Roxanne & Steve | Trentadue Winery | Real LRE Wedding
Roxanne & Steve envisioned a Wine Country weekend getaway for their big day, and Trentadue Winery was the perfect backdrop for this. Through subtle pastel tones, romantic, rustic accents, and with the help of Trentadue Winery's lush surroundings, this venue was transformed into the perfect outdoor vineyard setting.
Gina's Floral Enchantment designed dreamy blooms for this event, only accenting the natural beauty with soft, pretty details. The dream these two had for their special day really came to life through the lens of Jennifer Bagwell Photography's visionary eye, and Front Side Film's compilation of footage.
While this event nodded to the simple & organic aesthetics of the winery setting, there were several personal touches that created a unique and special atmosphere for the bride & groom. From the customized marquee bar sign, to the love stories hand selected by the couple and incorporated throughout the event, the attention to detail did not go unnoticed.
We incorporated rustic whitewash farm tables, coupled with handmade runners. Each table was adorned with handmade table numbers, vintage crystal vases (all hand sourced by our crafty bride), and collections of love stories that the couple gathered during their one year engagement leading up to the big day.
This group was full of fun. They sipped on wine-based cocktails, noshed on wine country delicacies, and enjoyed cordials and cigars throughout the evening. After dancing the night away under chandeliers and a garden gazebo, guests bid them a farewell with sparklers.
& as always, a huge thanks to all the lovely vendors we had the pleasure of working with on this event:

Nick & Nicholle | Chalk Hill Estate Winery | Healdsburg, California
"Love at first site". This is a concept we dream of and wonder about often, but for Nick & Nicholle, it was a reality fairytale come true. These two were separately vacationing in the caribbean islands for New Years Eve, when Nicholle accidentally missed her ferry to St. Barth. Stranded on St. Martin, she took shelter in a nearby pub to figure out her next year, where she met her future husband. Later, Nicholle, a Toronto native, was visiting New York and met up with Nick. The two claim the rest was history. Here we are, years later, watching their love story unravel into an elegant formal wedding affair at one of our favorite venues in Wine Country: Chalk Hill Winery Estate.
Chalk Hill Winery Estate is undoubtedly one of the premier wedding venues in Northern California, if not the United States. This comes as no surprise to those who have stepped foot on this property even just once. The "wow" factor of this location is like none other. The spanning rolling hills of the Chalk Hill vineyards seem to transplant you to a place and time like the countryside of Tuscany. You feel miles away from any fuss of the outside world, and the organic beauty of all its spaces are without a doubt some of the best we have seen. The on site chapel is nestled atop a hill in the middle of the property, with vast surrounding vineyard views, a tranquil fountain and courtyard, and an Italian inspired bell tower. The wedding spaces are breathtaking with 360 degree views at almost every location, all with different appealing elements and offerings. Oh, and did we mention the wine is spectacular? A definite perk!
When discussing design, there is something to be said for a property like Chalk Hill. Here you can easily let the property speak for itself aesthetically, or play off the grandiose spaces it provides by incorporating extravagant details. For Nick & Nicholle, they wanted to create a classic, elegant wedding. For them, our design incorporated simple white & cream details throughout; from the gold chiavari chairs, to the simple yet stunning white hydrangea centerpieces, this wedding was fit for a fairytale.
Huge thanks to all our wonderful vendors involved in making Nick & Nicholle's wedding a dream come true for them:

Venue Scouting in Napa & Sonoma Wine Country: How to find the perfect wedding venue
Are you recently engaged and looking to get married in the highly desirable Wine Country? Whether you are local or looking for a destination wedding, we are here to help you find a perfect fit for your wedding venue. With over 60,000 acres of vineyards and more than 600 wineries in Napa and Sonoma Counties collectively, there are an immense and diverse range of options to choose from when visiting these popular tourist destinations.
Over the years, Napa and Sonoma have rapidly become two of the top desirable locations in the world for destination weddings due to its rustic charm, upscale wineries, vineyards, restaurants and its vast scenic beauty. With so many options in these two areas for wedding venues, it can be an overwhelming and tedious feat to try to pick and choose where to host your big day. This is where we come in.
We have recently created a special package for this exact reason. With the majority of our team being from the Napa and Sonoma regions, we are highly knowledgable of all that these destinations have to offer, from wineries and vineyards, to hotels and restaurants and beyond. Combined, we take pride in our ability to create an efficient and productive day of venue scouting that will give you a great kickstart to your wedding planning. We believe that the entire wedding planning experience should be fun, inspiring and enjoyable for the couple, and we want to help create this easygoing and memorable experience for our clients.
How It Works:
We come on board to get to know your visions, dreams and ideas for your wedding and focus those into one cohesive list of qualified venues to suit your style and price point. We put together a lovely day of venue tours, lunch on us, and wine tastings. This is an excellent opportunity for us to get to know you as the couple better and discuss logistics of the venues, paint a picture of how the wedding day/weekend would look and how the style and design could be produced in each space. We really want to make this fun, exciting and inspiring for you, so we follow up with a detailed spreadsheet with information about each venue we visited (inclusions, requirements, suggestions, etc.) so that you can not only make a confident and positive decision, but also not have to worry about retaining all of the information during the day. This will allow you to focus on seeing and visualizing the space without having to take notes or worry about remembering the many logistical details that will be discussed.
Hopefully, by the end of our day together, we have established trust and a great relationship and you are interested in bringing us on board to be apart of their wedding planning dream team. We know how overwhelming this aspect of planning your wedding can be, and our goal is to provide our clients with valuable information and affordable assistance that will help you moving forward and ease any stress or worry that you may have around planning. While we are focused in Sonoma and Napa, we are always excited to see new venues and locations and the challenge of designing a new space, regionally, domestically or internationally. The sky is the limit, and we look forward to any chance to help you make your dream wedding a reality.
