Simply chic... Fabulously unique

Crocker Art Museum Wedding, J+B

jbf0576

Last week, I shared the Sikh Ceremony and celebration for J + B on the blog. And, today I am so excited to share their Jewish ceremony and reception, held at The Crocker Art Museum, with you.

In contrast to the bright reds and saturation of color at the Sikh Ceremony, we wanted to create a soft, beautiful and romantic feeling for this evening soiree. We used an abundance of beautiful white orchids and a monochromatic palette of silver and white, which we then accented with pops of the perfect shade of yellow. But even with all of the beautiful decor, it was J’s dress and pure beauty that stole the show {as you will soon see!}. If I had to pick one word to describe this day, it would absolutely be “stunning”.

Enjoy some more amazingness from True Love Photo!

The party lasted late into the night and the dance floor was as packed as I’ve ever seen it thanks to Bryan of Music and More. In spite of the fact that we had a hot, 14 hour day in August, this party could have continued all night and everyone would have stayed and danced. The energy was amazing! You only get a few weddings this good every year. I truly cherish the memories of this beautiful day.

Sikh Wedding Sacramento ~ J + B

Sikh Wedding Sacramento by True Love Photo, 2Chic Events & Design

Oh, how I just love this wedding… It was the type of day where, once you thought it was as beautiful as things could ever get, it got even more beautiful. We started off the morning with a traditional Sikh wedding, held at the Sikh Temple of Sacramento, followed that same evening with a beautiful Jewish Ceremony and reception. Yes, two full weddings in one day my friends!

 

This couple was so special to me. I loved their hearts, their genuine souls, and their willingness to open up to each others’ traditions and families whole-heartedly. They have such an amazing love…I could gush all day. But instead, I will let you gush while you enjoy Part I of this 2 part feature {up next – their Jewish wedding and reception at The Crocker Art Museum} photographed by my dear friend and uber-talented photographer, Beth of True Love Photo.

 

Harvest Inn Wedding:: Winnie + Onnie

Harvest-Inn-Wedding_0007

Winnie and Onnie reside in Canada, and chose the Napa Valley as the location for their intimate, garden wedding amongst the vines at The Harvest Inn.We started planning and designing this wedding together last October and in just six short months, we created this meticulously personalized stunner of a wedding.

The weather was as good as it gets in April, and the warmth and sunshine didn’t stop there. Winnie and Onnie celebrated their day beautifully with their closest friends and family in attendance…and they definitely did it in style. Miss Winnie broke the record for dress changes with a whopping 5 dresses; each one so incredibly unique and beautiful {more to come on that soon!}. Onnie is always looking sharp, but of course even more than ever on this day.

P.S. I realize that I’m getting a little ahead of myself, since I haven’t blogged several beautiful weddings from last year yet. But, I spied these images on Lyndsay Undseth’s blog this morning and I absolutely couldn’t resist posting this one today. In case you didn’t know, Lyndsay is a rock star of a photographer, as you’ll see below.

Dress number one was a favorite of mine

I loved all of the little details that Winnie incorporated.

I loved the cute little signs we incorporated from The Find.

Bloomers Floral Design did an amazing job of bringing our vision to life.

Thank you for trusting me with this day Winnie + Onnie! I wish you a lifetime of bliss!

 

XO, Aimee

Wilson Vineyards Wedding:: Amy + Jonathan

Wilson Vineyards Wedding by The Youngrens, 2Chic Events & Design

Ahhh, Amy & Jon….A couple who had me at “The ideal Saturday is one in which the time window between drinking coffee and switching to wine is a small one”. Amy & Jon live on the east coast and I was absolutely thrilled when they hired me to design their Wilson Vineyards wedding. Getting to know them via phone and email was fun, and meeting them in person was such a breath of fresh air. They are sweet, loving, and in total awe of each other. You can literally feel their love when you’re in the room with them.

Amy & Jon share a love of music, travel and wine and Amy loves the color purple. After reading their design questionnaires and learning a bit about their taste and personalities, I was immediately drawn to the idea of incorporating music sheets and mixing soft and rich purple hues with the sharpness of black and white.

I’m not going to lie; it took some serious persuasion to sell the incorporation of black and white into the design to Amy & Jon. But once, they bought in, they really did an amazing job of working with it. Jon’s shoes were a total surprise to me and I LOVE them. Overall, I love the way we were able achieve such a subtle cohesiveness throughout the design without overpowering it with the black and white.

A few of my other favorite design elements for this wedding were the paper music hearts that we sprinkled down the aisle in lieu of the traditional petals, the ah-dorable chair backs and table numbers, the escort card display and the amazing dessert bar. Collaborating with my friends at Honey Paperie and Sweet Cakes by Rebecca always seems to be the perfect way to tie the elements together for a finished look.

 And, as every planner/designer knows, there is NOTHING better than receiving images of your work that capture the details perfectly and truly blow your mind. My breath was taken away by the stunning photography of The Youngrens.

 

More details from this wedding will hit the blog soon!

Fun Fact: I have planned/designed 5 weddings at Wilson Vineyards. all 5 brides had names that start with A. My last 3 were all named Amy.
