The funnest wedding ever!

Steven and Shannon incorporated all the things they love into their wedding celebration. It was simple and perfect. All the people they love - Great wine - Amazing food - And a little bit of funk! There were tons of little details that made this wedding one of a kind. From the  donkey greeting guests to the pinata over the dance floor - this party was like no other.

More cowbell!

If you have not yet had the opportunity to experience Salt and Straw go there today. It is quite possibly the best ice cream on the planet...

This great little trio led guests on a little parade up the hill to the reception site.

Can you say sassy.

Shannon painted tons of tins in bright fushia and orange for us to fill with blooms. She also added bands of gold to milk bottles and jars for a splash of shimmer - so lovely!

The couples sweet little camper doubled as a shady spot to get ready for the wedding as well as the perfect place to spend their wedding night together. Ahhhh - a camp under the stars in the middle of a vineyard and just steps away from the party!

This just in from Lauren Brooks

These beautiful images just came in from Lauren Brooks photography. She has an amazing eye for light and form as well as the uncanny ability to capture the sweetest of moments. I just love the series of intimate images in the conservatory - she really captures the feeling of this lovely wedding.

Rain forced us to change venues at the last minute so we all rushed from Garden Vineyards over to DeArmond Garden estate where the conservatory provided shelter from the rain. Luckily the bride and groom were so kind, easy going and gracious that they were able to run with all the stress of the move and just enjoy the magic of their day.

Flowers of the day

A bright summer wedding at Apalloni winery

This wedding was so bright and cheery. It was such a perfect day - sunny - with a warm breeze to cool the meadow setting. Apalloni winery is a treat for the eyes as well as the palete....and this couple put together an amazing team of vendors to pull together their day. Being that the bride is a designer - you can see why so many details came together perfectly. Adam Berger from Tabla catered the dinner. Salt and straw brought out their sweet ice cream cart. And of course Lavish put on the finishing touches with bright blooms in an eclectic gathering hand painted tins, bottles and milk jars.

Peaches and pickles and plums - oh my!

The veggies have finally arrived in full force and I have more green beans and cucumbers than I know what to do with - so my sister, niece, mother and grandmother came for the weekend and we canned and pickled and laughed for 2 days straight. So much fun!

Amelia Ann Photography

These beautiful images just came in from the supremely talented Amelia Ann. I just love the soft filtered light coming through the trees. And the mossy leaf littered forest floor gives me goose bumps - it's so romantic. What am I doing in the office - I need to get out for a tromp in the woods....
