Ahna & Alex planned their Sharon Heights Country Club Wedding from across the country on the East Coast where they currently reside with the help of Gina Affrunti of Affrunti Events, although Ahna is through and through a California girl. The day began as she got ready at her parent’s home among family and friends. One of the most remarkable pieces of the day was Ahna’s dress. It’s likely you’ve never seen anything like it since it was handmade by her grandmother for Ahna’s mother’s wedding and then altered for Ahna herself.
The ceremony was held at the Portola Valley Presbyterian Church — an architecturally exquisite church with floor to ceiling glass walls on either end, with the alter overlooking a redwood grove. Following the ceremony, Ahna’s parents surprised her with a horse-drawn carriage–a tribute to her love of horses growing up.
The wedding reception at the Sharon Heights Country Club was fitted out elegantly with the work of the florist: The Petal Company. After their entrance, Ahna and Alex began their first dance to a beautiful acapella performance by the Maid of Honor and transitioned into a wonderful tango performance. After the traditional toasts, the band Pop Fiction Love took the stage and ramped the energy up with contemporary covers. It would be an understatement to say that these guys loved to dance.
