Sarah + Connie | Campovida

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!

Sarah + Sarah | Arista Winery

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.

The reception that followed featured a crisp and neutral color palette that would both enhance and compliment the beautiful surroundings of the property. Guests dined on long, family style tables covered in white linens, paired with modern wooden chairs. Hawthorn Flower Studio created soft floral garland that ran down the center of each table, adding texture and romance to the table design. Each place setting featured a soft grey linen napkin, silver flatware, and a fragrant sprig of rosemary as the finishing touch. The evening was spent toasting to the blushing brides and enjoying a decadent dinner by Park Avenue Catering.

A special thank you to all of the creatives who helped us bring Sarah & Sarah’s vision to life for them, and to Brooke Beasley Photography who captured the day so perfectly!

Located at the base of Sonoma’s oak-covered hills amongst lush gardens and fruit trees, Curtis and Jessica gathered their closest friends and family on a beautiful autumn day at the historic and picturesque General’s Daughter to say, “I do.”

On a quaint patio with vine covered arbor, the venue provided the perfect setting for the bride’s friends and family from Illinois to meet and mingle with Curtis’ friends and family from California.

The ceremony began tucked away into a garden trellis softened by a flowy fabric backdrop we created for their sweet alter, an ideal intimate setting. The bride wore a flowing white gown and the groom a dark grey tux with a black tie. Jessica carried a charming bouquet designed by Hawthorn Flower Studio with soft pinks and oranges to compliment her bridesmaids beautiful pink dresses.

Following the ceremony, guests filtered into the venue’s sprawling patio. Where they were greeted by tables donned with beautiful bouquets of flowers, which matched the bride's. The stunning array of floral tones completed the wedding’s color palette, and contributed to its sophisticated ambience. Guests enjoyed a night of celebrating the newlyweds by drinking from the venue’s vintage bar and danced the night away thanks to AMS.

It was a pleasure working with these two to create the romantic and timeless wedding they dreamed of. Special thank you to Kylie Chavelier for capturing this dreamy day!
