Berkeley Wedding by Leo Patrone
We have had a jam packed day of gorgeousness, complete with DIY projects, insanely lovely invitations and the announcement that we’ll be doing our From Inspiration to Reality feature again. It’s been a fun day on SMP and to be honest, the content today is the reason that I love what I do. So much creativity, so much of the pretty, so much wedding goodness. Well, this next feature that Leo Patrone sent us, is just the icing on the already really great cake.
As I mentioned, the fabulous (and I when I say fabulous, I am hardly doing him justice) Leo Patrone sent us today’s real wedding and it is complete and total loveliness. From the perfect bride, to the undeniably gorgeous flowers and sweet little details, every bit of it is swoon-worthy. With a soft, feminine color palette and a really simple approach to design, this couple managed to pull off an affair that is as timeless as it is chic. I love that. It’s a style that will forever remain gorgeous, that will forever be used as inspiration.
The wedding was held at Tilden Park in Berkeley’s Brazil Room. It was planned by Jessica Goldblatt from Dreams on a Dime Events and Weddings and was a perfect combination of timeless elegance, and a fun, modern sense of whimsy. You can actually feel the joy in each and every photo with a bride and groom that are clearly madly in love and a celebration that is all charm.
Make sure to check out Leo’s ridiculously cool site and his blog that is completely filled with eye candy and inspirations! Even a couple of the prettiest weddings you’ve ever seen.

I luv the wedding cake topper too cute!
Leo is so good. Every time we look at his blog, is just gets better and better and better and...
Where can the shoes be found!?
Beautiful wedding! It has such a romantic feel.
Meghan - The shoes are Nina Paladin (http://www.zappos.com/nina-paladin-white-luster-satin )
Any idea where she got the dress with the ruffled bodice?
So I think I've been stuck in the land of raising two babies but I just met Paul from Studiofoto.com and have known the Grazier's forever but after listening to them both gush about Style Me Pretty had to come over today and I can't wait to send all of our brides here. The details you are finding are amazing....but you know that :) Love the little cake people!
Two of my very favorite couples ever...both have photographed my family a lot. Love, love, love them.
I LOVE Leo's work. It is amazing and incredible every time I see something new. Don't worry Leo! I'm putting away money so you can shoot my wedding one day!
What FABULOUS pictures! I love Leo's work. I wish someone would invent a time machine so I could go back five years and he could shoot my wedding. Of course I'd have to lose 25 pounds so I could fit into my dress again ... but it would be a small price to pay. Leo, you're amazing. Can't wait to see what you do next!
I love the bride's dress! The color in the pictures is beautiful and the couple looks so happy. Great work, Leo!
This is gorgeous. I'm soo excited because Leo is shooting my wedding in April :)
It looks like the dress with the ruffled boddess is Melissa Sweet "Fern". It is a really beautiful gown and it fits the wedding style perfectly. Very sweet and pretty.
I'm crazy about the chalkboard, what a charming idea!!
Leo's work is always inspiring. When I look at the photos, I feel like I am right there at the wedding. He captures the mood and the joy of the day perfectly every time. Beautiful couple and gorgeous photos!!
Leo's photos are always so lovely...he has the best eye. I love the floral arrangements and the cute chalkboard seating chart.
Love that seating chart! So fun!
I love love love the cake topper!
Wow, such beautiful pictures. I looooove the lighting. So soft, so romantic...
Simply amazing!!
the love comes out of the photos and warms the soul...so many details of thought and simplicity. I love the chalkboard seating chat, the hand painted matching cake dolls, and great shoes! I love the lighting... intimate and romantic. wow...
The bride's shoes are quite lovely and so is her wedding dress. I love the cake toppers too, cute and comical but what I admire the most is the couple's sweetness in front of the camera. One can see the love and inspiration, sparkling in their eyes! I love your wedding photos! Thanks for sharing!!!
I love that cute pic of the bride at the top of the post - it's just so natural. I'm also with the rest of the world on the gorgeous cake toppers :)
GOORGGEEOOUUSS! Amazing wedding photos! Love the colors!!!
I love the Brazil Room -- we wanted to get married there but the entire summer booked more than a year in advance! Beautiful wedding.
The dress is definitely the Melissa Sweet "Fern." I know for a fact because it is my dress too! The pictures turned out wonderfully and this makes me super excited for my wedding in June!
Gorgeous. Everything about this wedding is so beautiful. I love the cake toppers. Does anyone know where they got those from? Beautiful couple and the photography is outstanding. Congrats!
