If I had to give this wedding a label, it would be “classic elegance and glamour – in time lapse.” Why? We planners at A Day Like No Other had just six weeks to plan the whole elegant affair… while the couple was managing a household move! Our last vendor contract was confirmed on the day before the event. It was intense, to say the least… BUT the result was beautiful, and bride and groom were super happy!
Allison had chosen an incredible lace wedding dress with a long train and matching veil…
… and a classic bouquet in stunning purple (all florals by Green Petal Designs).
Here are their rings:
Ready for one pre-ceremony photo (all photos: Danny Dong) – without seeing each other, though!
After a wedding ceremony in their church, serenaded by harpist Aysha Gomez-Kureishi …
… the couple left for photos in a vintage white Rolls Royce (from NLS).
Off they went to the Redwoods, with their harpist bringing her gilded harp along!
Isn’t that spectacular?!
All the while, multiple vendor teams were hard at work to get everything ready for Allison’s and Jeston’s reception at the historic Peninsula Golf and Country Club – the venue team, my two production managers, Nimy and Deanna, the florist crew, and our Jazz trio (Magnolia Jazz). The gold-decorated wedding cake (from Copenhagen Bakery) was delivered, and when the newlyweds arrived, Cocktail Hour was already underway, and everything had been set up for dinner…
… in the grand ballroom of the Clubhouse, beneath glamorous crystal chandeliers. The tables were adorned with lush floral centerpieces, part of them towering and part of them low and overflowing their silver compotes …
Everybody was having a great time (including the newlyweds!) .. .
… serenaded by the Magnolia Jazz Trio.
Allison and Jeston shared their First Dance as a married couple…
… and, following tradition, the bride tossed her bouquet to “all the single ladies.”
What else? Cake cutting, of course!
After that, it was only dancing, dancing, dancing… until the couple’s Grand Send-off!
Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, Allison and Jeston!
