Oh man, this wedding is a long time coming (to the blog)!  With the arrival of my daughter last year, I had a *fairly* (major understatement) busy 2012.  Love & Splendor continued working with lots of amazing clients and celebrations, planned and coordinated by our fabulous associates Michelle and Anna.  I continued to work as well, handling all of the wedding design and as much of the planning as time would allow.  Well, this wedding is special because it is the first one I did after having Olive.  In fact, Andrea and Jeremy met Anna (my sister) for their consultation the night Olive was born!  In the two short months we worked together, we pulled together the final details for a truly unforgettable day.  I love-love-LOVED their venue (Demetria Estate winery… you need to check it out!) and the casually elegant celebration they envisioned.  Although Anna was assigned lead coordinator on this wedding, I ended up at the wedding because I couldn’t wait to see it all come to fruition.  Plus I live less than an hour from the venue.  😉

The wedding was simply beautiful, filled with so much joy and laughter and dancing… oh the dancing!  As usual, “Entourage” via De Bois Entertainment kept the dancefloor packed.  New West Catering presented a beautiful meal utilizing gorgeous local and seasonal ingredients and hand-crafted cocktails from Pharmacie LA were a hit all night long. As the sun set over the vineyard, the carnival-style market lights overhead created the most magical reception scene.  I am so glad I was there to see it all with my own eyes.  🙂

A&J — we love you and are so glad we could be a part of your big day!  xoxo
