A Bloom Filled Floral Fantasy at Villa Montalvo

Lisa & Hank's wedding at the stunning MONTALVO ART CENTER was nothing short of a fairytale. The historic villa, surrounded by lush gardens and majestic redwoods, provided the perfect backdrop for their special day. From the moment they began planning, we knew we wanted an event that was both elegant and deeply personal. With the expert guidance of Jane from SMITTEN KISS, every detail was meticulously curated to reflect their vision. Their seamless coordination ensured that the day flowed effortlessly, allowing this gorgeous couple to truly savor each moment which was stunningly captured by Indonesian wedding photographer DITTO DIANTO.

The floral arrangements, crafted by the incredibly talented VO FLORAL DESIGN, were a highlight of the day. Every bouquet and centerpiece was a work of art, featuring a romantic palette of soft blush, ivory, and greenery that perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the venue. The pièce de résistance was the ceremony arch, an ethereal masterpiece adorned with cascading blooms and lush foliage. "It framed our vows beautifully, creating a magical, intimate setting that felt like a scene from a dream".

"It was more than just an event; it was a celebration of love, art, and nature. The timeless charm of the venue, combined with the dedication of our planner and floral designer, made for an unforgettable experience. We are forever grateful to everyone who helped bring our vision to life and create a day that we will cherish forever."

A big thank you to Indonesian wedding photographer DITTO DIANTO for sharing this stunning wedding with us! Based in both Northern California and Bali, Indonesia, Ditto worked as a chef in different parts of the world before he found his passion for photography and now calls the San Francisco Bay Area home. He shares with us, "I am a hybrid photographer (digital & film). My photography is often described as romantic, bright, vibrant and natural that lends itself from my love of film look. My approach is a mix of photojournalism and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two tabbies, cooking, gardening or watching our local team on tv."
