It was a perfect San Francisco fall day — that “just right” temperature, clear skies and beautiful fall colors highlighted in the foliage. You honestly couldn’t have ordered a better day. And since Katie had a lot of family making the trek from the East Coast (including the pastor Katie grew up with who flew all the way out from Baltimore to officiate Katie & John’s wedding), that perfect weather felt just like a gift.

I love the warm, rich & vibrant color that Katie brought into the wedding decor, from the invitations to the beautiful bridesmaid’s dresses to the gorgeous floral design by John James. In fact, Katie & John’s wedding was a testament to great wedding vendors all around. Check out the list of wonderful resources at the end of this post.

Here are just a few favorites from the day. To see more images, view their slideshow.

Thank you so much Katie & John for being so in love & so much fun to work with, and for helping me end the season with a huge smile on my face!

A special thanks to Gustavo & Beth for helping out and lending their tremendous talent to the day! As promised, I’ve listed some of the other wonderful vendors who contributed to the elegance and fun of the day.
