It came and went in whirl of fabric, guests, and wind! Ashley and Morgan were married on September 19, 2009, at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills. Britt Merrick, family friend and pastor of Reality Carpenteria, conducted the ceremony and over 850 guests were in attendance!
Ashley wanted moroccan-inspired decor with accents of peacock feathers. The result included over 875 yards of fabric, rich royal blues, teals, and purples, and peacock feathers everywhere. The happy couple wanted an intimate feel to their large wedding, so we sectioned off the reception location and created a smaller space with fabric walls.
The biggest challenge you can only do so much to prepare for: wind. The reception location was in the middle of the church courtyard, which also happens to be it's own wind tunnel. We had planned a few elements to guard against this enemy, but made plenty of creative, on-the-spot adjustments along the way. It made for a interesting set-up, but ended up still looking great!
Our friend Gabi Hess helped with the fabric set up! She is absolutely amazing and we hope to work with her in the future!
Here are a few pictures of the day:
