So aside from the insanely cute collection of bridesmaids dresses, the best part about today’s featured wedding is definitely the awesome reception space design. It’s kind of swanky, kind of laid back, totally and completely chic. Designed by Kelsey at Alison Events along with the floral and styling genius of Danielle at Brown Paper Design, this affair is purely perfect. And a huge thanks to Max Wanger for capturing the wedding flawlessly. As usual.
After the ceremony, guests moved to the fire pit lawn where they enjoyed a Lillet cocktail based on Lizzie and Matt’s favorite recipe and an assortment of tray passed hors d’oeuvres which included Sliced new potatoes w/ sourcream & caviar, tuna tartare w/ watermelon & smoked seasalt, rock lobster tacos, and cheese fritters w/ tomato marmalade. Light gray cocktail linens and vintage glass vases in different jewel tones filled with several varieties of white flowers adorned the cocktail tables. The bar was draped in a black and white ticking stripe linen. The escort card display was inspired by Lizzie and Matt’s love for fly fishing. Each dining table was named after a specific fly lure and the display as well as the table names were decorated with hand drawn illustrations of each lure by calligrapher and artist, Cynthia Warren.
The color palette for the whole evening was based off of two of Lizzie’s favorite colors, bright coral pink and a rich turquoise blue. From there we added different accent colors to make each space have it’s own look but still feel cohesive. The inspiration for the look and feel of some of the design elements came from Little Door, one of Lizzie and Matt’s favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. Lizzie has an incredible eye and had an opinion and vision for every aspect of the event. She was a lot of fun to collaborate with and was really inspiring to work with.
For dinner, guests were invited into the Palm Court which is a grassy area filled with palm trees. Custom drape installations by BAM Specialty Fabric Draping created a formal entryway to the space and made the open lawn feel more intimate. We hung chandeliers from the palm trees and brought in a 12′ long mirrored bar for a hint of glamour. The dining linens were a rich turquoise color and were accented by bright coral menu cards, mercury glass vessels, and tons of white hydrangea. Because she could not find the perfect coral pink paper to use for the menu cards, Cynthia Warren decided to paint the paper the exact pantone swatch we picked out. The result had a tactile handmade feel that went perfectly with the rest of the decor. Cynthia created individual cut outs on each menu card to form a window where she attached the calligraphed names of each guest in the place of seating cards. At each guests place setting was a bundle of sparklers tied off with gingham ribbon and a box of matches. The guests dined to the sounds of Ikebe Shakedown, a band flown in from New York.
Gorgeous wedding. The reception was beautifully designed..I especially like picture of the band between the glow of the palm tress and hanging chandeliers.
Beautiful Wedding!
Alright, where do I start?!! Love those green socks, and the lighting is FAB. U. LOUS. Anything shot by Max Wanger has "Guaranteed Top Notch" invisibly stamped all over it. And that curtain, don't get me started on that CURTAIN. Colored glass, chandeliers hanging from a phantom ceiling... I'm gonna stop. But don't think I have nothing more to say. Bravo to all involved and mazel tov to the happy couple. Regards.
Love these vendors, but when combined - Blockbuster wedding! Perfection! LOVE! Must now book a vaca at the Parker as the decor is is mod and amazing!
GORGEOUS! I had the pleasure of working with Danielle on a wedding a few years ago and she is very talented. Way to go Danielle!! I love the chandeliers and bridesmaids dresses.
Those chandeliers hanging above the band, floating among the palm trees...Pure MAGIC! This wedding is positively dripping in glamour.
I love the vintage feel of the photographs...feels like I am looking at old photos from the 50s.
Gorgeous colors...I love this wedding!
Love the outdoor setting of this wedding reception, especially at night when all the lights come up and the chandeliers shining brightly are a great accent adding to the festive mood of this memorable event. This is one great wedding I would love to go! Congratulations!!!
Love the idea of a band at a wedding but I love the concept of having the reception outside in the crisp, cool air especially at night!Great wedding!
just loving all the details from this wedding, especially the curtain treatment!
I love the color palette - just beautiful!
How do people pull off these outdoor weddings like this, with no tent or anything? Does it really just never ever rain in CA?? This wedding is amazing...it's outdoors, yet the decorations create a "space" and a mood nonetheless. The guests look like they're having a blast!!
I was at this wedding and it was nothing short of magical! The chandeliers, the placecards, the sparklers at every guest's seat accompanied by custom matchbooks - my goodness it was unreal. I was blown away!
Amazing photography that captured the simplicity and elegance of a beautiful day!
Love this wedding, the pictures are so beautiful and I love the change in lighting as the sun goes down.
Beautiful wedding, stunning photography too. Saw this on the Boho Weddings Blog, thanks for sharing, it looks like such an amazing day.
The bride looks beautiful in her wedding gown, love her hair as well.I love the photo with the couple holding hands together, very solemn and quite meaningful!
I think the wedding was wonderfully designed, down to the last detail. However, I'm not quite sure why the venue, with it's obvious contribution wasn't mentioned. Great Shots! Beautiful background!
