Whimsical Wedding Design & Planning in Northern California
​Whimsical Weddings is my signature design and planning experience for couples who want a romantic, intentional wedding with depth and atmosphere. Rooted in vintage garden style and elevated with thoughtful details, this approach blends creative direction, curated decor, and seamless planning to bring your vision to life — without chaos or trend chasing.
Whimsical Weddings:
A Signature Design Experience
My name is Alexa Young
Each Whimsical Wedding unfolds through a thoughtful, guided process designed to keep the experience calm, creative, and intentional. After booking, I begin by understanding your priorities, venue constraints, and the overall feeling you want to create. From there, I interpret your vision and shape a clear design direction that serves as the foundation for every decision that follows.
Once the direction is set, I oversee how the details come together — from layout and décor to lighting, texture, and atmosphere — coordinating trusted creative partners as needed to execute the vision seamlessly. Throughout the process, my role is to translate ideas into clear plans, anticipate logistics, and ensure the design feels cohesive on the day itself, so you can be fully present while everything unfolds naturally and beautifully.

How Each Whimsical Wedding Comes to Life
Whimsical Vintage
Garden Romantic and abundant, this style blends soft florals, mismatched vessels, candlelight, and natural textures. It feels collected over time — never styled all at once — and is rooted in warmth, movement, and garden-inspired beauty.
Whimsical Fairytale
Dreamy and storybook in feeling, Fairytale Whimsical leans into magic, softness, and wonder. Layered lighting, gentle color palettes, and unexpected moments create an atmosphere that feels transported and emotionally immersive.
Whimsical Dark & Moody
Candle-forward and atmospheric, this style uses depth, contrast, and shadow to create drama without heaviness. Rich tones, glowing light, and intentional restraint make the experience feel intimate, bold, and unforgettable.
Whimsical Minimal
Intentional and understated, Whimsical Minimal focuses on negative space, refined details, and thoughtful restraint. Clean lines, soft textures, and carefully chosen elements allow the atmosphere to feel elevated, calm, and quietly romantic — where less truly creates more.
Whimsical Garden Party
Relaxed, joyful, and social, Garden Party Whimsical is light and effortless in feel. Airy florals, layered textures, and an easy flow are designed for connection, laughter, and ease.
Whimsical Timeless Romance
Inspired by historic venues and classic elegance, this style is refined, enduring, and deeply romantic. Soft neutrals, elevated details, and thoughtful composition create a look that feels graceful and never trend-driven.
Whimsical Artful
Design-forward and intentional, Artful Whimsical treats each element as part of a larger composition. Negative space, asymmetry, and curated placement create a wedding that feels expressive, restrained, and beautifully composed.​​
Whimsical Elevated Surroundings
This enhancement layer expands the design beyond tablescapes through statement elements such as chandeliers, curated lounge areas, and high-impact specialty rentals. Thoughtfully integrated into the environment, these pieces add depth, atmosphere, and visual drama while remaining cohesive with the overall wedding design. Elevated Surroundings are designed to complement the chosen Whimsical style — creating moments of beauty and discovery throughout the space.
Each Whimsical Wedding style is thoughtfully interpreted and brought to life through layered design, intentional details, and an overall sense of story. Rather than following trends or rigid formulas, each style is shaped by the venue, the season, and the couple’s vision — allowing the design to feel organic, expressive, and deeply personal.
