San Francisco Wedding Fair
Last week we had the pleasure participating in the annual San Francisco Wedding Fair. It was a fabulous event, with delicious food catered by the Four Seasons and a wonderful group of wedding vendors. Above, some of our favorite people: Stacy McCain of Stacy McCain Event Planning, Lisa Neighbors of Blonde Tulip Photography, and Stephanie Watanabe of Atelier Joya.
Good friend and fellow designer Stacy Pancake and her assistant Nicole debuted Stacy's beautiful new, minimalist and gorgeous letterpress wedding invitation collection.
The effervescent Mary Jo Bowling, Editor-in-Chief of the new San Francisco Bride's magazine was there celebrating their inaugural issue!
Floramor Studios create a series of over-the-top floral displays representing different decades in history (this one is from the 1900's). Love the ostrich feathers!
Event planner Kathy Goodman of Well Rehearsed created a sunny display featuring a yellow parasol and edible cupcake pops!
Showcasing their ultra-modern style was Hartmann Studios furniture rental.
Friend and collaborator Michele Papineau displayed had her impeccable handwriting on display!
And of course, we were there showcasing our wedding invitations, including new designs by Joel Dewberry and EIEIO (stay tuned for more details!). It was a fun day, and a great resource for Bay Area brides! See everyone again next year!
BAWN Event at Flood Mansion
We were thrilled to co-sponsor a cocktail party and networking event hosted by the Bay Area Wedding Network (BAWN) last week at the glorious Flood Mansion in San Francisco. This is one of the city's iconic wedding venues, perched on a hill top in elegant Pacific Heights, with sweeping views over the bay.
Co-sponsor McCall Associates designed this lovely table setting featuring orchids and bamboo, and a gorgeous citrus colored linens from Wildflower Linens.
Here's a detail of the decorative touches they added to the backs of the chairs - lovely!
Everyone had a grand time, including the effervescent Kathy Goodman of Well Rehearsed!
Gorgeous modern cake by True Confections.
Lovely chocolates by Coco Délice - their chocolates can be customized with a monogram or design and come in a range of adorable favor boxes!
Finally, Curtis & Johan of Perfect Circle Photography did a beautiful job documenting the event.
Well Rehearsed
Sometimes you meet someone and you can just tell they have equal doses of impeccable style and flawless organizational skills...not to mention a gracious, spot-on formula for creating a memorable, personal celebration...
That's how we felt when we met Kathy Goodman of Well Rehearsed, a San Francisco-based event-planning company that specializes in rehearsal dinners. So you should meet her, too!
Kathy specializes in designing rehearsal dinners. Brilliant idea, right?
Above, a charming Yosemite rehearsal dinner...
..and a fun football-inspired rehearsal dinner for two devoted fans (to USC, and, of course, to each other!).
Keep an eye out for Kathy's work featured in the inaugural issue of San Francisco Brides magazine, coming out in December.
PS. Kathy does all kinds of other parties as well, including bridal showers and baby showers!
