British Twist on a Wine Country Wedding

Wesley and Carissa first contacted me via the internet in April 2009 from London, after many phone calls and emails they planned their trip to Napa Valley to scout locations for their wedding and chose the Harvest Inn in St Helena a picturesque countryside retreat among the grapevines. After 14 months of planning from overseas they were wed on a beautiful June day in Napa Valley.  It was an English garden themed wedding filled with all things british including croquet on the lawn for the guests during the cocktail reception, Coldplay by the Eloquence String quartet and amazing hats that the ladies wore with style. They are not only a very handsome couple but their thoughtful vows that they personally recited at the ceremony were brilliant and filled their guests with teary eyes and laughter.  Cheers to a very amazing future you two! It was a true pleasure to work with you on such a special day!  Credits: Elaine Bell Catering, Wendy Maclaurin Richardson Photography, wmrphoto.com.

Sonoma Golf Club Wedding

Christine and Buck were married on May 1 at the Sonoma Golf Club. They are the sweetest couple and Christine the bride radiated with happiness on her wedding day! They had a flamenco guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail reception and boogied to Evermusic Group (5 piece band)....after a 4 course dinner catered by the Fairmont. I just adored Christine's headpiece, the perfect blend of elegance and glamour! Congratulations and wishing you a lifetime of happiness and good health and wealth!

Current Obsession- Poms

I Heart Poms and I can't get enough, so much that I even ordered some for my son's nursery! It could be a cool idea for a bridal shower and even a rehearsal dinner!  Fun with a touch of whimsy when done right! Credit: Martha Stewart ( but of course), I heard Pom Love on Etsy is the best!
