Christy + Alex | Annadel Estate Winery

October 30, 2019

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!

Amongst the tranquillity of the Sonoma Coast, with stunning 360-degree views of the ocean and the rolling Sonoma mountains, it’s easy to see why Whitney + Jesse chose the Bodega Harbour Yacht Club to exchange vows.

Our bride wore a gorgeous white gown with a blush bow that tied around the back. The blush dress detail paired beautifully with the lush greenery and white florals that framed the wedding ceremony. The couple stood in front of their closest family and friends under a stunning arch of florals expertly crafted by Aimee Lomeli.

Following the ceremony, the celebration moved to the upper level of the Yacht Club where the reception took place. The room was filled with round tables draped in classic white linens, white chairs and gorgeous, bountiful white florals. Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner catered by Bluewater Bistro that was served on white china and silver flatware.

Carolyn + Scott | Private Estate

September 13, 2017

There’s something special about planning a wedding on a private estate. The chance for our design team to truly do something unique is what we thrive on. Carolyn and Scott wanted the flexibility and the intimacy of a private venue and the low key vibe of a backyard wedding. Amongst beautiful greenery and rolling hills, it’s easy to see why our bride and groom found Scott’s home to be the best space for their mid-century modern inspired “I Do’s.”

Held in the backyard on the lawn, the ceremony was modern yet elegant with crisp white and bright yellow accents. Guests were seated on white Eames-style chairs for the backyard ceremony, and neutral stone vases held pale yellow florals and greenery.

Followed by the three cutest flower girls wearing flower crowns, Carolyn walked down the aisle wearing a modern gown, holding an overflowing bouquet of ferns and golden blooms designed by Hawthorn Flower Studio, while Scott wore a custom navy linen suit with yellow accessories. Flanked by her bridesmaids wearing a variation of pastel blue dresses, Carolyn and Scott exchanged vows and became Mr. and Mrs.!

For cocktail hour, a delicious spread of meat and cheeses were served along with specialty cocktails from Libations. The signature cocktail for Carolyn and Scott was a smoky Manhattan and a Jalepeno-Cucumber collins with edible flowers.

The reception area was filled with long, wooden family style tables that were thoughtfully designed with white chargers topped with yellow napkins and silver flatware. Tropical style greenery served as centerpieces for each setting. A delectable dinner by Pixie and the Scout was served and beautiful toasts were given throughout the rest of dinner.

Guests enjoyed dancing the night away with Boutique DJs and sweet treats by Moustache Baked Goods . Special thank you to onelove Photography for capturing the best moments of the day and to all of the vendors who made this unique and beautiful day a success!

Located in the heart of wine country, surrounded by vineyards and lush greenery, you'll find Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch. We can't say enough about Farmstead’s natural beauty and spacious areas. Needless to say, we were thrilled to have planned and designed this unforgettable fete!

Alicia + Adam | Geyserville Inn

May 10, 2017

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.
