Nick and Aleah of Valley & Co. along with Lavonne from Adorations Botanical Artistry put together this stunning tabletop for the spring issue of Exquisite Weddings. When describing their inspiration, they said “we wanted this table to evoke a sense of nostalgia with its classic retro feel. Elements like the hand-painted stationery and vintage champagne saucers speak to genteel days of the past, while the succulents and soothing subtle tones pay homage to the serenity of the desert.” See below for their signature cocktail recipe.
SET THE SCENE:
Table designers: Aleah and Nick Valley, Valley & Co., Florist: Adorations Botanical Artistry, Linens: Wildflower Linen, Paper elements: Momental Designs, Chairs: Kool Party Rentals, Photography: Terri Rippee. Shot on location at the Hotel Del Coronado.

Absolutely beautiful work by Valley & Co. as usual! I love the succulents, and the cocktail sounds great!
Gorgeous as always! I even love what’s on the menu. I will always love the way that Nick & Aleah embrace their love of the coast! I don’t blame them we live in the most beautiful city! This is gorgeous!
So in love with these colors. And, that menu – not only is it beautifully designed, but I really would love to have everything on it – sounds delish. Loving the succulents and that long centerpiece is beautiful.
A perfect color palette and no surprise the stationary came from Momental Designs – beautiful!
This is so so pretty…the colors are lush! Beautiful!
Love the texture of the linens.
