We kicked off Saturday morning with a tasting at Layers with the owner, Janelle, who I must say, makes some tasty cake and has a real eye for design. One of my groomsmen, Giacomo, joined us. We really liked the pumpkin cake, but what we'll have at the wedding is a secret...
Next, we split up and Giacomo and I went tux shopping, while Inna and her mother met with the seamstress to get her wedding dress fitted.
We then converged back at Inna's parent's house for a meeting with our caterer and discussed all the scrumtious items that will be served at the wedding. Again, not giving any details...but rest assured, you'll leave full, tastebuds atwitter.
Sunday morning, 8:00 a.m. - Malibu Jewish Center...meeting with landscapers to figure out how we're going to turn a 6,000 sq. ft. undeveloped plot of land into a beautiful ceremony site.Splurge brunch at Inn of the Seventh Ray right in the heart of Topanga Canyon. We're still waking up in the middle of the night drooling about the buffet. It was truly stunning (and sustainable and organic) and I highly recommend making it a priority if you're in LA. It's a favorite of Inna's, but was my first time. You literally eat in the woods, a creek running by you, deer roaming past...not to mention the amazing food. Go. Just go.
Back home, changed and flew to the next meeting...with the videographer, Sketch Images. Check out some of their highlight reels...we can't wait to have one of our own!
Next, our friend and wedding photographer, Matt Floreen got married to his love, Rachel. After a beautiful ceremony we joined them for an afternoon tea and cake reception. (Thanks for inviting us!!)
After that, pooped, but determined, we high-tailed it home, back up the 5 to San Francisco. Feed Dash, pj's, pillow, comforter...rest at last. Phew!
