California Wedding Day Fall/Winter 2024

Carrie Muha and Terence Farina’s cross-country love story unfolded when Terence, working in New York, invited Carrie for an office tour during a trip from California. The pair’s instant connection continued to grow, leading to a long-distance relationship, shared trips and ultimately a heartfelt proposal in Portugal. Their sophisticated and timeless wedding began with a breathtaking outdoor ceremony set against the panoramic backdrop of Los Angeles. Surrounded by 90 loved ones, Carrie and Terence exchanged vows beneath a lush floral arch adorned in whites, nudes and pops of peach. The floral design—which featured a harmonious mix of hydrangeas, dahlias, ranunculus, peach-hued sweet peas and garden roses—brought a distinctive element to the rest of the design’s simplicity and elegance. Following the heartfelt “I dos,” the couple was whisked away for sunset portraits while guests reveled in a delectable cocktail hour, which featured savory canapés and three signature cocktails, reflecting the couple’s love of all things culinary. The reception commenced with Carrie and Terence’s grand entrance, followed by a choreographed first dance to Leon Bridges’ “Across the Room.” After heartfelt speeches were given and the cake was cut, Carrie slipped into her second dress and, with her guests, graced the dance floor, where a surprise roving saxophonist harmonized with the contemporary beats selected by the DJ. Nostalgic late-night bites and a dessert table brimming with the bride’s favorite treats ensured guests stayed energized. The dance floor remained lively until the DJ played an encore song, closing the night on an electric note.
