Real Wedding: Lush and Vibrant at the Mountain Mermaid

By December 3, 2014No Comments

The Mountain Mermaid is a revitalized mansion off Topanga Canyon that is the defintion of “hidden gem.”  For this wedding, the charming and fun bride and groom wanted a festive vibe that didn’t take itself too seriously, but had a sense of sophistication when it came to style.  As their wedding consultant, I helped them bring the elements together, including their sweet idea for using the year stamped on pennies for table numbers, and providing custom made wood table numbers based on their inspiration photos.  After collaborating on their design board, it made sense to introduce them to Susan Tom-Nellis of Peony and Plum – she excels at an organic, flowing, vibrant aesthetic that tied right into the magical feeling of the Mermaid.
