Nature + Vintage Glam = Fabulous Wedding Planner’s Dream Wedding

This wedding is super close to my heart because it’s of a fellow wedding planner.  I always love featuring fellow planners because its great to share their creativity and inspiration, not just through a client’s wedding but their own wedding.

Chanda Eddens-Daniels & Stephanie Daniels Story!!

 

Stephanie and I met a few years before we started dating as a result of our business. One day I sent Stephanie an email that sparked a dinner and an eight year romance.

Being an event/wedding planner, I’m on wedding overload all the time. I see trends every day. My most important goal when planning our wedding was not to date it by using a lot of trendy elements. It was most important to reflect the two of us.

Our wedding venue, The Brazilian Room, nestled in the majestic Tilden Park in Berkeley, California created the perfect setting for our wedding celebration which featured themes that mixed nature with a little bit of vintage and glam. Our color scheme was Appletini green, chocolate brown and white. My ultimate goal was to use elements that represented both of our personalities. Stephanie loves the woods which we chose to reflect with the venue and our natural woodsy color scheme. I admire vintage and glam, which I got to reflect in our very elegant table/place settings.
