Katie and George had some ordeal with their original wedding venue in Altadena. But! George’s dad offered his backyard and it turned out to be a beautiful vintage wedding! Katie designed everything and had many DIY projects, such as CD favors, tissue paper pompom napkin rings, wine bottle candle holders, photo frame escort cards, etc. The ceremony was beautiful and tear-jerking. The Matron of Honor sang “That’s How Strong My Love Is” and I loOoooove that song! See a short video on our YouTube Channel. A family friend made all of the floral arrangements and decorations. When the night got dark, we lit the firepit and set up a s’more station for the guest to enjoy. The love of family and friends put this wedding together and we’re honored to be a part of it.
