Karen and Jeremy

I have not posted for awhile due to a family emergency, but I have had the opportunity to work several incredible weddings.

In May, I had the pleasure of coordinating Karen and Jeremy's wedding at Hotel Vitale in San Francisco.  They had a beautiful, eco-friendly urban wedding.  Their color palette was chocolate brown with pink and green accents.  They had a neat place card set-up.  They framed a pretty piece of paper in a large frame and used that as the base to hold the hand-embossed cards.  For their table numbers, they painted similar frames, used sticker letters to put on the numbers, and filled the frames with fun pictures from their engagement shoot.  All of the details came together to add a really personal touch.

The wedding began with a first look ceremony on a terrace overlooking the city.  Then, they met with their rabbi to sign the license and ketubah.  The wedding ceremony took place on the 5th floor terrace with a gorgeous urban view.  From the moment the solo cellist helped them down the aisle I knew I was in for something special.  They had a neat take on the 7 blessings often included in the ceremony.  They invited up seven people that were important to them to prepare a surprise speech on the specific blessing and how it relates to them.  One began, "In the words of the famous philosopher Charlie Brown. . . " The ceremony made me laugh and even cry.

Congratulations Karen and Jeremy!  Check out some pictures by their incredible photographers, from Blueberry Photography:
