It has taken longer than usual this year but it seems that the flowers are blooming, the sun has come out and the bright colors of summer weddings are finally arriving. Winter colors tend to be cooler and more reserved so it's exciting for us to see the color collection of spring and summer weddings coming our direction.

This wedding photographed by the wonderful Michelle Walker is a combination of Tiffany blue (every bride loves that little blue box) paired with the wonderful and crisp tones of kumquat and melon.

The Fairmont is San Francisco at it best. The truth is this particular location requires very minimal decor, as the venue itself is so incredible. I love how this couple has taken the warm peachy tones found in the marble columns and built a wonderful look around them. The crisp white linen brings the right amount of attention to the classical look of the chiavari chairs. The combination of the colors, textures and heights of the flowers is brilliant. There is a combination of tall arrangements and low profile arrangements which creates more interest in the room than having all of the arrangements be matchy matchy .

The hints of Tiffany blue infused through out this party evokes a subtle hint of whimsy. The groomsmen's ties, the favors on the tables, the flicker of the votives, and the bridesmaid's dresses - all in the same shade - make a great statement. Love it!
