Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club Wedding- Elegant & Whimsical DIY Details

January 15, 2012 Posted by - Mary Lois and Anna

We worked on this lovely wedding in October. The bride and groom were full of great ideas and infused the day with so many sweet, personalized touches.

Handmade programs, rose petal cones, and seventeen individual guest books (one for each table) were designed and created by the bride and her mother. As favors, the bride’s sisters who are both accomplished photographers, created postcards that featured beautiful images from their travels.

Another fantastic detail- instead of wedding cake, this couple chose wedding pie. And the pie wouldn't have been complete without the FUN handmade toppers made by the bride, which actually resembled the couple.

Loop designed all floral arrangements. We loved working with this couple and their creative team, which included Julie Nunn Martin of I DO! Events and Laura Grier of Beautiful Day Photography.

Beaulieu Garden - Majestically Beautiful Wedding Venue

September 27, 2009 Posted by - Mary Lois and Anna
This wedding at Beaulieu Garden in Napa is our new favorite. Loop just installed this wedding yesterday, and is was such a delight to be on this majestic and gloriously beautiful property.

I love this palette. Usually if a bride says she looking at a palette in red and yellow, it can sound a little circusy. But you add in a slate gray and the palette becomes more stylish and sophisticated. We made the floral palette work by using three colors of red, most importantly working with a medium red and an almost black dahlia and mixing it with only buttery yellows. Eliminating green foliage and using plum branches as a foliage made the palette rich and luxurious. 

I had the lovely team Yami and Luis working with me yesterday, and as Luis and I returned from the ceremony site, Yami bounded up and declared that the tables looked AMAZING. When Luis and I turned the corner and saw the tables all set with the flowers, we both said, at the same time, "I just got goosebumps". I don't feel the pictures do it justice, is was that pretty. I mean, it made a DUDE say "I just got goosebumps". 

I think this palette for a September wedding was such a delicious take on Autumn: light and lux and luxurious.

Hopefully I have more images to share soon.

This was the escort idea that my clients came up with as they had an old card catalogue! Such a cute and distinctive escort card idea.

Old World Charm - San Francisco Wedding

September 24, 2009 Posted by - Mary Lois and Anna
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.

Dawn Ranch - Sunday Brunch

September 23, 2009 Posted by - Mary Lois and Anna
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.
