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!

Alicia + Adam | Geyserville Inn

On a warm, beautiful September day, Alicia and Adam exchanged vows at the Geyserville Inn. In the Heart of Alexander Valley, and a stunning backdrop of mountains and vineyards, Geyserville Inn’s serene venue exudes a tranquil ambiance. The spacious grounds provided the perfect location for Alicia and Adam’s wedding day.

Deep jewel tones in blue, purple, and pink hues set a vibrant tone for this fun loving couple and their wedding’s design. Alicia’s bridesmaid wore floor length deep blue gowns while Adam wore a sharp navy blue suit with a floral tie and his groomsmen in grey suits with light blue ties. Alicia walked down the dreamy aisle lined with pink and white flower petals in a stunning flowy wedding dress. Under an intimately decorated pergola, surrounded by lush landscapes and vineyard views, the couple said “I do!” sealed with a kiss.

Following the ceremony, we took advantage of the the vast space the lawn provided and placed lounge furniture and cocktail tables for guests to comfortably enjoy cocktails, appetizers and to appreciate the beauty of the property.

For the reception, the bride designed each table, focusing on small details. With white table linens and white chairs, we added bright, bold colors by incorporating gold and blue accents. The gorgeous centerpieces of each table provided the perfect pop of color - gold vases with remarkable bouquets of deep purple, pink and blue florals thanks to Country Living Florist- the bride's ever-so-talented mother! The sweetheart table was draped in blue beaded linen with a stunning centerpiece and plush seating for an elegant touch.

Geyserville Inn provided a delectable menu for guests to enjoy while Moustache Baked Goods created a stunning and modern four tiered white wedding cake topped with exquisite florals. As the sun went down, guests joined the bride and groom on the dance floor lit by string lighting which created a magical aura for the celebration.

Thank you to the entire team for making Alicia + Adam’s big day possible! And we can’t say enough about Caitlin O’Reilly Photography for capturing the day’s magic.
