A mid-century modern design infused with timeless elegance brings an innovate look to Malibu Rocky Oaks Vineyard’s Tuscan-style estate, overlooking the Santa Monica Mountains. Inspired to create a residential note for a wedding reception, Susan Dunne of Weddings by Susan Dunne played with modern jewel tones, such as sapphire and emerald, which she softened with the addition of sages and dusty blues, accented with pops of orange, gold and cognac leather. Florals by Isabelle created arrangements with an airy, romantic and timeless feel to bring a classic note to the design.
