A rural California rock ‘n’ roll family wedding under the stars
Sarah and Michael married on June 21, 2017 in rural Covelo, CA. The couple chose to get married at Sarah’s family home, where they first met, and where Sarah gave birth to their daughter, Maddie. The ceremony began with the groomsmen and bridesmaids having a dance-off down the aisle, and, as Sarah began to walk down the aisle, one of Michael’s friends surprised him by taking the mic and singing “Kiss the Girl” from The Little Mermaid, which then led to the entire audience singing along.
Let’s take a peek at this rock ‘n’ roll family wedding under the stars…

We decided to double down on this wild venue and fill the wedding with all things rainbow, mixed textures, bright, shiny, and fun…
Huge flowers, stripes, & tea at this whimsical Alice in Wonderland wedding
We had an Alice in Wonderland-themed tea party with tea sandwiches, soup in small espresso cups, salad in large mugs, fruit, lemonade, tea, toadstool cupcakes, macarons, and candy! We had black and white striped table runners with teapot centerpieces filled with roses and daisies, surrounded by moss and grass decor (including moss bunnies!), and vintage clocks. There was a photo booth area with a boxwood backdrop, vintage furniture, gold frames, flamingo croquet mallets, and lots of props. Our food tables had "eat me" and "drink me" signs…
A chill & magical Hawaiian wedding with rainbows, surfboards, and leis
Elena and Andrei’s wedding was planned in only a of couple weeks. They were traveling to Maui with four of their best friends and going to become parents in a few months, so they figured why not get hitched while on vacation? And this magical Hawaiian wedding was created. The officiant serenaded them accompanied by a ukulele, Elena carried a bouquet of tropical blooms, and their ceremony spot was marked by flowers creating a heart shape in the sand.
