A super fun couple! We loved working with Diana + Ross while planning their Smog Shoppe wedding. It was super important to Diana and her mother to incorporate lots of traditional Russian elements into their wedding day since their heritage is Russian. Guests found their seats through traditional Russian stacking dolls (AWESOME) accompanied with hand lettered tags. Cooks County did a delicious Russian inspired, family style dinner, which included everything from caviar to vodka. And so much more fun was had… photos by Jenn Emerling.

We’re already looking forward to 2014! Here’s a sneak peek at Karl and Areta’s design in progress. Their January wedding will bring rich green and brown tones, brass and gold accents, and lots of little vintage touches to the Marvimon House. We can’t think of a better way to kick off the New Year!
