Wedding Ideas: California Wedding

Napa Valley Wedding at Auberge Du Soleil by Michèle Waite – Allison and Dan

February 11, 2013 | editorial team

Allison and Dan love California almost as much as they love each other, so they held their stunning wedding in Napa Valley at Auberge du Soleil - a magical spot with incredible views, romantic spaces, and the perfect blend of rustic elegance. Nancy Liu Chin's beautiful floral designs thoughtfully complemented the venue in every way, and photographer Michèle M. Waite perfectly captured every moment. One detail I particularly love? Allison's wedding day seamstress she had on hand to ensure the fashion was flawless. Heidi Johnson of Wedding De-Tailor ensured that every strap was hidden, every rumple was straightened, and not a speck of dust or lint was in sight. Love this brilliant idea!

Add in the romantic images captured by Melissa Musgrove, and you have this Santa Barbara wedding, which we're completely crazy for.

Mike Larson has a dream job...not only does he photograph beautiful weddings, but he specializes in weddings held at spectacular private estates and vineyards. Mike particularly loves these historic venues filled with character, history, and rustic elegance. Tatum and Dane's “cape cod” style wedding is the perfect example of a Mike Larson wedding!

Roselie and Ryan's wedding day at beautiful Villa Contempo in Orange, California, was as sunny and romantic as can be! I love the crisp, happy, yellow and white color palette they chose. It beautifully complemented Villa Contempo.

Creative, Elegant Real Wedding from Jules Bianchi Photography – Denise and Patrick

January 11, 2013 | editorial team

We just love seeing couples put their own spin on their wedding day, and everytime a wedding filled with creative twists pops into our inbox, we're just thrilled! Denise and Patrick are the perfect example. From their hexagon design motif that was both elegant and representative of several shared interests, to the interactive ceremony for their beloved guests, it was a day they describe as "geek chic", but we describe as "wedding perfection"!

Chic, Rustic Wedding at Maravilla Gardens – Christine Bentley Photography

January 10, 2013 | editorial team

Jen and Chris's gorgeous rustic wedding day was filled with sunshine, beautiful vistas, rustic chic decor, and poignant moments. The couple planned touches that were both stylish and full of special meaning - from the robes made by Chris's grandmother, to thoughtful remembrances that made Jen feel like her late mother was right there with her. The sunny yellow and gray color palette was the perfect compliment to Maravilla Gardens, and Christine Bentley beautifully captured it all!

Editor's Note: Hylah and Justin's soft, pretty, Spanish influenced wedding simply couldn't be any lovelier.
