Lauren + Dell Featured On California Wedding Day

We recently shared details of Lauren and Dell’s beautiful European inspired wedding at Kunde Family Winery on our blog and today we are excited to see their wedding featured on California Wedding Day!

Being a leading local bridal media outlet, California Wedding Day focuses on sharing real wedding and gorgeous inspiration produced by talented creatives from all over the Golden State. It’s an honor to see Lauren and Dell’s wedding day highlighted along with our team of incredible vendors who helped us create such a special day for them.

“After saying their ‘I dos”’ at St. Francis Solano Church, Lauren and Dell invited their closest family and friends to a European tea party-inspired reception at Boot Hill at the Kunde Family Winery. The couple envisioned a classic and simple setting to highlight Sonoma’s natural beauty. The day’s elegant details included delicate, floral stationery from Bianca at Studio Luzance, hand-dyed silk ribbon and twinkling lights strung from 100+ year old oaks. Lush blooms and garlands hugged the wooden sweetheart table under the arch of an oak tree. The bridal party signed a special bottle of Kunde’s Moon Mountain District wine to be opened on the couple’s 10th anniversary. “ - California Wedding Day

Olga + Michael Featured in Real Weddings Magazine

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
