[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]best way to describe my vision for the wedding was whimsical garden fairytale – I was looking for a beautiful landscape that we could add fun, colorful florals to and Monte Bello Estate ended up being the perfect venue to bring this vision to life.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Since Andrew and I were both on call during Christmas, we decided on having a delayed Christmas celebration, and on that night, Andrew told me I could start by opening my first present, which was “on the tree.” When I looked, a new ornament in the shape of a little package addressed to me was on the tree, and when I opened it, there was a little message in a bottle saying “Sayeh will you marry me?” and when I turned around, he was down on one knee. It was so sweet and thoughtful, and one of the best nights of my life!
