FEATURED GOWN DESIGNED BY HAYLEY PAIGE

Founder’s Letter

When I got married almost 18 years ago, I had a dream wedding. Nothing went awry, every part of the day was perfect (and I am so thankful that my beloved father was able to walk me down the aisle, since he passed away a few years later). But with time comes wisdom and I now wonder, if I could plan my wedding all over again, would I do it differently at this phase in my life? I don’t regret a thing, but if I were to plan it today, this issue of C Weddings has all the information I would need to ensure a party for the ages.

One source of inspiration comes from real couples who get it right. We profile a handful of California lovebirds who make the planning process of their gorgeous weddings look easy. What I love most is seeing how they worked their personalities into their special day. From custom menus created to reflect their mutual love of food, to signature drinks, to offbeat locales that have a personal significance, they all give a unique voice to these celebrations.

And when it comes time for the big question (no, not if you say “yes” or “no” to the proposal) of what to wear, we have you covered, too. Our fashion portfolio of the season’s best dresses is the ultimate guide to matrimonial style.

After all, the choice of dress sets the tone of the whole affair (for example, a beach wedding would look odd with a bride in a poofy ball gown on the sand).

Choose wisely!

But before the dress comes the ring. I happened to luck out with a classic round diamond for my engagement ring, which I cherish daily. But, with so many jewelry choices now, would I venture into another look? Perhaps a modern Hoorsenbuhs band, an intricate Buccellati bauble or even a colored stone to seal the deal? They’re all amazing, and the style that you choose in the end should reflect you. I am a big fan of speaking up and telling your beloved what type of ring you prefer, as it will be you who wears it.

Think of this issue as your go-to for all things chic in the world of weddings.

Our editors have combed the Golden State to bring you the latest venues, vendors and creative ideas, along with cakes and registries galore.

I, for one, am inspired. And with my magical day as a cherished memory, I can already start dreaming of my own two daughters’ weddings—even though they are a few decades away. Wherever you are in your journey, enjoy the ride because, at the end of the day, we all love a happy ending.

“They wanted everything on the menu!” exclaims Wolfgang Puck of his son Cameron Lazaroff-Puck and new daughter-in-law Ekaterina Titova, who feted their nuptials at Hotel Bel-Air with a feast prepared by the chef and restaurateur (“Family Style,” p.74). In addition to owning restaurants around the country, Puck is the official chef for the annual post-Oscars Governor’s Ball.

Paige Appel and Kelly Harris “We relish in not having a set ‘look’ to our events,” say Paige Appel and Kelly Harris, co-owners and creative directors behind L.A.-based styling and event team Bash, Please. “Each one is truly a reflection of the couple’s tastes and our creative collaboration with them.”

After seven years of event planning, their sentiment still rings true, as seen in “Artistic License,” p.36, “House of Cards,” p.65, and “Southern Exposure,” p.90. C SPOTS • Ojai for hiking • Scopa Italian Roots in Venice for oysters and the cacio e pepe pasta • Scribe Winery in Sonoma for picnics

“It is always a treat when you get to work with diamonds,” reflects model Kasimira on posing amid L.A.’s enchanting Paramour estate in “Day Dream,” p.100. The Malibu-based beauty has traveled across Europe and the states shooting for brands including Calvin Klein, Citizens of Humanity and Samantha Wills. C SPOTS • Marin County—the scenery is out of this world • Hearst Castle in San Simeon—I love touring anything well-preserved and historic • Taverna Tony in Malibu

Samm Blake “It was amazing to work alongside such a talented group of wedding artists and to see everyone’s visions come together,” says N.Y.-based photographer Samm Blake of capturing the destination wedding in “Southern Exposure,” p.90, and the Beverly Hills bash in “Artistic License,” p.36.

“My husband and I planned our wedding in six weeks, so any chance I have to get back into that romantic head is welcome reminiscing,” says the freelance writer and editor-at-large of 7x7, Schuyler Bailey, who expounds on custom bridal designers in “California Couture,” p.46. “Celebrating such a talented pool of creators all based in-state was a fun discovery process.”

C SPOTS • Weekends at our home in Healdsburg for nature moments, hot tubbing, and a stop at Diavola Pizzeria and Salumeria • The Monterey Bay Aquarium for my son’s reaction to the spiral of sardines • Late, late-night G&Ts at Marianne’s in S.F.

Whitney Port gives Tim Rosenman her hand in an ECLECTIC Palm Springs affair

WHITNEY PORT’s custom high-low hemline ASHI STUDIO dress with illusion sleeves was a collaboration between the designer, stylist LARA BACKMENDER and the bride.

SPOTLIGHT Clockwise: The couple share their first kiss in front of a fan palm altar.

Emerald-green velvet chairs and a spunfiberglass table from POW WOW make up one of the 14 outdoor lounges. Whitney carried the only florals at the wedding: a bouquet of blushing bride protea.

Right: Husband and wife share a laugh in a double peacock chair at the reception. Below, from left: “I wanted to really let the dress shine and have the hair be simple and sleek,” Whitney says of pulling back her tresses for the ceremony.

al rehearsal party at a nearby bowling alley the previous night, Whitney walked down the aisle with her mom in a custom Ashi Studio dress. Above them, clouds miraculously formed “I  U”—Whitney saw it as a message from her father, who passed away nearly three years ago.

The reception that followed was just as magical: 14 outdoor living rooms evoked

the golden age of Palm Springs, featuring Rat Pack-inspired vignettes and plantheavy decor with succulents and ferns.

Through all the laughter and dancing that evening, the one image that stands out in Whitney’s mind is of her new husband: “I just picture the sweetest, biggest smile on his face the whole night—it’s amazing to see that much happiness on the face of the person you love the most.”

HANNAH COSTELLO

“Honestly, it was love at first sight, and we hardly even spoke to each other the whole night,” says Whitney Port of the fateful first meeting with now-husband Tim Rosenman at a mutual friend’s birthday in 2009. Shortly after, Tim, currently a development exec at Lionsgate, was offered a position as an associate producer on the MTV series The City, in which the former reality darling starred. The two talked about one day being together, but it wasn’t until after the Whitney Eve fashion designer moved back to her native L.A. that a romance ensued.

Two years later in 2013, Tim popped the question, twice: first at the couple’s home in Venice sans ring and a second formal proposal in Australia with an oval sparkler. And with that, Whitney enlisted her sister and BK Events founder Ashley Port to help create the ultimate fashion-forward fete. “The experience brought us even closer,” says Ashley.

In November, their wedding-day vision of midcentury glamour came to life at Colony 29, a private outdoor venue in Palm Springs. Following an untradition-

As design-savvy brides veer away from tightly packed arrangements toward more natural, pareddown styles, one flower in particular has captured their imaginations. The clematis, primarily of Chinese and Japanese origin, is a climbing plant and in warm climates it’s also an evergreen. Holly Vesecky of L.A.’s Hollyflora speaks highly of the delicate bloom: “It has the lilt and flow of a living garden in a bouquet. There really isn’t another flower that replicates its specific qualities.”

Kendall Elliott and Eric Ovitz were both new to San Francisco when they met at a kickball game. Eric, who’s pursuing a law degree, proposed in St. Barths two years later (Kendall works in HR for a tech company).

It was then up to the team at Bash, Please to help pull off the big day at Eric’s father’s (Creative Artists Agency co-founder Michael Ovitz) house in Beverly Hills.

The art-filled, contemporary space informed many of the design elements including the seven-tiered cake—a replica of the Sol LeWitt sculpture in front of the residence. There was also a good omen, Eric remembers: “It hadn’t rained on that day in over 150 years in L.A. It made the wedding even more beautiful.” •

Where did you grow up? I was raised in France until I was 5, when we moved to Southern California.

Arranging philosophy? Keep it wild and keep it elegant! Let the flowers do the work—I can’t stand it when they are shoved and contorted in ways that simply aren’t natural. And absolutely no floral foam. I try my best to keep my practice pure and conscientious of water waste. Favorite blooms for a spring wedding? Whatever is growing wild and is in season: salvias, flowering sage, jasmine and, if grown locally, ranunculus and anemones.

TI G ERSTOLILIES .COM

Where did you grow up? Laguna Niguel.

Arranging philosophy? I like to let the flowers tell me where they want to go.

It sounds new age and weird, but I think shapes, colors and textures really dictate the approach of the arrangement. When I feel like the arrangement is complete, I step away for a few moments and revisit the composition with new eyes.

Favorite blooms for a spring wedding?

I love all of the typical, spring crushes (sweet peas, tulips, peonies), but the ones I look forward to most are fritillaria, matilija poppies, Muscari and hyacinth.

YA S MINEF LO RA L D E SI G N .CO M

Where did you grow up? I’m a native Angeleno, but spent a lot of time in NorCal at my grandmother’s.

Arranging philosophy? I like to think flowers speak for themselves. They have their own personalities and characteristics. One that might look out of place in one arrangement could perfectly find its way into another.

My philosophy, I suppose, is that there really isn’t a formula—let the process find itself rather than forcing it. Favorite blooms for a spring wedding? Anemones, peonies, poppies, ranunculus and daffodils.

“There was a real void for a more relaxed, bohemian and ethereal aesthetic for flower girls and I wanted to fill it!” says August, who launches her inaugural flower-girl collection, Babes of the Nile, in January.

Named after her friends’ daughters, the seven styles consist of flowy chiffon and lace dresses, skirts and tops to mix and match for a “fresh, fun and stylish feel.” From $95.

“The word ‘bridal’ has a stale, stuffy, uncool stigma—it doesn’t need to be that way,” says Orla Stiles, whose new Venice boutique, Solstice Bride, has set out to remedy this connotation. A carefree sentiment permeates the space, which she sums up as “Santa Fe yurt meets midcentury Moroccan pillow den meets Venice bungalow.” Stiles selects inventory from around the globe, spanning billowy Jane Birkin-inspired gowns by Parisian designer Donatelle Godart, to strappy dresses

by Stone Fox Bride—the first West Coast retailer for the NYC-based cult favorite. The store’s customizable leather jackets (emblazoned with a Mrs. name) also fit with her philosophy: “A wedding-day look should be a natural extension of your everyday personal style.”

The bride’s HOORSENBUHS Regis ring.

Who ever said blind dates were pointless? Not Mariel Haenn (stylist to Ciara, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani) and Kether Parker of Santa Monica-based fine jewelers Hoorsenbuhs.

The recently married pair was set up by friends and got engaged on Shell Beach, St. Barths, during a scavenger hunt Kether had orchestrated in order to propose. As a stylist with access to the world’s top designers, there were high expectations for Mariel’s dress. She opted for an unexpected choice: a romantic lace gown by Australian designer Steven Khalil, discovered by her assistant. For Mariel’s wedding band, Kether looked in-house, choosing Hoorsenbuhs’ Antiquated Classic Tri-link ring in 18-karat gold with white diamonds, to sit with her custom Regis engagement ring. Together, the two rings symbolize their strength and love. If only all blind dates ended this way. 222 Main St., S.M., 888-692-2997.

SPRING WEDDINGS

Beauty Harper’s Bazaar Senior Accessories Editor Amanda Weiner first met business entrepreneur and L.A. native Jonathan Alagem at JFK airport when their Coachella-bound flight was delayed. For their wedding at The St. Regis Monarch Beach (stregismb .com) last fall, however, everything went according to plan. Here, her pre-wedding tips. MAKEUP I wanted to look natural. My makeup artist Liza Zaretsky (lizazaretsky.com) brought Boscia Sake Brightening Hydrogel Eye Masks, Orlane Tinted Moisturizing Cream, Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint in Ample Amber for my eyelids, individual eyelashes, NARS The Multiple in Maldives for bronzing and Bite Beauty Lipstick in Musk. I chose OPI nail polish in Bubble Bath. HAIR I always wear a center part and bun and my hairstylist Nancy Rodriguez (giuseppefrancosalon.com) made it into the most polished, elegant version. After the first dance, I let my hair down into voluminous waves.

PREP I drank a ton of water leading up to my wedding to hydrate my skin and started training with Erin West from Body Conceptions by Mahri (bodyconceptions.com). When we first arrived at the hotel, I scheduled a massage to de-stress and I also had a masseur come to our suite for foot massages while the bridal party was getting ready—it really started the day off right. • CAROLINE CAGNEY

Prep Work THE EXPERTS

Three of L.A.’s leading BEAUTY BOSSES reveal their SECRETS to getting photo-ready

ESTHETICIAN 6 MONTHS If your skin is breaking out or dull, we’ll take a blood test to identify both allergies and food sensitivities. After making those changes, the skin is clearer, radiant and you often lose weight in the process. My facials usually include an exfoliation with enzymes or light acids and cranial facial techniques (where muscles inside the mouth and jaw area are massaged to relieve tension and promote circulation). A home-care plan with our products is also important; I custom-blend most of them myself. Of the lines we carry, Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum is a standout. 1 WEEK I do an Intraceuticals oxygen facial with light therapy and micro current and a cranial facial. 1 DAY Depending on what your skin craves, we’ll give you Biologique Recherché Crème Masque Vernix or the Julisis Silver Remineralizing mask to apply the night before your wedding.

TERRILAWTON.COM

Jen Atkin

HAIRSTYLIST 3 MONTHS Start preparing your hair in advance of your big day. I suggest weekly conditioning with my Ouai Treatment Masque [her Ouai products launch in February] and complementing your regimen with the supplements in my line (each targets a specific hair type), so whether your hair is oily, dry, damaged or just takes forever to grow, you’ll get dramatic results. DAY-OF Updos always look best on hair that’s slightly textured.

If you’re working on day-old hair, mist Ouai Dry Shampoo on the scalp and midlengths for added grip. If hair is clean, mist Texturizing Hair Spray throughout.

Create a clean center or side part, then brush hair to the nape of the neck, using a hair elastic to tie. Run Ouai Hair Oil through the ends, then twist the length into a spiral bun or knot, and use French pins to secure. Finish with Ouai Soft Hair Spray for hold.

MAKEUP ARTIST 1 DAY Book an Oxygen facial (I’m partial to Shani Darden). DAY-OF Use Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Skin Brightening Exfoliator, then apply an oil-free moisturizer to create a base. For eyes, begin with a primer like Mac Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre, then work a bronzer like Tom Ford Bronzing Powder in Gold Dust into the crease.

Apply Mac Naked Lunch over the lid.

Curl lashes, line lash lines and add mascara. Blend Giorgio Armani Designer Lift foundation into the skin. Dab Chanel Correcteur Perfection concealer (blend 30 Beige Petale and 31 Beige Rose together).

Set with a loose powder. Contour with your bronzer, and dust Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop above the cheekbones. Top off with lipstick (like Mac Shy Girl) and spritz your face with Urban Decay All Nighter, which allows makeup to melt in and last longer.

On a mission to create a “non-disposable” lifestyle, Molly de Vries, owner of Mill Valley design shop Ambatalia, developed Furoshiki bedding, inspired by the Japanese tradition of cloth wrapping. In this unique setup, the fitted sheet is not made with shortlived elastic, but rather by tying a knot—cue wedding pun—in each corner of a flat sheet.

De Vries sources heritage textiles such as reclaimed Irish linen, sewing the cloth with long-lasting French seams, for bedding that doubles as a beautiful metaphor for a new married life—effortless, cozy and enduring.

Nestled in the Carpinteria foothills overlooking the Santa Barbara Polo Club, with unobstructed views of the ocean, Klentner Ranch is a timeless postcard of the American Riviera. The private ranch is surrounded by avocado orchards and boasts Old World charm with stone horse barns and winding staircases.

“Much of the ambiance and character of the ranch come from its function as a working polo horse ranch with stone barns and grassy corrals,” says Amanda Masters, who designed the home with her husband and co-owner, Justin Klentner, a polo player himself. Weddings are either tented on the private polo field or open air around the gardens or pool—all equally rustic and elegant.

Zach Pollack’s Silver Lake restaurant Alimento was just shy of a month old when the chef decided to pop the question to his longtime girlfriend, Alessandra Torre, on her 30th birthday while she was getting ready for bed. “I could have postponed the proposal until I had more time to plan, but I was so tired of calling Ali my girlfriend and wanted to seal the deal,” says Zach, who met his now-wife in seventh grade but didn’t start dating her until college.

The proposal may have been spontaneous, but the wedding day was planned out like one of Zach’s thoughtfully orchestrated menus. A celebratory feast ensued at Greengate Ranch & Vineyard in San Luis Obispo, helmed by chef Neal Fraser, who mentored Zach more than a decade ago at the now-shuttered Grace restaurant.

“I don’t often get asked to cook for chefs, especially ones who started out their careers with me,” says Fraser.

In addition to dishes the couple selected off Fraser’s menu at Redbird, the chef also prepared one of his signature whole roasted pigs. The meal was savored by fellow top toques and foodies in attendance, including Night + Market’s Kris Yenbamroong, best man Sang Yoon of Lukshon, and pastry chef Sherry Yard, who baked the couple’s spiced-carrot cake. “If Sherry Yard offers to make your wedding cake, you let her do whatever she wants,” says Ali. “Because it’s going to be beautiful, perfect and beyond delicious.” And it was. alimentola.com. •

Family STYLE Chef extraordinaire WOLFGANG PUCK creates an unforgettable feast for his firstborn SON

Santa Monica-based homage to AsianFrench fusion cuisine. After serving up some of Cameron’s favorite dishes including Shanghai lobster risotto and Mongolian lamb chops with mint-cilantro vinaigrette, the party moved to the chef’s home (which he shares with wife Gelila Puck and their two sons). Friends and family toasted the couple with drinks and, naturally, more food.

The culinary decadence spilled into the following day, when 170 guests assembled at the Hotel Bel-Air, home to Puck’s namesake restaurant, for an elegant outdoor wedding ceremony. “They had a tasting prior and they loved everything!” says Puck, who served a fourcourse meal featuring wagyu beef with chard, and slow-braised short rib with corn puree. Bel-Air pastry chef Jen Shen also lent her talent for the occasion with a tiered chocolate-and-vanilla wedding cake, punctuated with red roses.

During dinner, guests sipped on Wolfgang Puck Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Santa Ynez Valley, and the newlyweds raised a glass to their futures with an ’89 Château Lafite-Rothschild—a selection from the year they were born. The following day, Puck invited guests to cap off the weekend with one last meal: brunch at Michelin-starred Spago in Beverly Hills. “It was a joy,” says the proud father. wolfgangpuck.com •

On a surprise birthday weekend in Big Sur, Douglas Dillon Bryan (who goes by his middle name) asked Taylor Gardner to be his wife just as the sun was setting over Pfeiffer Beach. “When we got engaged, I immediately knew I wanted a destination wedding. I wanted the entire week to feel like adult summer camp, relaxed and fun, with the wedding being the climax of an amazing trip,” says Taylor, who grew up in L.A. “And Hanalei Bay in Kauai was really the only location I considered. I grew up going there every summer with my family. It is my favorite place on Earth.”

Dillon, an investor and financial consultant from New York, had never been to Hawaii, so Taylor took him last January to win him over and venue-scout.

“When we found the Kauikeolani Estate, we knew right away that it was the right place. It’s this incredible historical landmark,” says Taylor, who works for NBA player Blake Griffin and in interior design. Dillon and Taylor rented the house for a week, stayed there with friends and got married on the property.

The Santa Monica-based couple joined in many local activities such as hiking the Na Pali coast, helicopter tours, ATV tours, tennis and golf. They hired local chef Jessica Lindan to prepare meals throughout the week. “We had people at our house almost every night,” says Taylor.

For the wedding itself, they hired Deanna Schafer of “I Do” Weddings. “I worried about working with someone on Kauai, that she wouldn’t be able to execute my vision just through emails and phone calls. I really wanted the decor to be super simple and clean and not feel overly ‘weddingish,’ and she perfectly executed my vision.”

Dillon recalls his favorite moments: “my stunning soon-to-be wife walking down the field/aisle in a beautiful dress with no shoes on and when she got up with the band and sang me ‘I’ll Stand by You.’” •

When Scott Oster, a former professional skateboarder and deejay turned interior designer, attended a five-day personal growth workshop in the summer of 2013 at Big Sur retreat center Esalen, he left, in his words, “clear on what I wanted—to fall in love and start a family.” A mere month-and-a-half later, sparks flew between Scott and writer, activist and philanthropist Anna Getty, whom he had known socially for 25 years, during a serendipitous encounter at West Hollywood nightclub Giorgio’s. “We met when I was 18 and he was 21, but we went off and lived our lives: I got married and had two children; he got married; and we both separated and got divorces,” she says.

“When we kissed, I was like, I want to spend my life with this person.”

On a trip to Paris in 2014, after cycling to the Eiffel Tower, Scott proposed. The couple, who split their time between Los Feliz and Ojai, welcomed their son Roman earlier that year.

It was fitting that they return to Big Sur for their nuptials. “There was already this context of intention,” says Anna. The pair hosted a welcome concert featuring folksinger Gregory Alan Isakov at the Henry Miller Library. The following day, with her 11-year-old daughter, India, as maid of honor, and 6-year-old son, Dante, as ring bearer, Anna wed Scott at the Anderson Canyon Estate, overlooking the Pacific. Wearing a Grecian-style gown by Leila Hafzi, the

bride walked herself down the aisle. “I wanted to give myself away,” Anna says.

The day incorporated myriad thoughtful details, from a bespoke torch Scott designed for the ceremony, to earthy arrangements featuring indigenous ferns and foliage. For the reception, the bride changed into a ’70s-style halter dress by Juan Carlos Obando—the better for dancing to tunes curated by Scott, and Giorgio’s house deejay, Adam 12.

“We were the last ones there,” says Anna. “I love that we closed it down— all of a sudden, there we were, drinking Champagne in the corner.” •

Feature tbd

Wedding guests walk from the carriage house to the chapel on the BRUCKHEIMERS’ Kentucky farm.

When a Los Angeles native who lives and works in Venice Beach falls in love with an Irishman raised in Bedfordshire, England—whom she met in Paris—the pair is spoiled for matrimonial venue choices. But for Alexandra Balahoutis and David Hutchinson, the perfect place proved to be her parents Linda and Jerry Bruckheimer’s farm, Walnut Groves in Nelson County, Kentucky—smack in the middle of Bourbon Country, and the site of another noteworthy couple’s wedding: none other than Abraham Lincoln’s mother and father.

Alexandra, founder of botanical fragrance house Strange Invisible Perfumes, and David, a former marketing executive for L’Oréal Paris and now general manager for SIP, approached the three-day celebration as a true collaboration. “We wanted it to be chic and romantic and to reflect Kentucky and our personal taste,” says Alexandra. “It was like a branding project—a startup—and we conceived of it together from the beginning.”

The bride’s mother commissioned a stone chapel built in the style of a rural 1800-era structure for the evening ceremony. Wearing a custom J. Mendel gown, Alexandra arrived in a horse-driven, early-20th-century wicker, ash wood and hickory vis-a-vis carriage. After the “I do’s,” guests sipped cocktails in a twostory barn where L.A. bluegrass band The Americans (featuring Jake Faulkner, the son of Alexandra’s good friend Pamela Barish, who designed the bridesmaids’ dresses) performed; a fireworks display wowed guests en route to the reception tent, which was imbued with a scent of rose and sage created especially for the evening and adorned with blue velvet draping and early American paintings from the Bruckheimers’ collection. Having changed into a custom Carolina Herrera silk tulle dress, Alexandra serenaded her new husband with an a cappella version of “At Last.” She wasn’t the only surprise entertainer: Robin Thicke, who attended high school with the bride, performed “Lost Without You,” “Let’s Stay Together” and “Blurred Lines,” while DJ Parker & Barrow kept the party going until 6 a.m. the next morning—concluding yet another storied chapter in the grounds’ illustrious history. •

Feature tbd Teddy has “challenged me to follow my dreams, cried and laughed with me, taken care of and consoled me, but most importantly, [she’s] loved me,” said Blake Muller, as he recited his written vows before 210 guests in an open-air ceremony to his now-wife, Teddy Montesano, at her family’s Santa Barbara home.

Though both grew up in the coastal town, the couple’s paths first crossed at a Stanford University football game in Palo Alto when Blake’s mother and younger brother, an old friend of Teddy’s, decided to introduce the two. To their surprise and delight, the matchmaking ploy eventually led to seven inseparable years of dating, a perfect New York proposal and a spectacular fall wedding.

For Blake, an assistant coach for the men’s tennis team at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Teddy, a Pilates instructor, the wedding venue was predestined long before they met. “My sister and

I always said we’d get married in the same place my parents renewed their vows for their 10-year anniversary,” she says. And sure enough, on a warm October weekend, the bride stepped out onto that same garden aisle in a lace-embellished Monique Lhuillier gown, arm in arm with her father, Gene Montesano, restaurateur and founder of Lucky Brand Jeans.

White and green blooms by florist Mindy Rice festooned the ceremony and reception areas, where wedding planner Merryl Brown curated the bride’s elegant garden party vision.

An Italian-inspired alfresco dinner.

What’s a San Francisco girl to do when she’s spent years dreaming of a small Italian wedding, but realizes she wants to include a lengthy guest list of friends and family?

Francesca Fay re-created a Renaissanceinspired celebration set at the Burlingame Country Club in Northern California, formerly home to bank scion William H. Crocker, for her alfresco wedding to Charles Darling. The bride, a recruiter for MuleSoft, a San Francisco-based software integration company, grew up in S.F. frequenting the Hillsborough-based club, but met her Washington, D.C.-raised husband in 2012 while living in New York. After a first date at a West Village taqueria, the pair became inseparable and soon relocated to San Francisco, where Charles, president and COO of DQ China Holdings and CEO of West Avenue Group, proposed with Lola, the couple’s Jack Russell, in tow.

Once Francesca and Charles settled on a Hillsborough wedding, rather than jetting off to Italy, they devised an outdoor Tuscan celebration with unique local modifications.

“I’ve seen gardens changing with the drought, and since green is my favorite color and I’ve always loved the range of succulent hues, we decided to use them,” says Francesca. Guests dined on chicken piccata and mushroom

risotto—dishes that mimicked family recipes from Francesca’s Rome-born grandmother— below trellises woven with succulents and lemon tree and magnolia branches. Francesca selected a childhood favorite for dessert: carrot cake from San Mateo’s Draeger’s Market. Similarly, at the post-party resembling a Moroccan casbah, late-night revelers snacked on It’s-It mint-chip ice-cream sandwiches. “Growing up at the country club, it’s the dessert I’d eat while sitting by the pool,” says Francesca. Thus, a lush Italian wedding became a truly Californian affair. • VENUE Burlingame Country Club PLANNER Elizabeth Horton of Garden Gate Events FLORIST Garden Gate Events, La Follia ENTERTAINMENT Hip Service, Sacred Fire Dance, SF Booking Agency RENTALS Bright Event Rentals, Raj Tents DRESS Paola Quadretti FLORAL CROWNS Moon in Flora

Feature tbd Ike Chidi realized he found someone special when he introduced his crush, Parisa Jassim, whom he met during a law school internship, to his Stanford University buddies for the first time. “She fit in like a piece of the puzzle,” says the lawyer of the telling encounter. Five years later, Ike popped the question to fellow lawyer Parisa and the duo soon began to consider ways to integrate their cultures (Ike’s heritage is Nigerian and Sierra Leonean, while Parisa is Iranian) into their big-day plans.

For the Orange County-bred bride, The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel nearby was an ideal choice. And on a balmy summer afternoon in June, the two exchanged vows there against the backdrop of the Pacific and a symbolic spread of items— from a mirror to radiate light onto the couple, to evil-warding wild rue—called the sofreh aghd. The traditionally festive Iranian ceremony included lively strikes of a hand drum and violin as well as family cheers. “Our friends were taken aback, like, ‘Why is no one being quiet?’ ” recalls Parisa with a laugh.

After the magical, open-air “I do’s,” the affair continued indoors, where the couple shared their first dance to Hozier’s “Work Song” (“We danced to it in his living room 100 times,” Parisa reveals of the romantic choice). Ike’s female family members donned African ankaras and head wraps, while his father dressed in a Nigerian agbada for the rehearsal; the weekend seamlessly blended their backgrounds from start to finish.

Up next: a honeymoon in South America. But until then, the couple’s thrills come from living with one another for the first time.

Kelsey McKinnon and Josh Donfeld first laid eyes on each other at a group dinner at Little Next Door in West Hollywood. Fast-forward five years to another memorable evening when Josh, a hedge fund manager, proposed at their home with a classic cushion-cut solitaire.

The structure of their multiday event the following fall quickly unfolded: There would be a cocktail party at their home on Thursday night, a seated dinner at Spago in Beverly Hills on Friday, the wedding at the Sunset Tower Hotel on Saturday and a brunch at their home on Sunday—and all 130 guests would be invited to each event. “We entertain at home all the time and loved the idea of having everyone come over. Plus, the Sunset Tower is a two-minute walk from our house,” says Kelsey, who is a senior editor at C Magazine. “In fact, I think the only time I got in a car the whole weekend was to go to Spago.”

The soft pink-and-gold interiors of the iconic Regency-style hotel helped inform the black-tie dress code, but the atmosphere was anything but uptight, from the couple’s first dance to Bob Marley’s “Stir It Up” to the cadre of young cousins in the wedding party. Kelsey wore a simple, unembellished sheath gown from Amsale and diamond earrings that were a gift from her parents.

insisted on small, round dining tables, each topped with a glass candelabra and a low wreath of amaryllis, garden roses, tuberose and dahlias. “It felt very European; we didn’t sit down to dinner until about 9:30,” she says. For hours, guests drifted between the dance floor inside to a lounge area by the pool on the warm September evening.

The couple had booked a suite at the hotel, but at the end of the night they decided they’d rather walk home—Kelsey in her wedding dress and Josh in his tux.

ing major, at a coffee shop (the duo later reconnected online). Nine years later, after moving to L.A. and bouncing the idea of marriage back and forth, the couple decided to tie the knot during dinner at Santa Monica’s Rustic Canyon one night, and broke the good news to their families the next day. “Then, in very modern fashion, we put it on Facebook and it became instantly real.”

The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County was an easy choice for the Atwater Village-based couple, considering Craig’s love of animals, and a brief stint working at a science museum in Seattle. “I love dioramas, especially old-timey ones with hippos,” says Craig, a filmmaker.

Suited up in Ted Baker, with their brothers as groomsmen by their sides, the couple exchanged vows in the Rotunda room before 150 friends and family members. Adam, who is a food blogger, a cookbook author and a writer on the ABC comedy The Real O’Neals, took the lead on finding the caterer and landed on Highland Park’s Heirloom LA, which turned out a family-style dinner in the African Mammal Hall. The couple enjoyed a four-day mini-moon in Palm Springs (Craig had to depart within the week to direct his next feature, Wilson, starring Woody Harrelson). And the rest, as they say, is history. •

Fran, an actor, proposed to Spencer, a yoga instructor and student of Ayurvedic medicine, with a 100-year-old Tiffany sapphire ring. “While we grew up in L.A. and live in Venice we wanted to be married somewhere outside the city, so Santa Barbara was the obvious choice,” says Spencer.

After the ceremony at All Saints-bythe-Sea in Montecito, the party made their way to The Valley Club of Montecito for the reception. “The rolling golf course and scattered trees made for beautiful pastoral setting, while the tent served as a cozy sanctuary for the party,” says Spencer, who worked with Yifat Oren & Associates on the

design. Inside, long tables were topped with arrangements that felt handpicked from a garden, while a family-style dinner of fried chicken and handmade pasta was served before the colorful, funfetti wedding cake.

Their choreographed first dance—a three-song medley starting with The Pointer Sisters’ “I’m So Excited,” then Stevie Wonder’s “Do I Do,” and finishing with Sam Cooke’s “Bring It On Home to Me”— was something straight out of Dirty Dancing. “It might have been the highlight of the wedding,” says the bride. “It was the happiest we have ever been.” • VENUE The Valley Club of Montecito PLANNER Carolyn Hedge for Yifat Oren & Associates FLORIST The Velvet Garden CATERING Maili Halme CAKE The Solvang Bakery ENTERTAINMENT Project M for Élan Artists RENTALS Classic Party Rentals, Casa de Perrin, Archive Rentals VIDEOGRAPHY Hart Pictures DRESS Mira Zwillinger STATIONERY Copper Willow Paper Studio SPRING WEDDINGS

SPRING WEDDINGS

California

Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay, 1958 Hollywood bombshell Jayne Mansfield, 24, and Mr. Universe Mickey Hargitay, 32, sealed their marriage with a kiss after an intimate ceremony at the seaside glass Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes. The couple, who met in 1956 while Hargitay was performing on The Mae West Show, documented their chemistry in films like The Love of Hercules, Promises! Promises! and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? If that wasn’t enough, the Hungarian bodybuilder famously declared his love for the screen siren with a heart-shaped swimming pool at their “Pink Palace” Spanish Colonial home in Los Angeles, with the words “I Love You Jaynie” inscribed in gold tiles.
