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