The bride and groom were a perfect combination of Boho Chic and Old Hollywood Glamour. The London West Hollywood was the perfect backdrop for the marriage of this stylish bride and groom. The wedding was inspired partly from the London's gorgeous aesthetic and the bride's personal taste of neutral tones, lots of textures, gold and a bit of Marie Antoinette (See the amazing cake below!)
The couple live in the Hollywood Hills, so having that as a backdrop for the ceremony and cocktail hour was perfect. The ceremony was located on the London rooftop, and all the guests were able to see the sunset over Beverly Hills and the Westside. Guests were greeted with calligraphed programs, sparkling lemonades and mineral water. They entered through thick green hedges and walked into a stunning all white ceremony with flowers in whites and nude colors, using Sahara roses, white ranunculus, white roses and white hydrangea.
Flanking the aisle were two floral treatments sitting on top of white pedestals topped with floating candles. The couple walked down the aisle to "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young. The aisle consisted of a white runner lined with rose petals which led to a romantic and elegant chuppah made from soft silk chiffon in white. As the sun set, the ceremony took place and the candles lining the runner and back of the chuppah began to twinkle as the bride and groom said "I do."
After the couple officially became Mr. and Mrs., they went to the Hampton Courtyard on the third floor. The Hampton Courtyard is a traditional English Garden with green hedges and blossoming white rose bushes. Here a bit of a whimsical touch was used as we placed beautiful white and Sahara roses into Vintage perfume bottles. Guests drank champagne and cocktails under the stars while listening to music and seeing the light of the Hollywood Hills come alive. Guests posed on the the London's oversized Chess Board and dined on Gordan Ramsay's perfectly prepared hors d'oeuvres.
After an hour outside in the courtyard, guests moved into the Ballroom's foyer where dramatically centered was a exquisite floral candelabra that towered over the escort cards. The cards were hand calligraphed to match the wedding invitation and program. Guests entered into the ballroom which was breathtaking and so perfectly designed by Boutique Events!
The band's backdrop made from the same silk chiffon as the chuppa in an old Hollywood Glam feeling, to the stage covers of white molded wood with mirrored centers and the gray dance floor was the anchor in the room. The gorgeous cake with it's white backdrop and gold embellishments was positioned just to the right of the band so the guests could admire it all night long. It looked like a cake Marie Antoinette would have served at one of her fetes!
We had two different table scapes. All of the tables were topped in luxiourous silk dupioni linens in Ivory while all of the bars and stations were covered in a nude colored silk dupioni. Table Look One consisted of a large, but not too large, centerpiece made in a gold-fluted bowl filled with gorgeous flowers and votives and bud vases surrounding. The china used on this table featured a white backdrop and gold embellishments. Gold flatware was used and really elevated the dining experience. Each place setting was topped with a white hem-stich linen napkin and a HUGE white rose. The Table Look Two brought out the more bohemian spirit of the bride and consisted of differnt sized gold blocks topped with gold Morrocan vessels filled with a variety of flowers and votives. The china was a bit more clean, consisting of a single gold etching around the white china. All guests had champagne and wine flutes trimmed in gold etching.
Guests dined on fun stations in the foyer and enjoyed Risotto, Filet Mignon, Cedar-Planked Wild Salmon, Farmer's Market Salad and Vegetables. After a night of dancing, toasting, laughing and joy, we cut the cake and re-opened the foyer to a marvelous display of fresh fruit, cookies, chocolates and sweets.
