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

Rachel + Brian Featured on Carats and Cake

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!

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
