To create the overall vision and branding for the event, our CWD team worked closely with the creative Jasmin Michelle Designs, who artfully turned out the invitations, signage, dance floor design and more for the evening. Publisher Thea Hargrove and Editor-In-Chief Lara Burnap, both glammed up by Page Beauty, Love Laura Rocha announced the winners amongst an energetic audience, while new owner of California Wedding Day, Sonja Babich of Iron Diamond Media, exuded her excitement for California Wedding Day's future.
