 Any diamond will carry a romantic message to a beloved bride, but only one will set her heart on fire. A diamond that is so perfectly cut that it has all the classic elements of a diamond’s beauty—brilliance, dispersion and scintillation. A diamond that sparkles like a red-hot fire. A Hearts On Fire diamond.

 The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco - is one of the largest museums in the Western world devoted exclusively to Asian art. An architectural gem featuring a dynamic blend of beaux arts and modern design elements, the museum building is the result of a dramatic transformation of San Francisco’s former main library by renowned architect Gae Aulenti (designer of Paris’ Musée d’Orsay) into a showcase for the museum’s acclaimed collection and exhibitions.
The bride and groom can choose to have three floors of galleries or special exhibitions available for their guests to enjoy during their wedding event. In addition, wedding coordinators can add varied and unusual Asian-themed entertainment options including taiko drumming, lion dancing, henna artists, and Chinese or Japanese calligraphy artists.

#31 FLORAL DECOR
No wedding is complete without flowers. Try updating the traditional
centerpiece by using masses of your favorite flowers in a variety of
complementary tones for added texture and interest. For instance, if
your bloom-of-choice is the gerbera daisy, try one centerpiece with
dozens of red gerberas, another with orange, and another with
fuchsia-colored bunches. Let your imagination run wild!

#16 COMFORTABLE RECEPTIONS
Reception spaces are taking on a comfort
theme nowadays. Rather than using cocktail tables alone, couples are
creating a lounge effect in their reception areas by adding cozy
furniture groupings of sofas and coffee tables, along with tenting and
draping, lamps and lanterns, lit up trees and dozens of candles. You
may want to hire a jazz quartet or flamenco trio to create a sultry
ambiance. Some couples are even hiring cigar rollers! You can also
use this set-up outdoors for a living room beneath the stars!

#21 LA FLEUR TABLE
Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not
just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer
of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them
through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware
and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly
onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!

The City Club of San Francisco
When Nicole Hirsty of Cobalt Events began thinking about the concept
for her Your Wedding Day Worldly Event Design, she first thought of the
words “decadent” and “luxurious.” ...
Gone are the days of the “shoulds” and “oughtas” of wedding
traditions. Brides are now more than ever expanding their horizons,
incorporating elements of their personalities and passions into their
wedding styles. As a result, not only decor experts, but photographers
and videographers have been challenged to go beyond the norm...
