A Mountain Top Vineyard, Butterflies and the Sweetest Couple-Shannon and Kerry, May 29, 2010

I have never met a client, who was so trusting and sweet as Shannon and Kerry, and of course Shannon’s mother, Janice Cozzo. From the moment, we met, I felt  joy in having the privilege  in assisting them with the planning details of their  special day. They were receptive and open to suggestions that would bring their vision to fruition and make  their wedding day special.

A Breathtaking View

Starting with a breathtaking venue, Paul Masson Mt. Winery, in Saratoga, CA provided the perfect location for Shannon and Kerry to  exchange vows  and celebrate  their joyous union with family and friends.

Although everyone was concerned  about the unusual wet weather in May,(and preparations were in place in the event of rain), Shannon and Kerry’s wedding day was picture perfect!

With the wedding day activities starting at 9:00 a.m. with the talented Mina Drake, hair and make-up artist, Shannon’s mother and sisters lovingly assisted her in dressing for her special day.

While the bride and groom were getting ready, the staff  at the historic Mt. Winery, readied the venue and set the tables with Chivari chairs, and  specialty linens from A Party Place, in San Jose. CA. Leila Simms, of Half Moon Flowers, made the the purple pin tuck linens  pop with her contemporary floral centerpieces of pink tulips, calla lilies,orchids  and soft pink hydrangeas. And to add to the final touch was the simple, yet elegant  three -tiered  cake provided by Studio Cake of Menlo Park, Ca.

With all in place according to the time line, Sound in Motion set the stage for the ceremony. As the bridal party  descended the stairs and began their walk down the aisle, photographers Emma and Alfred Salom, and Oren Ariele of Awesomeshots quietly slipped among the guests and captured the romantic and loving ceremony, not missing the kiss, the rose petaled arbor and monarch butterflies.

    As the florist for one of Janet’s wedding, I have to say I had the best experience with and event coordinator. Janet made the setting up a pleasure. All the staff, was working and prepping in concerto to Janet’s organization. She was there overlooking, hands-on, the whole operation. Calm and collected, she made everybody’s job a breeze. Would work with her anytime! Thanks for the opportunity…..

    Leila,

    Working with you was amazing! I loved the ease, confidence and positive attitude that you have. It made working with you such a joy. And the flowers- they popped with the purple and eggplant colors. You were on time and so efficient. Can’t wait to work with you on our next event!
