Jessica + Alex Featured on Style Me Pretty

Inspired by the rolling hills and lush landscape of St Francis Winery, we worked with Jessica and Alex to design a wedding celebration that would incorporate soft textures and lush floral displays. Hawthorn Flower Studio helped us achieve this incredible look through the use of moody mauve tones, loosely structured centerpieces, and flowing greenery over the arbors that displayed the seating charts.

Jessica and Alex’s wedding day was one of the highlights of our 2019 season and we are so excited to see them featured on Style Me Pretty! Keep reading for a snippet of what they had to say!

“Say hello to wedding goals! Organic, flowing florals by Hawthorn Flower Studio and a lush flower arch that served as both the ceremony and sweetheart table backdrop are just the beginning of this stunning California wedding day. L' Relyea Events worked with the bride and groom to create a warm and inviting celebration overflowing with fun details. Nathalie Cheng Photography flawlessly captured all the sweet moments and stylish design..” - Style Me Pretty

Leah + Mike Featured on Style Me Pretty

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

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

Nora + Tyler Featured in Bridal Guide Magazine

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!
