I have to say, when you get a whole bunch of people with amazing creative skills a room to play with, what you get is nothing short of breathtaking. But when you do this at a wedding and event site as gorgeous as Casa Real is ALREADY, well, you get the idea. 
Rentals by Hartmann Studios, design and florals by Nicole Ha
Casa Amore is the name of Casa Real’s exclusive vendor showcase, and I’m incredibly honored to have been asked to participate again this year. I love this venue – the food, the staff, the light – it’s a true gem for those wanting a winery experience so close to home.
Each year, they ask their favorite vendors to come and share ideas with their brides and grooms. Lighting, cakes, invitations and escort cards, florals, and even a band and a harpist put days of work into this one special event. As soon as I get my hands on the Grand List, I’ll post them here along with links to their sites. (NOTE: Yay to Casa Real, who just sent me the master list – scroll all the way down.)
Lighting and Gobo design (the patterns) by Fantasy Sound (exclusive ceiling partner - what an honor!), florals by the Flower House, linens by Wildflower Linen, favors and printing by Unveiled Bridal. Also in the Amber Room: Get Your DO Up, who also styled the wandering models for J'aime Bridal, Thomas Hughes Films, Officiant Patrick Doohan, and harpist Krista Strader. Katrina Rozelle showcased some of her stunning cakes, too.
Wanted to share with you some images I took that night in between chats with brides and grooms (and their dads and moms who may have come to scope things out and get vendor referrals). I was running late and didn’t get to capture as much as I wanted, but at least this will give you an idea of what greeted everyone that night!
