Olivia and David Schneider wanted to capture the magic of their engagement with their June 26 wedding. "David managed to surprise me by secretly getting my entire family together when we got engaged," Olivia says. "We had dinner plans at the Rail House in Glendale, and when the hostess opened the door, my entire family was there yelling, ‘Surprise!’ David got down on one knee and proposed. We celebrated with my family all night."

To re-create the romance of that evening, the Cooper Creek Event Center was draped in camel and ivory sashes, illuminated by the soft glow of square votive candles. Fluffy white peonies with their intoxicating fragrance wafted through the room of joyful family and friends.

"The overall look I was going for was elegant and classic," Olivia says. "Everything was just amazing."
