A friend invited us to a floral sculpture exhibit at the Oakland Museum, and that’s how we met Karen, who had an installation there. I love her ikebana work, clean and modern, and how she’s able to fuse the sculptural quality of ikebana designs into her wedding designs. The background piece she did for our ceremony was simply amazing. The centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnières were beautiful and thoughtfully executed. We were very fortunate to have found her.

We had our rehearsal dinner at the Bay Wolf, one of our favorite restaurants. The staffs worked with us to personally create a menu for the party. The food and wine were superb, and the service deserves top rating.

There’s no shortage of selections at Classic’s warehouse. We rented table, chairs, linens, dining wares and glasses. Staffs were courteous and helpful in showing us options. It’s a great place to do one-stop shopping; it was much easier to coordinate the various table wares together.

We adore anything sweet from Satura Cakes, and our guests agreed and loved the individual cakes at the dessert buffet. We didn’t go for the traditional wedding cake and skipped the cake cutting ritual. Now I only wish that it would open a store in the East Bay.
