Steven proposed to Lisa at the top of a waterfall, while hiking in Yosemite. Therefore, Lisa & Steven couldn’t imagine a better place to celebrate their marriage than to head back to Yosemite, surrounded by the some of the most incredible scenery available in Northern California! Lisa & Steven had a rustic chic wedding with saturated jewel tones and peppered with a fun Ikat print. The Ahwahnee Hotel was a perfect setting for their joyful affair.

Lisa worked closely with us to design her perfect wedding. We combined the rustic atmosphere of the Ahwahnee, Lisa’s love of interior design, and a jewel-toned color palate in an Ikat pattern. The use of the Ikat pattern in many of the details created a modern and cohesive thread bringing the vision together, through the custom menus and programs, to the fabric accents on the vases and escort card table runner. Lisa personalized each place setting by making hand sewn rosettes, painstakingly cut by her groom Steven.
Lisa was able to bring nature in with the commissioned walnut stationery escort cards and table numbers by Luxecut™. She intends to use the table numbers as birthday cake toppers for their future children. Such a great way to remember such a happy day and be eco-friendly! A calligrapher beautifully wrote guests names on the escort cards. The table numbers were laser-cut and incorporated into the mixed height center pieces. Fuchsia peonies, purples anemone, curly willow branches, and moss were crafted into modern center pieces. We loved being part of Steven and Lisa’s Wedding!
