See More of This Wedding in Portola Valley, California

Classic and elegant, white truly is the color of weddings. Whether it plays a major part in your palette or a supporting one, nothing says "bridal" more than white.

This bride's bouquet mixes classical elegance with a hint of contemporary. The different flowers (white gardenias, stephanotis, lily of the valley, polo roses, and peonies) are arranged in small groupings.
