California Garden Wedding

California Garden Wedding

I have a small love affair with derby style hats. Unfortunately, I don’t have many opportunities to wear them, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to see the lovely wedding of Alan and Ani from photographer, Ian Villaceran. I just can’t resist a wedding with pretty pastels, garden hats, and afternoon tea…

Alan and I met on eharmony in November 2008. Alan was in San Diego and I was in San Francisco. We flew back and forth for more than a year getting to know one another’s city and hearts.  When Alan proposed in Butchart Gardens near Victoria, Canada, I knew our wedding also would be in a beautiful garden.
