If you're dreaming of a flower-filled wedding on a perfect hazy fall day in September, today's real wedding is one for your wedding Pinterest board. Alison and Hanrui hosted the most beautiful celebration at the The Havens Country Club in San Diego, seamlessly blending their Chinese heritage with Western traditions.

California wedding photographer Carmen Santorelli Photography captured the couple as they enjoyed a traditional Chinese wedding tea ceremony with their parents, before sharing their vows in front of friends and family in a gorgeous garden ceremony. Together with their wedding party, Alison and Hanrui dined and danced under the stars, and ended the night with an exciting sparkler-lit grand exit.

We are totally obsessed with the floral design and tabletop styling by Sisti & Co, which blended textured seasonal blooms in warm sunset colors with beige taper candles in brass holders and velvet table linens. The miniature floral place holders are next level cute! The floral theme continued throughout the invitations and on-the-day stationery, and the simple white wedding cake was covered in delicate seasonal petals.

"Our goal was to bring a French garden to their guests," explains Kimberly from Sisti & Co. "Flowers spilled out everywhere onto the tables decked out in rose velvet linens, and the ceremony site had an altar built entirely from flowers. For any flower lovers out there, this wedding is a must-see."
