Congrats Lisa and Stephen!!! They celebrated their special day in the beautiful Napa Valley amongst their closest friends and family over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. I was lucky enough to join them to help them prepare for the big day. We had beautiful and moderate temperatures, compared to the 90+ degrees just a couple of weeks earlier. Lisa was a glowing bride and Stephen was a happy groom, ready to start off their fun filled weekend.
I absolutely love the Napa and Sonoma valleys. I love wine and great food, and I find Napa to be like my second home. I am so glad that I was able to work with this awesome couple in one of my favorite places of all time.
I got these great photos from Richard Wood Photography. He is one of the most sought after photographers in the Napa area. It was so nice to work with him and I hope to see him again at future weddings!!
The Holy Family Church was such a lovely Catholic mission. The church was intimate and had tons of history within its walls. Can you imagine how many marriages and special celebrations have been witnessed here? It was truly a magical place and a perfect setting to get married amongst the Napa wineries. The church even had their own vineyard growing in the back.
My favorite details were the wish tree, the special guest photos, the wine bottle guest sign in, and all of the beautiful flowers. I loved the fountain, it looked so romantic with the flowers drifting around in the water.
The bride also incorporated the wine theme in her table names; calling them Cakebread, Rubicon, Silver Oak, etc. She found these really cute wine glass place card holders that we used for the table name cards.
Her color scheme was gold, green, champagne, and pale pink. She wanted to balance off the natural setting you find in Napa.
More importantly, the couple wanted to ensure that their friends and family, who flew from all parts of the world would enjoy their time in California. They even hosted a wine tour for their guests the next day. We were also able to help Lisa and Stephen plan this fun day out.
The backdrop of the Napa Valley at sunset was breathtaking. I know that Lisa and Stephen will remember this special day for a lifetime. They are a super couple and I wish them nothing but happiness together! Congrats!!!

Whenever I get a free weekend day I like to take advantage of it! Today we had a chance to go see the Getty Villa. Its been a while since I was last there, but my sister and her family wanted to meet there and have lunch and walk around a bit.
It was so nice there today! It wasn’t super crowded. We had a pleasant and tasty lunch outdoors at the cafe. Afterwards we took my 4 year old niece around to see the kids area and the gardens. She loved the herb garden in particular because of the fruit and herbs we saw growing. She recognizes a lot of the names of herbs from all the help she gives her mom in the kitchen.
While I was walking around I saw these really nice water lilies in the herb garden area. There were some blooms on the lily pads while got me thinking…how pretty would water lilies be as centerpieces? It would be so exotic and serene in a bowl of water. How simple and different at the same time.
Here are the photos I snapped of the beautiful flowers.
I love the Getty Villa because you can spend a nice Sunday afternoon with family and just enjoy the peacefulness of the space. There are lots of benches and sitting areas for you to just sit and chat with a coffee or tea.

First of all, I must send my biggest congratulations to Taylor and Chris! This awesome couple was married on May 2nd at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, surrounded by family and close friends. Their style was clean, modern with grace and elegance. The wedding color palette included bright and bold pink and purple hues, with touches of green to match the Greystone Gardens.
The favors doubled as escort cards. We displayed them along the beautiful tree walk to the pool reception. I really loved how Taylor carefully put together gift bags for their younger guests, that were filled with toys and games to keep them entertained throughout the day. I know that each one of those little ones loved their gifts, with matchbox cars diving off the tables during dinner and young artists drawing into their coloring books.
The weather held up and kept away any forecasted moisture, and Greystone was beautiful with its garden in full spring bloom. We simply accented with the bride and groom’s special touches, as Greystone on its own was quite impressive.
Without further ado, I’m going to post a few photos of the day. I haven’t received any photos from the photographer yet, so I’m just excitedly posting from my own point and shoot camera. I’ll add the photographers photos when I get them.
Thanks Malia for all of your help! I couldn’t have done it without you!
I really loved working with this great couple, helping them plan all the details and then see it through on this perfect day. I also had the opportunity to work with some awesome vendors as usual. The venue itself was breathtaking, and it was a pleasure to work with all of the rangers that day. I hope that I get to come back to work at Greystone again!
