How did you meet?
Went to the same high school and never knew each other. Then met because we started working at the same company.

Where was your ceremony held and why did you pick this site?
Maison Lafitte, we loved the beautiful house and grounds. The front steps were the perfect backdrop for our vows. Loved being able to get married in the front and walk to the gorgeous pavilion for the reception. Loved the layout and indoor/outdoor options for a LA December night

What unique or special things did you do at the reception?
Hot chocolate bar
Sparkler send off
Christmas tree

Pick one moment in the day that was your favorite thing?
First look

Did it really go by as quickly as everyone says?
Yes!

What was the inspiration behind picking the color palette and decor that you picked?
Loved the neutrals and greenery for a timeless look! Wanted a beautiful and whimsical bouquet to pull it all together and include some deeper colors

From the Bride - When you first saw the groom, what were you thinking/feeling?
I can’t wait to marry this man!

From the groom - When you first saw the bride, what were you thinking/feeling?
How beautiful she was

Who was your baker, what was the flavor of your cake? Was it delicious?!
Delicious! Cocoa Bean bakery - almond cake with a raspberry and cream cheese filling.

Did you do a first look? If so how did you feel about it? If not, do you wish you had?
Loved it! Loved it being private and having a genuine moment

Did you have a coordinator or did you plan everything yourself? If you didn't have a coordinator any advice for brides planning their own wedding?
Did it myself - work on booking your main vendors first and then start to look at the details. Do not get overwhelmed by the details in the beginning. They will fall into place!

What was your first dance song? Why this song?
Butterflies - Kacey Mustgraves

Band or DJ? Did they rock it?
Band, Voodoo Gumbo. Everyone loved them!
