Alexandra & Greg

Over the summer, I worked on Alexandra & Greg's wedding - another project thru my work with bash, please. I loved this couple and loved their wedding - they had a clear, thoughtful vision for their wedding day and the style and energy of the wedding echoed their personalities perfectly: creative, artistic, beautiful, and warm.
They got married at Greg's brothers house in the Hollywood Hills - the gorgeous backyard has three different levels, all which were utilized for different aspects of the wedding. Dinner was on the main level outdoor patio, ceremony and dancing on the mid-level, and photos and post-wedding shmoozing on the top level with amazing views of the city. We should all be so lucky to have a venue this pretty and perfect in the family!

Paige + Kelly did an incredible job with the design details - I especially love the way they decorated the tree, which was the focal point of the ceremony and reception. I also love the unique ways they worked with Alexandra to integrate her textile designs into the scheme of the whole day, which added an extra personal touch to everything - her designs were on the invitations, the napkins, the different buntings and banners, on the flowers and hanging from the tree. Paige surprised the couple with a customized canvas that hung as a backdrop to the dinner buffet - I loved that detail and was so excited when Alexandra + Greg loved it, too.
Alexandra was interested and involved in all aspects of planning and I worked closely with her to coordinate all of the different elements of the day - we thoughtfully went over different quotes and considered all options to ensure we stayed within their budget (or reasonably close to it!) and created a detailed timeline that made sure the day had the flow and feel that they imagined.
This wedding was lovely in every way: from the intimate, outdoor setting, to the incredible food, to the personal + creative finishing touches, to the warm and wonderful bride + groom themselves. I'm so lucky to have been part of it!
