40 Squared - Double 40th Birthday Bash

We love working with Sasha Souza Events because they always bring us the most faboulus parties to create custom invitations for. This time they were working with a husband and wife who were both celebrating their 40th birthdays and wanted to have a unique party in their backyard, including a private concert by Super Diamond - so they needed an invitation that let people know this was going to be a party not to be missed!

We designed custom labeled 40 oz beers that were hand delivered to the guest which also included "concert tickets" for all of the guests. The clients also wanted to keep the RSVP process simple so we created a custom reply website to track guest responses.

 We loved the reply format because it allowed folks to make comments and we were so proud to see what people had to say about our invitations:

"Best invite we've E-V-E-R seen! Can't wait to celebrate with you both."

"Wow, with an invite like this, we KNOW the party in going to be a blast!"

"We're in! and we'll bring our 40, chilled and ready to drink!"

Destination Wedding: Cavallo Point

Just a few months ago, Stacey & Company got a call from a bride-to-be in Houston, Texas. She told us she and her fiance had always loved San Francisco and wanted to have a destination wedding. Being as busy as they were, the love birds opted to let Stacey & Company take the reigns and plan the perfect wedding. From the venue, to the flowers to the creative take home favor/place markers, we did it all (and in just 8 weeks)! Take a look at some of the beautiful elements.

Cavollo Point, in Sausalito was chosen for it's beautiful vistas of San Francisco & the Golden Gate Bridge. The weather was absolutely perfect that day.

All paper materials were made from seed paper, so guests could take home programs & menus and plant them in their garden.

Our bride & groom wanted to make their mark at Cavallo Point by planting a tree. This way they can come back to the Bay Area and visit their tree & remember their special day. Small burlap bags containing soil for the tree planting ceremony were placed in a wood bucket. To protect ladies' shoes, guests were given "heel protectors" as they made their way down to the tree planting ceremony.

For the celebration we set the mood with candle light, gorgeous centerpieces of fuchsias and purples in wooden boxes that doubled as table markers, and metal trees with hanging candles worked the rustic yet elegant vibe. Since we wanted everyone to feel they were at dinner with the bride and groom, we set one large table the ran the length of the Verbena Room.

Congratulations Christine + Grant! Thank you for allowing Stacey & Company to plan your perfect day!

Pop Up Wedding in San Francisco | Nada + John

We were so excited to get the call from long-time friend of Stacey & Company, Nada, that she was engaged to her beau John. After a few consultations with them we could see they were struggling on what type of wedding to have, who to invite, how big the wedding should be, how much to spend, etc. So we let them settle into engaged life and didn't push them to make too many decisions right away.

Then a few months later when calling to check in with the happy couple they mentioned  they were thinking about having a Friday wedding. They asked if I thought people would be able to make it.  I said that Fridays can be hard for people to make it, but if you give them enough notice, those that want to be there will make it! Then Nada clarified that she meant THE COMING FRIDAY.

What? Well, her parents were going to be in town from England and thought that they were ready to be married, so "Let's Do It!" So we went straight over to their apartment and planned their wedding in about an hour. Then over the next five days we finessed all of the details for their beautiful wedding.

Lucky for Nada & John one of her best girlfriends is a wedding photographer and she was able to catch all of the details of the special day!

 Congrats to Nada & John! Cheers!

The little church on the hill

The lovely & picturesque Old St. Hilary church located in the hills above Tiburon was the  perfect place to say "I do."

Joe & Laura brought us in for some "day-of coordination +" a few months before their big day. They had the vision of a perfect day and just needed some last minute advice & execution. Stacey & Company was more than happy to oblige.

 

We also finally got to work with the ever-talented Christina Hernandez of Nightingale Photography.

We think she captured the very essence of this happily married couple. We think you'll agree.

After the ceremony, guests were shuttled by limousine to the Corinthian Yacht Club, located in the heart of downtown Tiburon. Guests were greeted with libations and delicious hand-passed hors d'oeuvres by the very friendly staff. The bride & groom were escorted by white Rolls Royce around the town to capture some beautiful photos.

We fell in love with the floral arrangements by Catherine Scott

Thank you Joe & Laura for having Stacey & Company part of your excellent team. We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Rainy Days and Weddings Never Get us Down

With the recent change in weather, it seems only appropriate to mention one of our favorite "rainy day" weddings. It's true that you can plan every detail for a perfect event, but sometimes Mother Nature has other plans - as was the case with this San Francisco Ferry Building wedding. Not even the gloomy weather could dampen the spirits of our lovely couple.  By the end of the evening the skies had cleared and the couple took advantage of the wet streets on the Embarcadero and view of the Bay Bridge for some truly stunning photos. We were so pleased to be a part of this gorgeous event and wish Patty & Peter a life of love and happiness!
