Alex + Ryan | Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch

Alex and Ryan have a spark that positively  impacts those around them. Their relationship exuded electricity, fun and most importantly, love. When Alex told us she wanted a colorful and fun wedding that incorporated their roots, we were excited to transform her vision into reality!

Our bride and groom wanted their bridal party to stand out on the big day, so bold colors were consistent throughout the day. Bridesmaids wore tea length dresses in deep purple hues with classic black pumps and carried vibrant blooms.  The groom and his groomsmen looked sharp in royal blue suits with purple ties and brown shoes.  Of course the bride stole the show in a stunning sweetheart cut fitted dress with a beautiful train. Her bouquet was the perfect contrast of her bridesmaids with soft pink and white blooms.

Alex and Ryan exchanged vows during a quaint ceremony at a church just a few miles from Farmstead.  Following the ceremony, guests found their table assignments displayed on a large chalkboard that gave the event a relaxed vibe. While waiting for the bride and groom, guests enjoyed playing cornhole and were treated to live music by a Mariachi band while relaxing with fresh drinks and appetizers curated by Farmstead.

Dinner was served on long family style tables draped with white linens with a backdrop that boasted lush vineyards. As for the table design, we used clear vases to hold colorful bunches of various flowers from Centerpiece Napa Valley to keep the bold and bright theme of the wedding. The wedding cake was simple yet stunning with two lilies perched on top.  With DJ Crimson, the celebrations continued well into the night! Guests enjoyed drinking, dancing and took advantage of the photo booth, thanks to Night Owl Photo Booth.

Special thank you to Caitlin O’Reilly for capturing the beauty and excitement of the day! This is one wedding we won’t forget!

Dayna + Judd | Arista Winery

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.
