How about a little nod to France on this Bastille Day? For S + S, the proposal became the inspiration behind the big day (props to the groom on that one!).  Shiv proposed on a beautiful mountainside in the South of France, so a French-inspired wedding surrounded by lush gardens and midnight blues to channel that memorable evening seemed quite fitting. With friends + fam in the Bay Area, what better locale to choose than Beaulieu Garden in Napa Valley?

Sara’s engagement ring was handmade from a 1860s family diamond. The bands were handmade, too.

For the NY brides, on finding her stunning Jenny Packham “Azalea” gown: Having shopped elsewhere for wedding gowns myself, and having now accompanied many New York friends to other boutiques and designer showrooms to look for their wedding gowns, I can say that Mark Ingram is really the best place!
