Heather’s brother’s wedding toast was one of the most beautiful I have ever heard.  You can see it in its entirety in the touching video by P47 Productions at the bottom of this post. He started it with, “Today I want to tell you a story about a family, my family…”

That sums up my goal as a wedding planner, to help you tell the stories of two individuals – where you came from, what you value, how you met – and to help you create the very first day of your new family. And what a day it was!

Many of you may have seen weddings in Thorncreek’s tent before. But because Heather and Pasha’s wedding was so small and intimate, we were able to utilize the space inside the winery and covered patio instead, with its gorgeous old dark wood and ivy covered lights! It was so exciting to design for such a unique space. We ended up using the winery’s own mismatched wooden tables, opting to mix them with some lovely farm tables and antique china from Borrow to help the space retain its rustic-chic appeal. And true to Heather’s own style, we layered this with an element of glamour and elegance: gold tableware, an ivory tufted setee, and flickering mercury glass votives. Erin from The Budding Tree added the final touches with her gorgeous blooms.

The day was truly a joining of two families: from the special Buddhist ceremony for Heather’s family to honor her grandparents in the early afternoon to the Russian pancakes with caviar that kicked off dinner. We capped it all off with a wonderful paper lantern sendoff where guests wrote their well-wishes for the couple, sending them off into the night sky.
