Now for a dip in the Jacuzzi...Jacuzzi Family Vineyards that is!

What a rich and luscious palette for this late summer wedding in Sonoma. The couple chose Jacuzzi Family Vineyards for their beautiful destination wedding.

The bride carried an array of burgundy calla lilies, Merlot dahlias, burgundy orchids and velvety red roses, accented with berries and monkey tail.


The Bridesmaids bouquets mimicked the Bride's, but had the addition of champagne roses to pop off the backdrop of their burgundy dresses.

Another great shot of the happy bride.


The boutonnieres matched what the girls carried.


The entry table greeted guests with a wish tree and name cards among champagne petals.


The couple was married in the stunning barrel room amidst the olive trees and candles.

Full blooming red roses were submerged among twisted vines inside the tall centerpiece vases.


The tall centerpieces looked beautiful in the courtyard setting.

Waiting for the guests to come out of the Barrel Room.


The cake was a work of art by Fleur de Lisa Cakes.

Stealing a quiet moment alone by the light of the full moon.

I Heart Weddings!

When working on weddings, symbols of love can be found everywhere.

This gorgeous bridal bouquet has show stopping peonies, roses and freesia. The Stems were wrapped in a beautiful bridal handkerchief.


Texture was added in with rabbits foot, monkey tail and hypericum berries.

The Bridesmaid's bouquets added in a touch of dark purple to play off the chocolate brown accents. Each girl had a necklace with their initial attached to the wrapped handle. A cute gift from the bride.

The boutonnieres and corsages had plenty of interest and texture.

Rustic bottles and jars were used throughout the venue and added to the charm.

Fans and a card cage greeted the guests as they entered the ceremony area at Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma.

Roses and ornamental grasses graced the sides of the chairs.

Large urns were filled with free flowing, organic arrangements. These were later moved into the barn to decorate the lounge area.

Various mason jars, big and small were clustered together on the guest tables. No two were alike.

Each table had a short, medium and tall jar.

The completed look with the table numbers.

Jumping in...feet first!

What a fun group of friends! The girls "dive in" at this fab wedding held at a private estate in St. Helena.

The gorgeous bridal bouquet was a fragrant mix of garden roses, Vendella roses, and ranunculas to name a few.

The bridesmaids carried a smaller version of the Bride with the addition of fuchsia roses.

The couples beloved dog wore a vest adorned in solid white and ivory roses.

And here's the model now!


The wedding was held at a private residence and the ceremony area was shaded by beautiful trees and looked over a lake.

Silver buckets hung off garden hooks along the aisle and later decorated the cocktail pool area.

The stairs leading to the pool were flanked by 2 large urns full of color.

The pool had a large round ball of flowers with orchids spraying out of the top like a fountain. Alex from Quintana Events actually waded through the pool to place the arrangement! How's that for service!

The pool had dozens and dozens of sweet smelling gardenias floating around.

Beautiful cake baked by True Confections.

Beautiful white and green cubes for the long king's tables.

The couple planned many activities for their guests like playing croquet. Can you spot the croquet ball made of flowers?

Volleyball was set up on one of the lawn areas.

Even the poles of the volleyball net were decorated.

Chilling out by the pool! Guests were invited to bring overnight bags and enjoy the weekend with the couple.

What a lovely wedding...full of fun, family and friends!
