And now on to more photos from Heather & Larsen’s fantastic wedding. Be sure and read below Heather’s commentary on wedding planning and all the great vendors involved. Also be sure and check out Florabella Weddings, Isabella worked with Heather & Larsen to make their dream wedding come true!

Larsen and I took inspiration for our wedding from our love of San Francisco, our shared Italian heritage, and the mutual affinity for literature that marked our early courtship. We often joked that the theme of our wedding was “Italian Library”! From the custom bookmark seating cards to the local seasonal Italian menu to the vintage books we shipped from Strand Books in New York, we strove to cultivate an environment that was personal and meaningful. Of course, we also wanted it to be beautiful! We tend to gravitate toward clean, tailored things, so we opted for cabana striped linens, custom monogrammed cocktail napkins and a neutral color palette. Don’t even get me started about the flowers – Isabella Sikaffy is brilliant! She took our vision of soft, textured flowers in vintage silver vases and realized it in an even more spectacular vision than we could have hoped. Fun was also something we were quite focused on! During cocktail hour we served dark and stormy’s to reference the island of Bermuda, a special vacation spot of ours and one of our honeymoon destinations. Larsen really wanted lively rock music during our reception, so hiring Notorious was a no-brainer. They absolutely killed it –out dance floor was jam packed all night long! All in all, our wedding exceeded every expectation we could have had. We were thrilled just to be marrying each other, so to have such a personal, stylish and fun party to celebrate our union was just the icing on, well, the wedding cake!
