with their small group, spending quality time with each person. Weddings like this also allow the couple to spend time exploring the treasures of the Napa Valley -- wedding and honeymoon all in one.

This fabulous Bay area couple looked far and wide for the perfect winery venue. They fell in love with Scribner Bend, located in picturesque Sacramento Delta with the river flowing along the windy road. Beer afficionados, the couple brewed their own specialty bottles for their guests. Customized beer cozies made the perfect favors, and guests grabbed every single one of them before the end of the night!

Surrounded by lush grape vines and florals, the couple shared their vows while honoring the groom's mom who had passed away with a specially designed chair. Some of the sweetest toasts we've ever heard were shared during an exquisite dinner and amazing dessert bar, followed by non-stop dancing under the moon.

A California vineyard wedding with a beer theme = perfect day for Amanda and Alan!

Surrounded by sunflower fields, Christina and Matt got married at exquisite Park Winters. Our team lovingly designed and produced a day filled with florals, textures and beauty, infused with love and joy from this amazing couple and their incredible families and friends.

We loved the bride's vision of roses climbing up a triangular arch, pops of mustard yellow (our favorite!), elevated linens, nods to their passion for travel, and the bride's own graphic arts touches.

The ceremony included a Chinese tea ritual to honor the parents, along with the groom singing to the bride, and sweet moments of humor during their vows. The A-team of vendors made the day flow smoothly and end on a high note with a live band and delicious desserts.

As much as we love weddings, our amazing team also loves corporate events! It was a pleasure to design and produce the annual Fall planting party for Windmill Vineyards.

Taking inspiration from the surrounding farms, farm tables were adorned with lavender and olive branches. A luscious family-style dinner with local wines and vintage tableware was shared by the guests. Guitar, toasts, and laughter could be heard into the evening.

We look forward to Windmill producing it's own wine in the near future!

Holiday Window at Sparkle Bridal Couture in Sacramento

8/5/2019

0 Comments

What an honor to be asked to design and produce the holiday window display for Sparkle Bridal Couture. Sparkle creates customized wedding dresses for size 14 on up, and is located in the heart of Sacramento.

Staying true to our TWE "anikothesi" design concept, we brought in textures and symbols of nature to create our version of winter. Jennifer spun local sheep's wool into chunky yarn and then Tunisian crocheted chokers and a bouquet holder. Mignon Floral fashioned floral headresses using deer horns from Blossom Farm Vintage rentals to place on top of the mannequins. A deer-themed cake from Batter Up Cakery, textured linens from La Tavola, and plant-dyed silk chiffons from us added whimsy to the look. Rick painted found branches silver for our forest.

Thank you to all of our amazing team vendors who made the display and the holiday reveal party a success!

If you dream of a wedding in the redwoods, look no further than Deer Park Villa in Fairfax. Hidden in the trees just outside the Marin hamlet, the venue is the perfect place to get married and enjoy a reception all in once space.

Eve and Paul envisioned a clean, elegant looks with pale florals and lovely tableware. The couple also wanted to share their love of being carnivores, and custom made their own spice rub as guests gifts!

The guests enjoyed a ceremony filled with laughter, a cocktail hour by the little pond, dinner under the magnificent trees, and dancing inside the lodge. The couple even snuck away for a few minutes to do photos alone at a nearby park to soak in the energy of the day. Truly, this wedding was one of our favorites to officiate and plan.

Two years in the making, Courtney hired us early to ensure that wedding planning was a breeze! The Maples was a brand-new venue, with pipes being laid in the ground, and landscaping still being planted when we toured together. With an eye for beauty and a vision for what could be an extraordinary wedding day, Courtney and Martin booked the venue and vendors quickly, taking time to work on details along the way.

Tones of blush, burgundy and gray created a dreamy palette with elevated florals and design elements. Working with Batter Up Cakery to design the most incredible dessert display was a highlight of the event!

Two weeks after this picture-perfect wedding, Courtney began working with us at TWE. She is now a valuable team member and has worked alongside us during wedding production all over Northern California!

The most glorious and magical of days happened among the trees in idyllic Shingle Springs. Faye and Chris envisioned an intimate wedding with close friends and family that was relaxed, musical, and a bit boho!

The bride collected unique decor and tableware, and created smudging gifts for favors. Ceremony in the trees with hanging florals and a meditative singer was a highlight, as was the cutest photo booth bus we've ever seen! The cake hung from the rafters, appearing to float on its own. Beta fish swam in bowls during dinner. The most luscious, colorful florals exuded vibrance and love. And, the estate gifted the couple with a horse as a wedding gift!
