Lauren + Walker | Private Estate

May 6, 2020

While there are many advantages to choosing a traditional venue for a wedding, there are so many reasons to love all that a private estate or family home has to offer as well. Intimacy, comfort, and not to mention the special memories. We loved working with Lauren and Walker on their private estate wedding last summer that brought family and friends together in a meaningful space to celebrate their love.

From the beginning Lauren had envisioned an outdoor celebration filled with beautiful florals and romantic textures throughout the design. Luckily, the private estate property that they hosted their wedding on had all of the beautifully landscaped features that would allow this vision to come to life, beginning with the ceremony on the lawn. Guests were seated in walnut folding chairs on either side of a cement walkway leading to the ceremony altar. Vanda Floral Designs created two breathtaking floral columns which would serve as the backdrop for Lauren and Walker’s vows. Loose greenery and shades of blush, mauve, and orange blooms filled the floral columns which also echoed the colorful bouquet that Lauren carried.

Cocktails and bite sized eats by Bay Laurel Culinary were held poolside while the reception would be held on the lush green lawn. The long family-style tables were placed beneath the shade of mature trees and bistro lights that were strung overhead for ambiance. Colorful floral centerpieces and blush linen napkins popped against the crisp white table linens and white distressed bistro chairs.

Our newlyweds received a warm welcome and cheers from their guests as they made their grand entrance from across the lawn! Meaningful toasts were shared in honor of Lauren and Walker and the rest of the reception was spent enjoying fine food and wine, and great company in the comfort of the beautiful private estate property.

Cheer to our newlyweds and thank you to our incredible vendor team for helping us bring together this truly magical summer day!

Christy + Alex | Annadel Estate Winery

October 30, 2019

Christy and Alex grew up playing together as children and it wasn't until after college years that they decided they couldn't live without each other. With this in mind, we could not wait to plan their beautiful wedding day that would solidify their fairytale love story and also begin their new journey together as husband and wife!

Christy and Alex’s inspiration boards were filled with elements such as soft draping, pale blush accents, and beautiful leafy greens. Annadel Estate Winery proved to be the perfect wine country venue for their wedding with its historic ruins and bountiful foliage that we would would help create the ambiance they desired.

Rather than a traditional ceremony arch, Christy and Alex exchanged vows beneath a beautiful tree with a floral installation cascading down the trunk. The vibrant greenery and pale blush florals flowing down the tree was such a unique backdrop for the ceremony, which was sweet and romantic in every way.

Wanting to find a way to incorporate the couple’s beloved golden retriever in their day, the escort card table featured a beautiful dog topiary instructing guests to “fetch” their seats! A miniature figurine of a golden rested on each place card and gave guests something sweet and memorable to take home with them.

An intimate reception awaited the newlyweds and their guests in the courtyard of the Annadel ruins which provided a lush enclosed setting for the celebration. The walls of the ruins are covered in greens and create the feeling of a secret garden within the expansive property. With some romantic draping added to the two entrances of the courtyard and lighting strung overhead, the ambiance was undeniably magical! Loose textured floral centerpieces by Julie Stevens Design were paired with settings of white china and gold flatware with black handles.

Following dinner and toasts, the celebration continued at Annadel’s beautifully preserved barn where the newlyweds and their guests danced the night away, and even went home with customized hats in bright neon colors. At the end of the evening, Christy and Alex were sent off by their loved ones with a sea of streamers cascading over them as they walked by. An epic celebration for one epic love story!

Sarah + Connie | Campovida

June 5, 2019

After touring several wineries with Sarah and Connie who are based in San Francisco, Campovida proved to be the perfect choice for the couple who wished to create a weekend escape for their family and friends. Campovida’s lush garden along with mountain and vineyard views would be the perfect backdrop for our couple who wanted to create a wedding that would marry their bohemian and modern styles in perfect balance. They settled on a fall wedding where moody florals and jewel-toned touches would reflect their wedding style choices.

Guests arrived into the garden pathway which leads down a road with views of vineyards, and mountains before they turned into the tunnel of gardens, marked with a personalized acrylic welcome sign that hung from the arbor. Guests were greeted with beverages and mingled while taking Polaroid photos and browsing through the photo guest book. Sarah and Connie’s ceremony took place under a canopy of grape vines and incorporated both of their cultures by way of a minimalist copper chuppah draped with soft white linen and the reading of a Chinese poem. The two were a vision of beauty and love as they exchanged vows which were officiated by their close friend.

Cocktails followed the ceremony in the middle of the gardens where we had cocktail tables set with grey printed linens that served as a modern element. Dinner was served in the circular garden surrounding a fountain with a magical canopy of wisteria growing overhead. Rich velvet linen in slate grey and moody autumnal florals by Hawthorne Flower Studio set the tone for the bold and romantic reception design. We added small touches of modern flair to accent and accentuate the stunning blooms by using acrylic etched table numbers, black and gold flatware, and muted mauve velvet napkins for the menus to be placed on. Each menu featured bold modern black text and a hand applied copper embellishment to tie in subtle gold accents. To end the night on a sweet note, dessert included four different types of sweets from locally sourced vendors which included a wedding cake, miniature pies, an ice cream bar, and beignets.

The evening was spent celebrating Sarah and Connie in the most beautiful way, and we are so grateful to have brought their dreamy wedding vision to life at Campovida!

Carolyn + Scott | Private Estate

September 13, 2017

There’s something special about planning a wedding on a private estate. The chance for our design team to truly do something unique is what we thrive on. Carolyn and Scott wanted the flexibility and the intimacy of a private venue and the low key vibe of a backyard wedding. Amongst beautiful greenery and rolling hills, it’s easy to see why our bride and groom found Scott’s home to be the best space for their mid-century modern inspired “I Do’s.”

Held in the backyard on the lawn, the ceremony was modern yet elegant with crisp white and bright yellow accents. Guests were seated on white Eames-style chairs for the backyard ceremony, and neutral stone vases held pale yellow florals and greenery.

Followed by the three cutest flower girls wearing flower crowns, Carolyn walked down the aisle wearing a modern gown, holding an overflowing bouquet of ferns and golden blooms designed by Hawthorn Flower Studio, while Scott wore a custom navy linen suit with yellow accessories. Flanked by her bridesmaids wearing a variation of pastel blue dresses, Carolyn and Scott exchanged vows and became Mr. and Mrs.!

For cocktail hour, a delicious spread of meat and cheeses were served along with specialty cocktails from Libations. The signature cocktail for Carolyn and Scott was a smoky Manhattan and a Jalepeno-Cucumber collins with edible flowers.

The reception area was filled with long, wooden family style tables that were thoughtfully designed with white chargers topped with yellow napkins and silver flatware. Tropical style greenery served as centerpieces for each setting. A delectable dinner by Pixie and the Scout was served and beautiful toasts were given throughout the rest of dinner.

Guests enjoyed dancing the night away with Boutique DJs and sweet treats by Moustache Baked Goods . Special thank you to onelove Photography for capturing the best moments of the day and to all of the vendors who made this unique and beautiful day a success!

For cocktail hour, we wanted to make the most of the space the property allowed. We placed lounge furniture for guests to grab drinks, enjoy appetizers, mingle and explore the beauty of the property.

We had the pleasure of meeting Sarah and Sarah when they were referred to us to help them with finding the perfect venue. Planning their Wine Country wedding from LA seemed like a daunting task so our venue scouting services were the perfect solution for them. Over the course of two days we were able to show them a variety of properties, upon which they fell in love with the natural beauty of Arista Winery and all it had to offer!

After getting to know the lovely brides visions and wants for their wedding day, we were easily able to translate that into a beautiful celebration of their love. The ceremony was held outdoors on the property’s vibrant green lawn surrounded by lush trees and the open sky. The two exchanged vows in a touching ceremony officiated by a friend, held beneath a wooden pergola that was covered in bright white blooms and tons of greenery. A chandelier hung from the center of the structure, adding a touch of elegance to the setting.

Christine + Rob | Chalk Hill Winery

April 19, 2017

When designing a wedding at Chalk Hill Winery Estate Winery, we let the venue set the tone. For Christine and Rob’s special day we played off of the grandiose spaces, natural beauty and breathtaking views. They wanted the quintessential wine country back drop, and this venue was the perfect setting.

Our bride and groom said “I do” on a beautiful summers day with an idyllic backdrop of the rolling hills of Healdsburg. Surrounded by vineyard views, the serenity of the land provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, transporting you to the quintessential Wine Country. The glowing bride walked down the aisle in an elegant white gown, while her groom stood awaiting her in a sharp grey suit. His light pink tie in perfect harmony with the warm purple color scheme of the bridal party's dresses and their bouquets of flowers created by Daisy Rose.

While the reception moved partially indoors, guests were still treated to panoramic views and a tasteful setting to enjoy the night’s merriment. Long, family style oak tables were topped with warm colored bouquets, which tied together the day’s palette.

As music fanatics, they sourced one of their favorite musician duos to fly up and write a personalized love song for their walk down the aisle and their first dance. To carry the theme through, we created personalized “concert tickets” as escort cards for guest to find their table, and each table was labeled with the concert- each one a special concert that Christine and Rob attended together during their courtship. With love filling the air, spectacular lighting and music from Verducci Entertainment and Aaron & Jane, the celebrations went well into the night. Keeping the cool summer nights in mind, we provided pashminas for women to keep warm.

Special thank you to Lori Paladino for capturing this beautiful wedding. We love reminiscing on Christine and Rob’s special day at such an incredible venue and we are so happy we had the opportunity to be part of their day!

Dayna + Judd | Arista Winery

April 12, 2017

Located in the heart of Sonoma’s wine country, surrounded by vineyards and organic gardens, you’ll find the Arista Winery. Designing a wedding at this venue is always a pleasant experience for us as we can’t say enough about its natural beauty and space. When Dayna and Judd asked us to help make their wedding dreams come to life, we were more than thrilled!

They wanted to create a blend of the bride’s modern NY style with the natural landscape of Wine Country. Hues of blue, cream and light pink set the tone for the wedding’s design. Dayna’s bridesmaids wore beautiful knee-length dresses in a silver-blue hue while the groomsmen looked sharp in tuxedos and bowties. Dayna looked like an absolute dream walking down the aisle in a custom flowy ethereal dress and a delicate hair piece. Saying “I do” in a secluded area of the winery surrounded by lush greenery we could feel the sentiments of love in the air.

Using mixed metals and geometric influences throughout, guests found their table assignments on a copper metal display that was used as an entrance to the reception area. Dinner was served on long, family style tables and white linen runners to keep the design minimal. By adding succulents in glass domes and bouquets of cream and light pink flowers by Centerpiece Napa Valley we were able to preserve the natural beauty of the venue, while adding a touch of decor to the tables.

With music provided by AMS and a fun photo booth by A Flying Camera for guests to capture goofy selfies throughout the night, we added fairy lights to keep the entertainment going through the night. With a surprise performance by the bride just before the first dance, she serenaded her new husband as she sang him a love song. As a late night treat, Dayna and Judd provided guests with mini cupcakes, macaroons and the couple's favorite, Oreos.

We had such a great time working with Dayna and Judd to create the intimate laid back wedding they desired. Special thank you to Brad Harris Photography for the photographs! We are so happy to be able to relive this special day.

Nadia + Ahmed | Ledson Winery

April 5, 2017

On a gorgeous September day, Nadia and Ahmed said “I do” at Ledson Winery in an elegant celebration of their love.

Known lovingly as “The Castle”, the beautiful 16,000 square foot French Normandy structure and it’s impeccable vineyard surroundings served as the jaw dropping backdrop for the occasion. Flanked by bridesmaids in deep purple gowns and groomsmen in sharp black tuxes, our bride and groom exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony on the brick steps with their closest loved ones watching from their gold chiavari seats on the lawn.

The cocktail hour that followed allowed guests to mingle, grab drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and explore more of the beauty that the exquisite property has to offer. It was during this time that we transformed the ceremony location into a gorgeous reception space where guests would enjoy a fabulous dinner catered by Grape Vine Catering.

Using neutral tones with gold accents and soft florals, the design of the reception exuded a classic elegance that complimented the sophistication of the venue but still allowed the natural surroundings to shine. Nadia and Ahmed’s intimate sweetheart table sat elevated above their guests on the steps where they had earlier said “I do” while guests dined at round tables of 8 on the lawn below. Tabletops boasted ornate gold chargers, gold flatware, and glistening gold rimmed glassware with stunning floral centerpieces by Kari Martz Design in soft hues of ivory, blush, lavender, and lush greenery.

Guests dined beneath the beautiful open sky and danced the night away to the tunes played by DJ Aykut. A classic and elegant four tiered cake by Patisserie Angelica completed the evening’s festivities and Your Dream Photo was there to capture all of the unforgettable moments that we are so happy to have been part of with Nadia and Ahmed
