Michelle and Walter's Relaxed Week Day Wedding

3/21/2022

Michelle and Walter were the sweetest couple who met at UC Davis (just like Jennifer & Rick!) These college sweethearts had a day full of love surrounded by their closest family and friends. Their vibrant Fall color palette mixed with the lush greenery Park Winters has to offer, created the perfect ambiance to celebrate their union.

A Fall Wedding

Their crisp November wedding day turned out beautifully. It was bright and sunny, only adding to the joy the couple was beaming with themselves! For late November weddings, we always recommend starting the ceremony earlier to capture more light for photos, and to end the evening earlier before it gets too cold for comfort for your guests. Michelle and Walter certainly followed our advice and got some of the most amazing sunlit photos to look back on and cherish as a result! We especially love that it was a Monday wedding -- weekday weddings have the most laid back vibe, which is the perfect recipe for a stress-free, lovely day.

Amazing Vendor Team

The couple chose to hire a variety of our referred vendors who were beyond excited to make this day a dream. Strelitzia Flower Company created stunning florals to brighten their Fall wedding day. Phillip Alan Films and Valley Images Photography captured their day perfectly, not a moment left uncovered. Veronica Marshall, Veronica Gersalia, and Yesi Dominguez accentuated Michelle's natural beauty making her look like a true princess in her BHLDN gown. The couple and many of the guests stayed at Hotel Winters which is a fabulous location for hair & makeup and getting ready. Not only is it conveniently located near the beautiful Park Winters venue, it is located in the heart of downtown Winters which offers wine & cheese tasting, fabulous restaurants, a spa, and hiking along the creek.

A Personal Touch

To "tie" together Michelle and Walter's special day, hand-calligraphy place cards were tied with silk ribbon onto the napkins. Our team designed the couple's signage to match the place cards and other written elements throughout their wedding. Walter's aunt even handcrafted organic herbal healing salves as guest favors which were much needed during the cooler winter months. Another wedding marked as a success in our books, but like all others, would not have been accomplishable without the help of all of the amazing vendors, friends, and family involved!
