January 22, 2020

Last fall we worked with Leah and Mike to bring to life their earthy, yet modern wedding at The Barn at Tyge Williams Cellars. Pops of deep green, long farm tables, and leafy textured florals would come together perfectly for a beautiful celebration in Sonoma as the couple’s friends and family flew in from all over the country to celebrate Leah + Mike’s incredible love story. (Head to our blog for more details on the design and day HERE!)

We are thrilled to share that their Sonoma celebration has been featured on Style Me Pretty - keep reading for a sneak peek of the feature!

“When it came time to plan their wedding day, Leah along with L'Relyea Events took a look at her Pinterest board (as every bride creates,) and through that, the wedding came to life! Full of long farm-style tables and earthy greens with modern touches, the bride's original vision was exactly what was created on her wedding day, at The Barn at Tyge Cellars!

With a beautiful bridesmaid's dress color palette and the most adorable flower girls, the day was full of love, laughs, and stories, all captured by Mike Larson Photography. Add in Valley Flora's lush centerpieces and bouquets and you have a real-life Pinterest board brought to life!” - Style Me Pretty

Rachel + Brian Featured on Carats and Cake

November 20, 2019

As seen featured recently on Carats and Cake, Rachel and Brian’s gorgeous wedding at Solage Calistoga had an effortless beauty to it that we loved designing for our sweet couple!

Our initial design inspirations involved tons of images of loose textured florals, sophisticated tabletop details, and the use of lush greenery throughout. With the help of the incredibly talented team of vendors we assembled, the end result for Rachel and Brian’s wedding is still one of our favorites to date!

The two said ‘‘I do” on the lush outdoor lawn at Solage Resort where the venues beautiful green landscape provided us the perfect palette to draw inspiration from. Hawthorn Flower Studio designed a chuppah for the focal point of the ceremony using natural elements for the frame of the structure and covered it with loose rich greenery and florals in tones of white and deep burgundy. Rachel embodied timeless beauty as she walked down the aisle in her Mira Zwillinger gown to exchange vows with Brian.

The celebration continued with an indoor reception where guests would celebrate the newlyweds and enjoy an incredible menu and perfectly paired wines. Just as we had envisioned in the original concepts, the reception tablescapes were minimalistic yet sophisticated with their loose textured floral centerpieces and a pop of black by way of the beautiful chairs used. To distinguish the head table, we worked with Hawthorn Flower Studio and Got Light on a truly romantic lighting installation over the rectangular table. The installation included Edison bulbs hanging from varying lengths accompanied by leafy greens and white florals. With the candles lit and the Edison bulbs on, the ambiance was really something special!

Olga + Michael Featured in Real Weddings Magazine

August 1, 2019

Completed in 1903, the beautiful and historic Hellman-Ehrman Mansion on Lake Tahoe (Tahoma, Ca) served as the stunning backdrop for Olga and Michael’s wedding last August which we had the pleasure of being part of. The lakeside ceremony and intimate reception on the lawn created an unforgettable day for our bride and groom and we are so excited to see their wedding featured in print in Real Weddings Magazine!

The long-awaited day started with Olga and Michael getting reach with their closet friends and parents in nearby rental homes where they sipped champagne, listened to music, and prepped for the big moment leading up. Once onsite, the groomsmen got to hang on the mansion terrace and enjoy the view with beers in hand while the ladies put their finishing touches on their look for the day while tucked away in the bridal cottage. Guests arrived and enjoyed the lake front view with refreshments and gathered hand-made ribbon wands to usher the couple down the aisle following their ‘I Do’s. The bride was escorted by her mom down the aisle to see her groom. Following their vows, they and guests transitioned into the reception on the lawn overlooking the lake. Hors d’oeuvres and dinner flowed along with toasts from friends and family featuring a family style dinner from Blend Catering. Guests found their seats for dinner with hand-made celebration poppers by the bride, which included paper head crowns and small treasures for each guest to enjoy during dinner; it was such a fun and festive addition and made for an extra joyful toast at dinner as guests donned their paper crowns. Following dinner guests enjoyed donuts from Doughboys Donuts and danced the night away to personal favorites like ‘3005’ by Childish Gambino. ‘It was one of my most played songs from college. When it came on everyone was so excited and started dancing and singing along, and it just really was exactly what I wanted the night to be,’ remembers Olga.

Their dreamy, unforgettable wedding that they happily shared with their family and friends is a memory they will both love and cherish for years to come. The bride remembers, ‘It wasn’t that long ago, but I can still picture the whole scene so vividly, and I hope that never changes.’ “ - Real Weddings Magazine

June 21, 2019

Nora and Tyler’s Annadel Estate Winery wedding was a joy to plan and design and we are so thrilled to see it featured in print in the May/June 2019 issue of Bridal Guide Magazine!

“Vineyards offer more than wine. Take this one: Annadel Estate Winery in Santa Rosa, California also cultivates heirloom roses and organic produce. ‘It’s in the middle of wine country, but it has a garden-like feel,’ says Lindsey Relyea, creative director of L’Relyea Events. To plan a fete at this captivating venue, Relyea followed the stylish couple’s lead.

‘The bride has this beautiful style,’ she says. ‘She pushed me to take a different approach than usual.’ To wit: an unexpected color palette in moody, sophisticated shades of slate blue, grey, and burgundy accented with dusty greens. Upon arrival, guests were escorted through a rose garden to the stone ruins of the original 1880s winery for the ceremony.” - Bridal Guide Magazine

Thank you to our dream team of creative partners who helped us bring Nora and Tyler’s exceptional vision to life at Annadel Estate Winery. See more of the beautiful details below and be sure to pick up your copy of Bridal Guide Magazine on stands now!

Maggie + Clayton Featured on Style Me Pretty

September 26, 2017

We are so thrilled to share we've been featured on Style Me Pretty for Maggie + Clayton stunning outdoor wedding at the beautiful Calistoga Ranch! Their wedding featured lush greenery, gorgeous florals, unique lighting installations and details we adore!

"Inspired by their love of nature, this couple infused their Calistoga Ranch wedding with natural elements that played homage to the great outdoors along with an insanely romantic twist of course. From a chic, greenery lined aisle to elegant alfesco dining under the most insane floral + lighting installations crafted by Loop Flowers & Event Arts and planned by L'Relyea Events, this wedding is luxury meets au naturel. Get up close and personal with all the pretty details captured by The De Jaureguis." - Erin Lepperd via Style Me Pretty

"We love the outdoors, and wanted to incorporate natural elements, so we were highly inspired by different textures and colors found in nature; natural wood grains, the effects of lighting, petals/greenery/foliage. We chose our venue due to it's luxurious, natural setting. Some parts of the event come across as rustic, but I actually never thought of it that way. I prefer to think of it from the standpoint of the emotions evoked and the atmosphere that all of these elements together create. To add elegance and warmth, we included hints of cream/ivory and gold/rose gold, while featuring beautiful lighting throughout the spaces.

For the overall feel of each of the 3 locations in which our wedding events took place, we pursued a natural and lush feel: focusing on lighting and greenery. We sought to soften structures that may appear harsh aesthetically. The ceremony was in a structured tent with vines and garlands lining the cross bars, and a lovely draped garland at the altar, pooling in a grouping of ferns at the floor. The dinner took place on a lawn, with 2 long farm tables (with rose gold flatware) - hanging from the open air tent structure were custom built Edison bulb/wood plank "chandeliers" overflowing with foliage (greenery, and white flowers). Dancing took place in the wine cave, where we offered a contrast of elegant hops hanging from the more medieval style chandeliers, while 4 disco balls spun with dynamic colored lighting." - Maggie via Style Me Pretty

We knew Megan + Brett's beautiful Beaulieu Gardens wedding was truly something special, so we are thrilled it is featured on Carats & Cake!

Given the stunning gardens on the estate property, we focused on embracing the property for design with a quintessential wine country estate garden wedding. Their classic and timeless style set the tone for this elegant fete slight touches of Kate Spade in modern accents of black and gold. Their ceremony was a dreamy fairy tale surrounded by lush gardens in the courtyard where guests were seated. A whispering fountain set in the center of the courtyard and the bride and groom took center stage under a natural birch arbor adorned with blooms. Guests meandered through the gardens sipping on handcrafted cocktails and champagne before retreating to the lush dining arbor for dinner. Their guests sat at long tables with crystal chandeliers overhead. Each guest had a dedicated seat with their customized menu printed.
