Alyssa and Johnny tied the knot at the stately Kohl Mansion in May of this year. In true mansion fashion, their wedding was a black-tie formal affair, but with a laid-back California spin on it.
Guests enjoyed an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour with acoustic musicians, a grand white oak bar, and florals that showcased the best of California's flora and fauna. Springtime cocktails like a Rhubarb Ginger Cooler and a vodka, celery, jalapeño juice cocktail (aptly call the Garden Party) were served alongside Dirty Martinis and Manhattans, all with custom cocktail napkins featuring their pup, Penny.
As native San Franciscans, Johnny and Alyssa wanted to incorporate some of their favorite spots in the city. In lieu of table numbers, Johnny and Alyssa chose some of their favorite places (Finnegan's Wake, Martuni's, Zuni Cafe, etc.) to be hand drawn on beautiful paper by Ji with JK Design. The tabletop was kept simple with beautiful linen stoneware, cotton earth-toned linens, and modern glassware. Marissa with Wild Fleur Co. accentuated our neutral tables with textured coastal grasses, black eyed anemones, sweet peas, and earl grey poppies.
After dinner (and a dress change) the couple cut into their stunning, two tiered cake by Pastry Atelier PQ inspired by the flavors of strawberry shortcake- vanilla white sponge, vanilla mascarpone cream, fresh and candied strawberries with yuzu, almond nut streusel (no boring flavors here!).
Alyssa and Johnny's wedding was truly a wedding to remember, with the most beautiful blend of earthy tones and textures to bring a little bit of California to this formal affair!
