More from Dawn Ranch - Friday Night Party

September 22, 2009 Posted by - Mary Lois and Anna

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!

Dawn Ranch

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.

Dawn Ranch Wedding - Magic Under the Tent

September 16, 2009 Posted by - Mary Lois and Anna
The look here is one that Loop is known for..elegant and understated. I love this combination of slightly over the top baroque inspired dreamy tabletop with the wooden tables and chairs that bring the design down to earth. 

The flowers were the perfect combination of things that created a luscious, woodland, and elegant look with orchids, garden roses, and dahlias mixed with woodsy elements.

We wanted to create a woodland feast, an enchanted mid summer's night...This was definitely one of my favorites of the year.
