I’d been hoping these two would tie the knot for some time now. When they were ready to walk down the aisle, I got to help make their wedding day extra special (and be a guest at their wedding). We started early, working together to build a custom wedding invitation set that tied into their St. Helena vineyard wedding. The final set was so much fun to put together!
I got to have some fun creating the wine glass stains from scratch with watercolors and combining a bunch of different elements the bride and groom liked to create one unique wedding set. My favorite little piece, requested by the bride, is the heart etched into the wine barrel illustration on the back side of the invitation card. So creative!

Wedding decorations are always fun, because each couple has different ideas about what touches they want to include at their wedding. For this wedding, there were a bunch of signs to make and a very unique piece shown at the end. I also got to bring out some different skill sets to put all these elements together. Congratulations to the Grohs!
This was the most interesting piece to me – a quilt block. The couple decided to have guests sign a piece of fabric, later to be made into a keepsake quilt, rather than a traditional guest book. I was asked to paint a rose in their wedding colors that would be the centerpiece of the entire quilt, which I was definitely happy to do.

Such a fun day for Natalie and Matt! We first met up to discuss their wedding over a year before the date, so it was a fun to see all their planning and waiting come together for their big day. Family is a big part of their lives and this day was no different, as most of their bridal party and attendants were family members. This made the day sweeter, since they were sharing another big event as they tied two families together.
You’ve seen them before at their engagement session, now enjoy the big day!
The bride is a trained dancer, so the first dance as husband and wife was a beautifully choreographed treat for their guests.
Since she’s part Hawaiian, the bride surprised her groom (and guests) with a hula, danced with her aunts.
