Private Estate Wedding in Healdsburg, California

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

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!

Tatyana + Timor | Beltane Ranch

Beltane-Ranch-Lrelyea-Events-Cathy-Stancil

Tatyana and Timor’s gorgeous Beltane Ranch wedding had a timeless elegance like no other and we loved that their unique styles shined through in every way throughout the design of the day!

With classic makeup and a side swept bun done beautifully by Honey Do Artistry, Tatyana walked down the aisle in a vintage inspired ivory gown with lace sleeve details and a belted waist. Her stunning bridal bouquet by Mae Flowers was loose in structure and full of white blooms with hints of deep burgundy and various textures of greenery. Timor awaited her beneath the modest chuppah in a light grey three piece suit with a vibrant blue bow tie and pocket square. The breathtaking surroundings of the Sonoma Valley bed and breakfast provided the perfect, lush backdrop to their relaxed outdoor ceremony where they became husband and wife.

Their intimate reception catered by Beltane Ranch took place on the vibrant lawn beneath mature trees, providing the perfect amount of natural shade. Guests dined family style on a beautiful wooden table paired with vineyard chairs by Bright Event Rentals. Leafy green garland with touches of pink blooms served as a centerpieces running down the length of the table and cascading elegantly over the edge. Each guest’s seat featured a folded linen napkin, custom printed menu, silver flatware, and a bright green apple as the unique finishing touch.

We love getting to be part of such special moments in our couple’s lives and Tatyana and Timor’s unforgettable nuptials will forever stay with us!
