Classic Folktale Winery Wedding

Margeaux & Bowman are the cutest southern couple you have ever met! They met in college and had the most adorable love story. Pairing Margeaux, and her impeccable aesthetic, with the right vendor team was crucial in the planning process. We curated a day that felt very much them, and it paired perfectly with the French Chateau inspired Folktale Winery venue in Carmel Valley. The intimate Vineyard house is one of my favorite venues for smaller scale guest lists, seating 80 people perfectly on the patio.

The bride wore a tulle shrug for her ceremony to accompany her strapless gown. 

Our seating chart fountain was the focal point of cocktail area. We collaborated with Max Gill to build this on site. 

we planned to match our cake design to the couple's family heirlooms in sterling silver. 

We love to work at Folktale Winery, with the diverse food and wine program, and the endless photo areas being a few of our favorite reasons. This venue also makes a perfect welcome party or rehearsal location.

Winery Wedding by Jonathan Ivy Photography

This is one of the best venues I have seen in a long time. I am talking totally-would-get-married-here great. Brick, winery and reclaimed wood mixed with those lace textures on her dress created a romantic and gorgeous day. And it all starts with this absolutely breathtaking shot of the bride by Jonathan Ivy Photography.

{Real Wedding} Ryan and Liz: Ceremony

This ceremony was so amazing. The lighting, the breeze, the trees and flowers; the setting was perfect. The ceremony was performed by a family friend and was completely tailored to fit their style and their vows.

{Real Wedding} Liz and Ryan: First Look

Liz and Ryan have become two of my favorite people. Their relationship is very solid and such an example of what a marriage really should be. I love them to death and their wedding day really was just as amazing as it all looks. The romantic setting of the venue was the perfect place for them to start crafting this gorgeous wedding day.

Of course they had Bronx and Sarge there (their doggies!)

I really have never seen such an amazing first look. The photographs really show the excitement, love and emotion of it all. Obviously I wasn't there for this part, but we were on the balcony of the venue watching and crying during the whole thing!

{Real Wedding} Ryan and Liz: Getting Ready

Over 3 months later, and I finally got this posted! No doubt you have seen this wedding by now. It was first featured on Style Me Pretty, The Knotty Bride, Hi-Fi Weddings, Love and Lavender, and I think there were a few more than that. Thank you all so much for featuring Ryan and Liz's wedding! It is so much fun to see it constantly popping up all over the place. After looking through over 900 photos of the day, I have chosen a batch that will give a bit more of an insight into their amazing day.

All photos were taking by the unbelievably incredible Jason + Anna Photography. And let me tell you, they really were that incredible. I swear Anna is the MacGyver of weddings. It all started when she helped one of the bridesmaids put on faux eyelashes, then by having a perfect color cardigan for a photo we were doing, and lastly, she was able to help us work out a last minute secret surprise for Liz and Ryan. On top of all that, they were so nice and amazing, and are now doing both mine and Melissa's wedding as well! So, we obviously highly recommend these amazing artists!

So here we go with this rustic and romantic Livermore winery wedding!

Getting ready is definitely one of my favorite photo opportunities as far as weddings are concerned. And this was definitely a fun time for all of us!

Happy Wedding Wednesday to everyone! This week is all about inspired style, (and let me just tell you, next week we have some great things to talk about!) We are going to continue on this Monday with the winery style. Taking the natural colors of the scene, winery weddings have a sense of romance and organic beauty.  PS: I want those burlap bottles SO bad!
