Maximalist jewel toned wedding at San Francisco University Club

April 11, 2023

Alexandra + David are a design-minded, creative couple—David is a producer for Pixar and Alexandra has worked as a lead product designer for several notable Bay Area companies including Pinterest—whose talents really came through in their maximalist wedding. They embraced the full color spectrum with warm jewel tones and vibrant blooms, and Alexandra wowed guests with her incredible Oscar De La Renta wedding gown. Thanks to photographer Kate Thompson and Caitlin McDonald Events for sharing their San Francisco University Club with us today!

One of the most impressive design elements of the wedding was a floor-to-ceiling wall of red dahlias designed by  Duet Botanical to complement the moody historic architecture surrounding them.
