Happy 1 year anniversary Bill and Barbara!

In the heart of the Central Valley sits a historic Victorian Mansion which created the perfect backdrop for Barbara and Bill's beautiful fall wedding. Bridesmaids wore yellow tea length dresses and carried bouquets featuring deep, fall-appropriate hues. Staying consistent with the fall season, Instead of a guest book, family and friends were asked to sign paper leafs that were then attached to branches in a vase. During reception the newlyweds passed out wine stoppers, with a leaf top, as thank you gifts. The wine stopper was a great idea considering that the Whitmore Mansion has a wine cellar and every reception table was decorated with a couple of bottles. Wine was not the only thing atop the tables that afternoon, richly hued arrangements with lots of interesting texture made perfect centerpieces. Barbara and Bill's monogram was also used throughout the event. It was placed on the table number cards, toasting flutes, cake, and cake serving set. The cake also had a unique topper which depicted a bride with a fishing pole reeling in her groom. This memorable wedding was overflowing with eye-catching details and it truly captured the celebration of this couples love for each other.

Chris and Joann were married August 2010. They traveled to Newman, Ca. for their wedding, to be married in the same church as Joann's parents were married, 20 years earlier. After the ceremony, they visited the elementary school where they met, in the 3rd grade. They walked the halls together, talking about their activities at school. Then Chris pushed Joann on the swings. Joann says "I use to make him push me on the swings everyday". At their reception, their toasting flutes said "Today I Marry My Best Friend" and it was easy to tell that that was true.
