Dana describes her elegant California wedding to Michael as sparkly, but nothing is as sparkly as the smiles on their faces! While I love all the gorgeous decor planned by La Fete Weddings, and the amazingly lush centerpieces of hydrangea, tulips, and orchids by Cody Floral, it's those smiles that really get me. I can't even look at the gorgeous photos from Stephanie Hogue without getting a huge grin on my own face.
