Olive Route, a letterpress studio in Berkeley, California, crafted all of the paper products for the wedding. From letterpress invitations to hand drawn maps of the grounds, each paper accessory complimented the style of the day to perfection. We heart Olive Route big time at SMP so we weren’t surprised in the slightest to see Olivia’s designs take center stage.

A good dessert buffet will get me every time…but one as cute as this one? Well. It has warmed my heart to no end. The couple served homemade inspired treats like lemon blueberry tarts, passion fruit tarts and mini berry pies. Caridwyn and Sons are the genius behind this perfect touch. They served locally grown, Napa inspired food including marin suns top sirloin grilled over oak with mashed chillie, marjorum, garlic & De Vero extra virgin olive oil with roasted fingerling potatoes. Ummm, yum?

During the reception, the groom surprised his bride with a seranade of his own version of “Love Me Tender,” accompanied by his sisters. Standing ovation, obviously.

    I am going to agree with April about the shots, these are perfect. I don't think I have seen so much vibrance portrayed in simple shots like these yet. Awesome!!! I do think though that the dessert buffet is quite lovely as well. Great idea and use of color. Definitely loving it. Thanks for sharing!

    The little girl wearing a lavender dress is simply adorable. I love her shoes too. This is a nice shot.

  8. I'm hungry! That dessert table looks scrumptious - so decorative. Appealing to the eye and the stomach. And what a lovely venue. The red flowers in tins scattered everywhere is such a simple but effective touch.
