HEIDI KRISTEN PALAU

Set in a private meadow, with nature all around, the waves crashing and deer in the distance, The Sea Ranch offered an ideal setting for this Wedding. The emphasis was on a natural and organic design concept using succulents, driftwood and yellow ranunculus. The day was gorgeous and the event was intimate.

An exquisite, simple and classic Wedding at The Highlands Inn, Carmel. The colors were soft whites with a hint of pale yellow and a touch of turquoise to bring in the ocean. The fireplaces were roaring and glass hurricane lamps with floating candles were used throughout, creating warmth and romance and a flow from room to room. The setting was rustic, yet classic and the views to the ocean were incredible. The wedding was absolutely beautiful, it was intimate and a favorite spot for the Bride and Groom.             

A playful and fun, modern twist to highlight a setting in San Francisco. Green was the chosen color with some organic elements and air plants to create an interesting palette of creations. The concrete containers added that soft grey to the color scheme, yet they were so smooth it added another texture to the whole concept. It was a great coming together of many elements for an overall modern organic look!

A Modern Organic setting at Metro in Lafayette. It was an intimate gathering in a tented outdoor setting. The trees were lit, candles set and the natural elements flowed along the tables in an organic way. A natural palette of colors were used with clusters of soft champagne roses, natural grapevine branches, and soft green pods. It was a sophisticated and exquisite setting for the evening.

An incredible Urban Organic Wedding at Greens in San Francisco. The Bride's favorite color was purple and with the orange skyline as the backdrop looking out to the Golden Gate Bride, the scene was drop dead gorgeous. Japanese Maple Trees were brought in to continue with the Zen feeling of Greens and candles in glass votives were hung from the trees. All of Greens was illuminated with glass hurricane lamps and floating candles and the water shimmered outside the window. It was stunning. 

A lovely Garden Party at a private residence in Lafayette. The colors were shades of blue's and whites with a hint of celery green. It was playful and fun. Garden style arrangements were created with a hint of modern designs too. Mason jars with votive candles were hung from the trees with blue satin ribbon and the trees were lit with white lights. The setting was during the day in the garden, but it went well into the evening. It was a beautiful garden setting that captured the simplicity of the day and evening.

A beautiful Garden Wedding at a private residence in Palo Alto. It was a glorious day, the bride was getting ready in the cottage in the garden where the ceremony was to take place and the reception was to follow.  White chiffon fabric was hung to accentuate the ceremony area, garden roses and hydrangea were used throughout and rose petals were scattered everywhere. The colors were white and soft shades of yellow with a touch of soft green. It was a lovely setting for a Garden Wedding. 

An abundant Harvest Wedding at the Archbishops Mansion in San Francisco. It was a fall wedding and the Bride loved orange and reds as her colors and she wanted a very full, Harvest Wedding. Thick garlands of Hops with clusters of grapes and roses were used throughout along with some simpler designs. It was a wonderful setting for this wedding.

An amazing Wedding at the San Jose Athletic Club. A Chuppah, lit with white lights and branches was created for a Jewish ceremony. It was then used for the reception for the Bride and Groom to dine under. Each table carried the theme with the white lights and branches. The overall setting was stunning.

An elegant and classic wedding at the Sheraton Palace in San Francisco. The colors were ivory and gold and the Bride wanted her wedding very rich with these colors. There were three different styles of centerpieces which created lots of drama and interest around the room. The ceremony was upstairs in the Sunset Court and the reception to follow was in the Gold Room. It was an incredible setting for this wedding.
