Wedding Gown Detail...a second look!

When you are in love with the details on your wedding dress, why not allow those details to be enjoyed at other times during your wedding day?  Grace, one of my Fall brides, chose to copy the amazing flower design from her gown into the decorations for her wedding cake...

and in her hair, for a touch of interest when her veil came off after the ceremony.

In the upcoming blog posts,  I will be sharing creative ideas from several of my 2011 weddings...I have learned so much as I worked alongside my wonderful brides and grooms this year, that I can't wait to share them with my readers!

Candy and cocktails, 32nd floor!

I have seen many types of candy buffets in the last few years since the fun favor display became popular; but Shasta and Anthony broke all records for the number of candies provided to their guests at their Westin St. Francis wedding reception last month.

Thirty six jars of different candies were displayed on the Imperial Floor of the Westin St. Francis as guests entered Alexandra's for dinner.  The candy was provided by Shasta's father who is in the food industry, and the display was created by Grant Rector, who was our florist/designer for the wedding.  This was one of the sweetest parts of his set up, according to Grant!  The guests  had a hard time waiting until after dinner to begin filling their "take home" containers with the bounty.

 View from Alexander's on the 32nd floor (Imperial Floor) at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco where Shasta and Anthony's guests enjoyed cocktails, before they saw the candy buffet, with background music by Anthony's grandfather at the grand piano.

Anthony's grandfather, relaxed and confident, provided beautiful background cocktail music for Anthony and Shasta's wedding guests in Victor's on the 32nd Imperial Floor at the Westin St. Francis.
