<p>From <a href="http://www.charmedeventsplanning.com/" target="_blank">Charmed Events Group, LLC</a> &#8230; <em>Milton and Annikke have the classic &#8220;love at first sight&#8221; story that we all dream about. It all started when Milton was craving a cup of milk tea on a hot summer day and walked into one of his favorite stores and when he went to place his order, he saw Annikke and was instantly attracted. From that day on, he went back everyday to buy a cup of milk tea until Annikke finally agreed to go on a date with him, and the rest is history! </em></p>
<p><em>Milton and Annikke really wanted to have a romantic and modern theme based on a Midsummer&#8217;s Night&#8217;s Dream. With their personal favorite colors of Navy Blue and lavender, we brought in light pink and metallic silvers and golds to accent their favorite colors to create a dreamy color palette that would shape their day. In addition to bringing in the romance of a Midsummer&#8217;s Night Dream, they really wanted to incorporate stars into the design so we began by bringing in some stars into their printed items and soon figured that stars would be a great physical accent to the actual details of their day. Wallpaper patterns were also a huge love of Annikke&#8217;s so we also brought in an immense amount of patterns into their printed and stationary items.</em></p>
<p><em>Milton and Annikke were married at the First Unitarian Church in downtown San Jose. Upon entry to the church, guests were greeted by custom wreaths adorned with butterflies that hung on the large church doors. Butterflies were a huge motif that Poppy&#8217;s Petalworks used to bring out the Midsummer&#8217;s Night Dream, and the butterflies sat perfectly on the wreaths and purple pomander balls that lined the aisle. Guests were invited to pick up programs as they entered and the programs that we created for them all had a cover of different patterned papers that would later be seen in the reception.</em></p>
<p><em>Their reception was held at the gorgeous San Jose Rotunda at City Hall. The entire venue sits inside a glass dome and certainly gave the guests a wow factor as they entered for cocktails and hors d&#8217;oeuvres. Guests were ushered up the romantic stairway, lined with silver star luminary bags, that led them to the Mezzanine floor overlooking the actual reception space. For the sign in, we wanted to do something different that has never been seen before so we decided to have their sign in become an art piece that they could take home after the wedding and display. We had stars cut in their color palette and invited guests to leave their name or a small note on the stars that were then placed on a metallic silver board to create an ombre design of a beautiful wave of stars. For the escort display, we also wanted to do something dreamy and whimsical and had created a custom &#8220;curtain of stars&#8221; in which each guest name was written on stars and gave a little more interaction for guests in finding their names. Each table was distinguished by different patterns of paper so the star curtain turned out to be a big hit with the different patterned stars. </em></p>
<p><em>When it came time for guests to formally enter into the reception area, a seating chart was created for guests to &#8220;spot their star&#8221; for easy directions in making way to their assigned tables. Each table had a silver star luminary bag with the assigned pattern paper at the base for guests to find their table. These luminary bags also added to the magic and &#8220;dreaminess&#8221; of the venue later on in the evening when the sun went down. Custom napkin wraps were created for each guest and romantic centerpieces of pomander balls and pink roses with crystals filled the tables to add to the dreamy atmosphere that we wanted to create for guests. The big statement of entering the reception space was the gorgeous dessert bar that we had sitting against a backdrop of hanging ribbons and crystals. Jens Cakes created a fabulous ombre display of miniature cupcakes in our color palette and we put together a candy bar that consisted of all chocolates in the color palette that we wanted for guests to have as favors. Custom treat bags were created with star ties to finish off the theme.</em></p>
<p><em>A wonderful evening was had by all as guests literally danced underneath the stars that were projected onto the dance floor. Congratulations to Milton and Annikke for having a star-studded, romantic and dreamy wedding inspired by a Midsummer&#8217;s Night&#8217;s Dream!</em></p>

<p>From the bride&#8230; <em>Woody and I first met about 10 years ago. I had been visiting friends in Chicago and met Woody in person for the first time during that trip. (We had known each for few years beforehand through mutual friends.) While in college, I was heading to England for my study abroad year, and then 9/11 happened. Everything in the US (and in the world) came to a halt, including my trip to England. My flight was delayed for about a week. During that week, Woody asked me out, and what ensued was a 10-year long-distance relationship.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Woody flew up to San Francisco from Los Angeles on a rainy Friday December evening to surprise me with the help of my sister and good friend. I was running late for my sister&#8217;s birthday dinner (as usual), and Woody called a couple of times, insisting to remain on the line with me while I was getting ready. He asked me to go outside to the mail room to pick up a birthday package for my sister and on my way there, I saw someone standing outside in the rain with their back towards me. Confused as to why a person would be standing in this type of downpour, I walked over to them and to my surprise, it was Woody, soaking wet after standing in the rain for about 30 minutes. From there, he walked me up and then down the steps, both of us stumbling because of our nerves, and asked me to marry him. </em></p>
<p><em>During the few moments before our grand entrance, we had the chance to look down at the reception from above while the guests cheered on the wedding party&#8217;s entrance. We were on the opposite side and hidden from our guests&#8217; view and stood on a balcony one floor up. This moment was the one time we had during the night to take everything in in a very touching and quiet setting. We will never forget the feeling it gave us.</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My obsession with this next couple is a little embarrassing. There are like a million pictures in the <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/6762" target="_blank">gallery</a> and I kept pulling the ones of the bride and groom. I couldn&#8217;t resist. They are obviously gorgeous. Obvi. But they also seem so madly, hopelessly, crazy in love that I can&#8217;t stop staring at them. Okay, a great pair of Fendis doesn&#8217;t hurt, nor does an impeccably Californian style and photographs by <a href="http://erinheartscourt.com/" target="_blank">Erin Hearts Court</a> that could literally make you cry. But at the core of this wedding, is a boy and a girl that have completely and totally stolen my heart. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/6762" target="_blank">Click here to see so much more</a>.</p>

<p>From the bride&#8230; <em>When we first got engaged, hitting the blogs and creating my “vision” was clearly my first task. I’m very detail oriented (or OCD, as my husband says) and soon created a Powerpoint presentation, a Pinterest page and started the “Wedding” bookmark tab on my Macbook. But since then, I’ve learned two things: (1) my vision must really be our vision, and (2) despite any planning you do, whatever happens on that momentous day will be an exact reflection of the two of you … and it will be perfect.  </em></p>
<p><em>Our goal was to create an experience that was distinctively Californian as 80% of our guests were flying in for the event. We’re both from the Midwest (Chicago and Detroit), but we met in LA and fell in love in there.  A stunning ocean view coupled with the backdrop of the Malibu hills and canyons served as a perfect Southern Californian setting. Our charming little venue captured our fondness for wine country with vineyards and an olive orchard in the backyard. The farmhouse cottage where the ceremony was held topped the Malibu hills and married our enchanted-garden-meets-vintage-ranch vision seamlessly.  Although it was a sweltering day that had us practically melting, by the time the ceremony started, a cool breeze wafted through the ceremony space and I knew everything would be perfect.</em></p>
<p><em>Since this was mainly was a DIY event, I relied heavily on my friend/planner/visionary to execute my plans. Another dear friend designed our save the dates and yet another, the flowers. My mom sewed our burlap runners and wrote the most amazing and funny speech. Our photographers were outstanding. Justin picked the caterer (a work friend whose food rivaled 5-star restaurants), created the all-important drink menu and stocked the bar with his favorites.  He also handpicked every song outside of the dance section, so the music we love and live our lives to filled the day. Our dear friends played acoustic guitar and cello and sang our favorite songs during the procession, which ended with Big Star’s “I’m in Love with a Girl.” We wrote our own vows and cried and beamed through every word. As I slipped his grandfather’s ring on his finger, I looked out to the crowd and saw four generations of our family, sitting together in the shade and knew I would never forget this moment. Overall, I think we achieved the rustic California garden feel with little effort and minimal day-of stress. Since we both have insanely busy work lives, many of the ideas we originally brought to the table were cut from the show — but it simply didn’t matter. We were so thankful to have both of our families together at our sun-filled venue and to share our love and happiness with them that we didn’t notice the little things that fell through the cracks. And to hear from our guests, that it was the most beautiful wedding they had been to, with the best food and music, still makes us smile. After six years together, we thought getting married wouldn’t really change our day-to-day life, but it absolutely has. Marriage is truly utter bliss.</em></p>

<p>From Bre of <a href="http://www.joyfulweddingsandevents.com" target="_blank">Joyful Weddings and Events</a>&#8230; <em>The modern, rustic, wine county wedding was truly a unique and personal event because of the numerous details and symbols dispersed throughout. From the beginning, the bride had a vision of using their love story in Bali as the main theme of the wedding. Hints of kites (reminding them of childhood) and bright pops of colors were found throughout the ceremony to the reception. Combining the palette of coral, soft turquoise and turmeric with the rustic, natural feel of the vineyard, the couple was able to relive their beginnings. Ryan and Kathryn’s wedding was truly one of beauty, serenity, and unity. This beautiful wedding took place at Still Water Vineyard which perfectly set the event, as it is private and nestled in the hills of Paso Robles. From the walk down the aisle into into the intimate ring of succulents to the long, family-style tables with perfectly-paired table tops by April Flowers and Forever Vintage Rentals, nothing could be improved! The day had such a lovely spirit. The vows and commitments made were spoken so clearly and directly, giving everyone a sense of lifelong friendship with the couple.</em></p>

<p>From Christina of <a href="http://www.christinadelyphotography.com" target="_blank">Christina Dely Photography</a>&#8230; <em>Marina and Dani&#8217;s Pasadena wedding was actually a destination wedding for this gorgeous pair, who reside in the state of Texas. We started off the day at the beautiful Bissell House Bed &amp; Breakfast. This cultural landmark was built in the 1800s and provided a stunning backdrop for Marina&#8217;s getting ready photos and the couple&#8217;s first look. The ceremony and reception were held at the elegant Castle Green. Once a lavish resort and also built in the 1800s, Castle Green provided a lush garden for the couple&#8217;s traditional Catholic ceremony. A pianist and violinist played while the wedding party strode down the aisle, which was adorned with lovely white rose petals. Pastel pinks, greens &amp; lavenders were incorporated through out the ceremony and reception.</em></p>

<p>From the bride&#8230; <em>Brian and I wanted to feel like us on our wedding day — carefree and laid back. Having our loved ones take part in our big day was a personal experience for us — our good family friend officiated the wedding, our best friends and family members made up our wedding party, Brian’s childhood friends played the ceremony music and shot the day on 8 mm film, and our readers are close friends as well. We wanted our day to be easy — no stress for our guests or us. This feeling was the same for our décor. We wanted to have an understated sophistication and elegance. Basically, we didn’t want to go over-the-top. We kept everything very simple — planning, décor, flowers, using in-house pastries versus purchasing an additional wedding cake, and we added fun touches that tied into our mod desert venue (palm fans for programs, printed canvas gift bags, vintage family photos and Jonathan Adler &#8220;Mr. &amp; Mrs. Muse&#8221; cake toppers). Finding The Parker as a venue was perfect for us because the décor is similar to our style: a fusion of classic, rustic, artistic and eclectic. When planning our big day, we focused on the decor and natural beauty of the gardens at the resort. Using what we had available allowed us to stay within a budget, but also helped to keep things simple like we wanted. With 90% of our guests flying in for the wedding, we wanted everyone to be taken care of. We wanted our guests to have an experience staying at a relaxing and beautiful hotel where the wedding would be steps away.</em></p>
<p><em>For the indoor reception, we wanted the ambiance to feel dark and warm, like at some of our favorite restaurants. We had a long table going down the middle of the room with our family and friends surrounding us, which made it feel intimate. The focus was on the experience and making sure our guests enjoyed themselves. The food was phenomenal; the music got everyone onto the dance floor; and our photographer, Shannen, captured countless candid moments. Finding the perfect venue and vendors truly made our day stress free.  We knew everything was taken care of and that our big day would go off without a hitch.  </em></p>
<p><em>I spent the day getting ready with my mom, soon-to-be mother-in-law and best friends in the world.  Although I was so happy to be with them, I couldn’t wait to see Brian. Once I was ready, I remember walking with Shannen to our first look location, having no idea where she was taking me. She held my dress as I babbled on about who knows what. As soon as I saw Brian, he took my breath away. After our first look it was time for the ceremony.  I’ll never forget the feeling I had walking down the aisle towards my husband to be … I couldn’t take my eyes off of him.  The joy in his face is a moment I’ll remember for the rest of the life.</em><em> We will always remember having everyone we love most in the world in the same place at the same time.   </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://michaelandannacosta.com/" target="_blank">Michael + Anna Costa</a> might need to enter the SMP Hall of Fame. The <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/?s=%22michael+%2B+anna+costa%22&amp;x=0&amp;y=0" target="_blank">weddings</a> that they send us are pinned, favorited and commented on like crazy with brides and grooms that are always madly in love, flowers that scream romance and a photographic style that is all together kind of delicious. So when we spotted this beauty, we knew we had to have it. Something about the pretty pinks all in a row and the jaw droppingly gorgeous Los Olivios backdrop had us at hello. Throw in the photographs that Michael + Anna snapped&#8230;and well, you have the definition of wedding perfection. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/6736" target="_blank">Click here to see even more</a>.</p>

<p>From the bride&#8230; <em>Brandon and I met five years ago through a setup by a mutual friend. I was living in San Francisco at the time but planning to re-locate to San Diego, where Brandon was currently living. We instantly hit it off and, because to the distance, we were able to develop a wonderful friendship over the phone for the first few months of dating. Upon moving to San Diego, our relationship grew even through two moves, including one to a new state for both of us: Arizona. When planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to have our wedding at a winery, not only because wineries offer such beautiful scenery and landscape, but because we both very much enjoy wine and wine tasting trips. With Brandon&#8217;s family and friends from Southern California and mine from Northern California, the Santa Ynez Valley and Firestone Winery offered us a central spot to host our big day. Firestone Winery has the most amazing vineyard mesa with an enormous oak tree that provided the perfect backdrop for a sunset wedding. The day couldn&#8217;t have been more perfect. While the early evening breezes did sweep my veil away a few times, it made for some wonderful photos and some laughs that eased wedding nerves!</em></p>
<p><em>While planning the wedding from Arizona did prove to be logistically challenging at times (flying into LA with a 1.5 hour rental car drive north to Santa Barbara), I was privileged to work with best-in-class vendors, including Michael and Anna Costa Photographers, Jessica Kuipers at Bijoux Events, Juniper Presence at Juniper Flowers, Matt Odom at Rock and Roll Hearts, Pure Joy Catering and Enjoy Cupcakes, among others. Their professionalism allowed us to truly enjoy the day stress-free. I can say without question that was the best day of my life — I married my best friend in the most beautiful setting.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Breathtaking Temecula Wedding&#8230; you are hands down one of the prettiest little gems I&#8217;ve ever laid eyes on. All it took was one brief look, one itty bitty little glance at all that pastel-infused gorgeousness and I was a total goner. The only bad thing about this wedding is trying to decide what to pin first. On my &#8220;to pin&#8221; list: the wildly romantic Monique Lhuilier dress, the row of perfectly unmatched bridesmaids, the ribbon table runners&#8230;actually EVERYTHING. And we have <a href="http://erinheartscourt.com/" target="_blank">Erin Hearts Court</a> to thank for supplying us with all this Friday beauty.

<p>From the bride&#8230; <em>Will and I decided to have an intimate Catholic ceremony for immediate family two days before our outdoor ceremony and reception. At first, I was a little anxious and overwhelmed at the idea of two weddings, but in the end the first ceremony was truly beautiful and took a lot of pressure off the big wedding day that I put so much time and energy into planning. Even though most of our guests didn&#8217;t know it, Will and I were already legally married at our big wedding, which made me feel a lot more relaxed!</em></p>
<p><em>As far as the planning process went, I knew I wanted our wedding to be soft, whimsical, light, and airy from the very beginning.  I had the idea of a beautiful, fantastical tea party set in the middle of a forest and with the help of our amazing planner, Ryan, and our friends and family, the idea grew and changed into something more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Our ceremony location had this breathtaking view of vineyards and mountains, so we really let the backdrop do the talking and kept the space natural and fairly clean for the ceremony and vows. We were able to have a lot of fun with our reception area, however, using the bell tower for our grand entrance and creating an intimate space for dinner, cocktails, and dancing with a long grand table, vintage furniture, floating fabric lanterns, and twinkling lights.</em></p>
<p><em>I was really into the little touches that made our day different. My sister Gina created our beautiful ribbon table runner for our head table. We had the idea of making vintage dance cards for our escort cards and included rustic mini pencils so our guests could fill them out throughout the evening. Our amazing graphic designer worked with us to craft some fun vintage Valentine-themed cards that sat at each place setting that either had &#8220;five things his family should know about her&#8221; or vice-versa. I really enjoyed collecting the mismatched vases, teapots, cups, and containers that we used for our floral arrangements, and one of my favorite touches was the collection of vintage thimbles I acquired over the year that we let our guests take home as kisses for the day (inspired by my favorite </em>Peter Pan<em> quote). </em><em>As we got closer and closer to the wedding, people kept reminding me that things would go wrong and I should be prepared. And I was completely prepared. But to be totally honest, I was just so thrilled the entire day and could not have been happier. I married my best friend and had the time of my life. The speeches, the dress, the weather, the man &#8230; to me, it was all perfect. Right out of a fairytale.  </em></p>
