The season ended on a high note with Arum and Elliot’s wedding. Arum and I have been chatting off and on for the past 2 1/2 years about her wedding, and it finally arrived!
We started in Walnut Creek with all of the ladies in the wedding getting their makeup and hair done by Taylor Pham’s fabulous team. It was such a relaxed morning, one more of facials and massages than prepping for a wedding!
We headed over the hill to Dunsmuir Estate in Oakland where the ceremony and reception were to take place. Wow, Arum takes the cake for Martha Stewart of this season. We have 2-3 spreads dedicated in her album already to all of the thoughtful gifts she hand created for her guests. She made her own candy station, rose petal holders, programs, special center pieces…. well the list can go on and on! One of the most unique forms of entertainment she had was two flat screens with Nintendo Wiis for the younger guests.
The night ended with an after party in San Francisco. Of course no photos from that, but you can view the wedding slide show here.
And the best cake I have EVER tasted came from Masse’s Pastries in Berkeley. No sugary frosting here!! Heaven!
