Viansa Bridal Event

amyburke Posted In: Sonoma, Weddings, wine country

These are our two tables from the Viansa bridal event.  One table had a tall lamp shade centerpiece made of crystals and orchids.  The other table was a long farm table with quirky elements like antlers and salvaged glass.

Photo shoot for Ceremony Magazine at the Garden Court Hotel in Palo Alto.  With the help of Janece from Every Elegant Detail we tried to create a dramatic and theatrical look with a heavily molded gold frame.  The frame was lined with magenta flowers and had an asymmetrical arrangement of purple phalaenopsis orchids on top.  Hanging gloriosa lilies were used as accents inside of the frame along with mercury glass stemware filled with peonies and dahlias on the table.  Photography by Lucie XYZ.

We’re thrilled to have our photo shoot from the Spanish Suite at The Clift Hotel on the back cover of the The Knot-Northern California – Fall/Winter issue.  We are also excited to be an editors pick in the best of weddings for 2011 in the same magazine.

Wendy Yalom shot this October wedding from The Clift Hotel.  I love the combination of Halloween and traditional wedding elements.  The art deco style cake is by Cake Coquette.
