about the event
Surrounded by 100 of their closest family and friends, Ashley and Max said “I do” lakeside. It was stunning. Photos will never do this venue justice. The way the lake sparkles as the sun reflects against the water during the ceremony is magical.
Their design was inspired by the early fall season - fern green, burnt orange, and smoke - like the California cliffs at sunset where they call home. Since the beginning of planning, Ashley had a vision of long-stemmed white roses lining the aisle as she made her way to Max. The final effect on the wedding day was breathtaking.
Probably one of the favorite parts of the day for guests were the boat rides at sunset. Not only did the bride and groom get to enjoy a sunset cruise but guests were able to enjoy their own rides too.
For the tables, we paired ivory velvet linens with burnt orange florals along with some peach, blush, and green accents. For a modern twist, we incorporated smoke glassware and matte black flatware. It was so chic.

Desirée understood my vision and was extremely organized, which I LOVED. During the welcome party and on the wedding day, I got to fully relax and enjoy the moment with my family and friends while her team made sure everything was buttoned up, running smoothly and perfect. I am super sad that the wedding and planning is over and will miss Desirée's positive attitude and her “get sh*t done” energy.”
"We chose to work with Desirée because we loved her designs and her attention to detail!
