Cache Creek Lavender Farm

9/10/2018

We love everything lavender! Lavender bouquets, lavender sachets, lavender lemonade.... Cache Creek Lavender Farm offers a unique venue for weddings and elopements in idyllic Rumsey, in the Capay Valley.

When the flowers are in bloom from late May through July, the rows of lavender
are a backdrop of vibrant color suited for an elopement or intimate wedding. Our team loves working with couples to craft lavender details and coordinate a team of vendors that results in a blissful celebration!

The venue includes grapevines, a seasonal creek, mountains in the background, a small house for getting ready, a real greenhouse for the bar, lavender products for guest favors, and rows and rows of different lavender varieties! Ceremonies may be in front of the rows of lavender, or the couple may stand within the rows. Nearby, the Rumsey grange is available for couples who prefer an indoor option for dancing, along with a mobile pizza oven!

The lavender farm is available Mar-Oct and is beautiful, even when the lavender is not in bloom. It is surrounded by walnut farms and is a short distance from Cache Creek Casino and Capay Valley Vineyards. The Lavender Festival each June is not to be missed! For more information and to book: www.cachecreeklavender.com.

Candace + Mark at Cavallo Point in San Francisco

8/27/2018

There is nothing quite like a wedding in San Francisco. The morning begins with fog and we wait to see what happens...will it be misty and cool? Windy and bright?

Candace and Mark's wedding was sheer perfection, with the sun peeking out and the mists settling in the distance. There is a feeling of magnificence when one stands on the headlands with the Golden Gate Bridge and bay in the background.

Candace and Mark truly had a ceremony that was filled with love, joy and intention. We could have been anywhere in the world and their vows would still be felt with the same intensity and emotions -- but, it did help that we were surrounded by the most glorious landscape with the most perfect weather. It was idyllic and vibrant, and perfectly planned by Hitched with Haley.

What a treat to officiate this special couple's magnificent wedding day above the bay!

Michelle + Chas at Harvest Inn in St. Helena

Michelle and Chas flew in with 8 of their close family members from Virginia for a destination wedding in Napa Valley. They spent the week exploring the wine country and ended with a trip to Yosemite!

Planning with us for over a year, the couple envisioned a ceremony with vines in the background, a tea ceremony honoring their parents, and a relaxing lunch reception. The parents secretly planned a Polish tradition during the reception where the bride and groom first eat bread with salt, and then are given the choice of drinking a clear liquid in a shot glass -- they must choose which glass to drink and then quickly figure out if it was water or Vodka! The person who ends up drinking the Vodka will be the predominant decision-maker in the marriage. The couple skipped the final part of the tradition which is to throw the glasses, hoping that they will break as a sign of good fortune!

The couple told us that the wedding day was beyond their expectations, and we were thrilled to create an exceptional experience for them. From the guitar music to the customized ceremony, dying silk ribbon for the bouquet to setting up the Polish rituals, our team loved every moment of this couple's joyful day.

Ingrid + Eric at Villa De Nardi in Winters

The dreamiest wedding happened last Autumn at Villa De Nardi in Winters. Ingrid and Eric invited their closest family and friends for an intimate ceremony and reception.

Homemade ginger jams were lovingly crafted by the bride as favors. Our team designed the Autumn-themed tablescape with a mix of farm tables, La Tavola Arthur and Tuscany linens, vintage amber glassware, and luscious florals from Bloom & Vine. Batter Up Cakery created the sweetest little cake and delicious cobblers and pies. Gesche's Gourmet worked with the couple on a custom Moroccan menu.

Guitar music, a surprise chocolate turkey presentation (representing when and how they met at UC Davis), and at the end, a circle of friends chatting around the firepit, the couple's wedding was full of joy and connections. Ingrid and Eric's wedding is currently featured on The Bride Link!

Summerland at Park Winters

Summerland at Park Winters was a day filled with music, food & laughter! Making connections between Instagram influencers and local businesses, the event was a magical day for laying by the pool, wine tasting, photos and feasting.

Event planners were invited to create summer-themed vignettes for guests to relax and experience. Tan Weddings & Events designed a bohemian space that included musical instruments, iced chai tea blend making, Tunisian crocheting demo, and yarn spinning! Some guests relaxed in the shade to chat, while others picked up a tambourine, mixed up some chai spices, and took photos.

Every event at Park Winters is a dream. Thank you to the fabulous vendors who made our vignette vision blossom into reality. We can't wait for Summerland 2019!

Brandy and Ivan's destination wedding was the perfect adventure for the couple and their guests who hailed from cities all over the country. Eden Vale Inn was idyllic and peaceful, and the wedding day had just a hint of rain for good luck!

The most luscious cake and florals, along with a meaningful ceremony, joyous toast, guitar music, and a boat trip on the pond was a wedding day to remember!

We are grateful to have met these two as they head to their next adventure in the military, and we are especially thankful for their kind words.

"Thank you for your time and attention in arranging a powerful, meaningful, and memorable event for Brandy and me. Your simple, straight words before the ceremony concerning my eyes centering on Brandy were very valuable. From the moment we met in the front driveway, I felt calm and cared for thanks to your genuine and warm demeanor and strong, organized presence. I am very thankful for Brandy finding your services and will be forever thankful for your support, guidance, and authority within the event to make the celebration very special. -- Ivan"

"Thank you so much Jennifer! You all did such a beautiful job with the decor and coordination! Thank you for your attention to detail - everything about the event completely exceeded our expectations! Your warm and helpful nature really helped to make the day extra special! -- Brandy"

Sometimes, we have the great fortune of being a part of a wedding day on the design end. The bride had a vision of soft, airy, pale blue-gray silk in her wedding. From the silk ribbons for the florals, to the silk chiffon table runners, our team enjoyed dyeing lovely textiles with berries and botanicals to enhance the overall look and feel of this sublime Napa wedding.

Details Make The Difference

Wedding rings...bridal dress...boutonnieres...linens...dessert -- all of these little details make the difference when it comes to creating your unique wedding style. Having a team of creatives who will execute the planning, design and styling on your special day is the key to seeing your vision come to life.

One of our favorite weddings last year was at The Maples in Woodland. The couple pictured lush greenery with elegant white florals, rustic farm tables, amazing food, and delicious doughnuts, with a nod towards their love of board games thrown into the mix! A collaboration of artistic minds created the details for this wedding that made the day a treasured memory for the couple, their loving families, and their joyful guests.

What kinds of details will you include in your wedding?
