Old World Charm - San Francisco Wedding

The Olympic Club in San Francisco is an historic club with an old world feel. To mesh well with the venue, we borrowed mixed vintage silver pieces and old books from brides mother to create the centerpieces. The woodsy, lush, and elegant design fit well with where the club is situated on the coast.

I loved these. I'm lucky to love what I do. It seems like every wedding, I think THESE are my favorite. And this was no exception. 

We enjoyed working with this client as well as Jennie from MAP events.

Here's the display of loveliness for the Sunday tented brunch at Dawn Ranch.

Loop chose more casual and fun linens to completely change the look of the tent from the night before. The colors and many of the flowers were the same, but we added in more whites and dark plum dahlias, as well as more casual and fun mix of ceramic containers, that really mixed up the look.

This was the party Friday night at Dawn Ranch before the wedding. We used the same color scheme throughout the entire weekend, but the look and feel changed based on the types of flowers we used as well as the containers and linens.

I love the look of this party with the little fiesta lights, benches, and linen linens....lovely linens by who else, La Tavola!

We created a labyrinth of flowers that was on site the weekend. I've walked the labyrinth at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, and it really does have a meditative effect.


Also pictured is a close up of some of the hanging pieces we created for the tent.

Dawn Ranch - Human Sized Nest

A human sized nest.

You know you are a match with your client when during the initial consultation you suggest a human sized nest and the bride almost falls out of her chair declaring "YES!!". 

Also, big gnarly wood chairs were rented from Loop. Gorgeous linens from La Tavola.
