WEDDING IDEAS

Andrea‘s all white bouquet of ranunculus and peonies completed her classic, vintage-inspired look.

The groom added a pop of white and green with his ranunculus and hydrangea boutonniere.

The bride chose the DIY route and designed, stamped, and assembled the programs herself. She bound the green and white programs with ribbon and used a modern flower motif.

The couple wanted to avoid the hierarchy that comes along with table numbers and named each table for a flower used in the bouquets and centerpieces. The green, lavender, and pale yellow cards created a fresh vibe.

The elegant three-tiered cake was covered in white icing with a scroll design and topped with purple and green feather butterflies.

Andrea and Brock shared their first dance to Ben Harper‘s "Forever."

A close friend first introduced Andrea to Brock. Andrea's friend was an intern with Brock and they all attended the same summer party. Brock asked for Andrea's cell number, but she didn't carry a cell phone at the time. As Andrea drove away from the party, she thought "What if he was 'the one'?" So a few days later, she asked her friend for Brock's number and made the first call. Brock was about to do the very same thing but Andrea beat him to it. The pair went out to dinner and -- not wanting the date to end -- spent the rest of the time wandering around town talking.

The Date May 31

About four years later, Brock proposed in Andrea's hometown of San Diego. After a delayed flight ruined Brock's initial plans of a day packed with activities, he decided to improvise and proposed just as the sun set at Sunset Cliffs. A little over a year later, the couple exchanged vows in a historic mansion.
