August Wedding in San Jose

Here's an August wedding that I did in San Jose. The wedding theme was modern Asian, and colors were red and green. Before the wedding, I had the hardest time locating these dark red English Garden Roses! I had to search all over the US, but at the end my wonderful supplier was able to locate them and special order for me all the way from Miami! The bride showed me this picture: The bouquet that I made for her:

July Vow Renewal in Milpitas

Another reason why I love my job is that I get to meet new vendors and become friends with some of them. Blanca from A Touch of Elegance is one of the vendors that I met back in Dec. 07, we did an engagement party together. She provided the most amazing chair covers and she can fold sashes anyway you like and beautifully. We exchanged our business cards that day, and have kept in touch since. For her vow renewal party, she picked out chocolate brown, ivory and sage as her main color schemes. There's no better place like home to throw a party. She has a large backyard, and we had a lot of fun transforming it into an intimate space! Happy Marriage!

July 4th wedding in Saratoga!

The bride wanted bright and vibrant colors for her wedding, so we picked out bright orange, pink, green and touch of yellow as her color schemes. It was such a fun, colorful and unique garden wedding at hakone gardens in Saratoga! The highlight was that they hired a caterer that does BBQ, and watched the July 4th fireworks from the site!
The bride and I had become good friends, and we even plan to meet up for lunch sometimes! This is one of the reasons why I love my job, because I have the privilege to meet many wonderful people and have created some new friendships.

June wedding in San Jose

This is a wedding that I coordinated in June. The wedding was at the Fairmont hotel in San Jose and the color schemes were rich gold and blush pink. The bride is a children's clothing designer, and she really has shown her creativity and forward fashion sense in designing an elegant and elaborated wedding. The groom is a United States Air Force captain, and he and the groomsmen all appeared in their uniform! The bride looked absolutely gorgeous in her Carolina Herrera wedding gown, and we managed to change her look three times throughout the night! Other dresses were traditional Vietnamese "ao dai", I love the way they look and it’s so unique looking for her American guests. It was such a romantic wedding, and even better when the couple and their bridal party were so sweet and fun.
