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!

Allison + Danny’s dreamed of a wedding that captured the rustic beauty of the Ranch, but also encompassed magical and whimsical touches throughout. With Allison’s love of hydrangeas and a whimsical sunset palette of flowing dresses for her bridesmaids, we were determined to make their vision a reality.

Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, our happy couple exchanged vows in a lovely outdoor ceremony. A beautifully designed bridal arch covered in lush greenery and pale blue, cream and pink blooms by Cherries Flowers, served as the ceremonies focal point where all eyes were on Allison + Danny as they exchanged vows. Allison’s bridesmaids sunset palette of dresses paired perfectly with the groomsmen's light grey suits and the natural surroundings.

The cocktail hour in the apple orchard was full of signature cocktails served from a vintage teardrop trainers from Libations Unlimited and fun lawn games to keep guests entertained. For the reception, guests walked to the top of the hill for dinner under a twinkle-lit tent canopy thanks to Got Light. A mix of long family style tables and round intimate tables were paired with vineyard chairs to play off of the natural surroundings. We kept the table design minimal allowing the focus to be on the gorgeous floral centerpieces of soft blue, pink and cream blooms.

For entertainment later on in the evening, we converted the garage into a club for the late night dancing with lighting washes, white leather furniture, and an amazing live band, The Duvets!

All of the incredible beauty of the day was captured by Brooke Beasley Photography. We love reliving the beautiful details of this day! As always, special thank you to all vendors for helping make this wedding a reality! We love reliving the beautiful details of this day!

Elise + David | Private Estate

L'RelyeaEvents-RedwoodWedding-EmilyScannell-1

Working with Elise + David on their whimsical forest wedding was truly a dream! While we love the convenience of a conventional wedding venue, the decision to hold their nuptials on their family's private estate amongst ancient towering redwoods made for a magical and unforgettable event.

Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, our happy couple exchanged vows in a lovely outdoor ceremony. An arch covered in lush greenery and cream and blush blooms by Jane Hardgrove served as the ceremony's focal point where all eyes were on Elise + David as they became husband and wife. The contrast of the groom and groomsmen's light suits with the bridesmaid's deep maroon gowns were a stunning contrast to the natural surroundings.

The reception was held in a large clearing surrounded by soaring trees with twinkling lights strung overhead for a romantic ambiance. Round tables cloaked in neutral linens were paired with vineyard chairs and elegant place settings, both enhancing the scenery and playing off of the whimsical fairyland surroundings. Gorgeous floral centerpieces were comprised of peach and cream blooms with subtle pops of deep maroon.

Fogcutter SF served up mouthwatering tray passed appetizers through cocktail hour and an impressive dinner that was as delicious as it was beautiful! Guests enjoyed an evening of dancing beneath the stars to the tunes played by Verducci Event Productions and grabbing drinks from the custom beer bar, naturally a huge hit!

Thank you as always to our incredible team of vendors that helped bring Elise + David's vision to life and to Emily Scannell for such beautiful imagery!
