Contemporary Wedding Design at Sacramento's Kimpton Sawyer Hotel- As Seen on Green Wedding Shoes!

June 11, 2018 Danielle Roe

With its opening coinciding with the heart of engagement season, the brand new Kimpton Sawyer Hotel in downtown Sacramento is a true breath of fresh modern air for Northern California and destination couples. Featuring sleek finishes mixed with wood and other natural elements, the space was the perfect fit for this contemporary, airy and heavily texture driven styled shoot. Designed and produced by Danielle Roe Events and Parker Nichols Events the day was captured by world renowned adventure photographer, Charleton Churchill. Delicate versions of masculine pieces such as leather accents in the paper suite created by Love Notes Paper, matte black flatware from Theoni Collection and washed stone dishware from Standard Party Rentals, effortlessly paired with the soft textures of velvet linens by La Tavola Fine Linens and the soft glow of candlesticks throughout the space. Set-off by a stunning hanging floral installation, Shannon Mahoney, from Thistle and Honey Floral Design, incorporated organic, foraged textures with delicate blooms to reinforce the juxtaposition between natural textures and clean, modern florals. The immensely talented Amanda Ngo, of Paper Heart Patisserie, brought modern dessert design to a new level with a three dimensional geometric neutral palate cake that, displayed against a natural cork wall, was a standalone piece of art.

PS- We are crazy thrilled to announce that this sleek contemporary wedding shoot is featured on Green Wedding Shoes today!!

Modern Details for Modern Love

April 18, 2018 Danielle Roe

It is really a dream come true for our Danielle Roe Events team to work with awesome vendors for any event, including a stunning photo shoot at an incredible hotel in downtown Sacramento. Remember when we shared this behind-the-scenes video from our Modern Love editorial feature with Real Weddings Magazine at the enviable Kimpton Sawyer Hotel? (And truth be told, we really do love to embrace this modern trend that is appearing everywhere!) Each of our #friendors vendors from this day truly pushed the envelope in terms of providing fresh and completely modern details and decor to match the modern ambiance of the Kimpton Sawyer. As we designed, styled and coordinated this shoot we established a color palette or whites, black, and marble with touches of gold. Accents such as geometric vases and gold candlesticks paired beautifully with touches of marble throughout the design. Our model absolutely rocked it with every dress and jewelry combination and truly represented as a strong, confident modern woman. You can view the whole feature from the Winter/Spring 2018 Real Weddings Magazine issue here. And be sure to keep an eye out for the geode decor included in this shoot and the marble frosted cakes!

2018 Wedding Trends: Modern Love at the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel in Sacramento

March 14, 2018 Danielle Roe

Happy dance, jump for joy, twirl and repeat. This day at the stunning new Sawyer Kimpton hotel in downtown Sacramento had us feeling over-the-moon that we got to design, coordinate and produce this first- ever staged shoot at this new venue, which is definitely what dreams are made of when it comes to venue magic. Working with the stunning architecture of the Kimpton Sawyer, including the 20-foot ceilings with glass window walls and the beautiful natural textures infused throughout the space, we brought in design details of marble, gold and geode shapes to stage the ultimate modern wedding. An incredible team of vendors (who we like to call our #friendors) came together to make this whole modern wedding vision come together. Take a look at the behind-the-scenes video now featured on Real Weddings Magazine!

Sonoma Wine Cave Wedding Dreams Come True: Karri + Ricardo

March 7, 2018 Danielle Roe

When your clients are totally fun-loving, in search of a perfect destination location and ask to infuse plenty of creative aspects into their wedding day, this Danielle Roe Events team is all full of the feels. With a reception set in the Gloria Ferrer Wine Caves, our team brought in rich jewel tone colors in the form of blue colored glassware and bold navy napkins, along with dramatic florals in hues of merlot, pink, peach, and green. Ivory linens draped over guest tables brought a touch of light to contrast with the rustic wooden wine barrels and highlight the whimsical papel picado floating above. We would like to give it up for literally the hottest wedding favors, in the form of Cholula Hot Sauce. As we never underestimate the power of music, the mariachi band- unexpectedly- created the sweetest moment for this joyful couple. There was plenty of flavor in this wedding, including yummy fresh made churros con chocolato for a late night snack, to be enjoyed and we can hardly contain our excitement because our sweet client's wedding was featured in the Sonoma Magazine! Be sure to catch the nod to Spanish tile on the paperie and the EDIBLE SPANISH TILES on THE CAKE!
