amy and tom's eclectic urban wedding

Dream team wedding!  Another one.  I swear to you, at weddings like this, when every vendor is top notch and bringing it, the air almost crackles while we're setting up.  Everything comes together so well and you can feel the energy of it all.  And even at the end of the night when we come back to strike, you can still feel the energy and happiness from the guests.  

Here's who made it happen:

Planning + Design: Carter & Cook Event Co. / Wedding Photography: Gabriel Ryan Photography/ Wedding Videography: Aqua Vivus / Floral Design: Honey and Poppies / Paper Goods: Paper & Thread Studio / Catering: Loteria Grill / Venue: Marvimon / Hair + Make-up: Symmetry Beauty by Nyrie / DJ: Red Shoe LA / Wedding Dress: Vera Wang / Desserts: Cake Monkey / Linen: La Tavola Linen / Rentals:Arcadia Party Rentals

And on to the photos.  These first few are by Gabriel Ryan, who is one of my favorites to work with.

Amy's bouquet, with dahlias, yves piaget garden roses, and ranunculus.  Amy wanted very little greenery and a more modern, clean look.  And color.  Lots and lots of color.

For the tables, we did some long wooden boxes and then tons of mixed metal and vintage pressed glass containers.  Carter and Cook also scored some vintage cobalt bottles for us.
