We have been waiting to share Laura + Raj’s wedding day at Silverado Resort & Spa, in Napa, California and as you scroll down I am sure it will be pretty obvious why : ) . The Edges Wed Photography did an incredible job documenting this gorgeous day, and we could not be more thrilled to have this wedding featured on the front page of Style Me Pretty today!

As some of you may know, WW&Co was started in Sonoma, CA so whenever we get an excuse to design a wedding back in CA Wine Country it is a total treat! It was the last Saturday in June and the weather couldn’t have been more summerlike. The temperature hit a high of around 85 degrees that afternoon, but we were prepared with guest parasols and fans that just added to the overall classic, elegant design of Laura + Raj’s big day.

Laura had a refined eye for design and cohesiveness could be noticed from the couple’s logo to her bridal style and beautiful classic gown.

Speaking of design… we had the privilege working with Louloudi Design who created the most amazing floral that complemented the Antibes Denim linen from La Tavola Linen. The lush white floral paired with the eclectic collection of blue and white ginger gars was such a beautiful touch. The ballroom was transformed into a space filled with elegance, delightful details, and love.

As guests heard from the maid of honor and best man, Laura + Raj’s love story is one that everyone could laugh, cry and feel so happy about.

And let’s just this couple came to party. We were in LOVE with Laura’s outfit change to this oh so wonderful sparkly number. 

And let’s not forget the video by NST Pictures of their day!! There is always something so special about live film.

Wishing Laura + Raj all the best as they come up on one year of marriage and welcoming a new baby girl into their lives!

We always love when we get to work at Maysara Winery, but when you have a couple like Chelsea and Marc, it makes the day feel magical.  These two could not have been more fun to work with and the details of their day were perfection!

The ceremony took place out on the lawn with the Momtazi Vineyard creating the perfect backdrop. Geranium Lake Flowers lined the aisle and ceremony backdrop with beautiful swags of eucalyptus.  Chelsea and her bridesmaids carried beautiful lush bouquets of cream and green that they put together themselves a few days before the wedding.

The ceremony itself was full of love and fun stories about how the couple reconnected at a dive restaurant over extremely greasy pizza.

Once the newlyweds shared their first kiss as a married couple, the party started!

Koi Fusion, PDX Sliders, and Maiale di Volo Woodfire Catering offered the most delicious food truck menus! The Waitstaff Team ensured that service was flawless.

The long farm tables were draped with eucalyptus, crystal vessels and candlelight. The beautiful place settings were marked with marble tiles.

The vintage accent pieces from Classic Vintage Rentals were gorgeous.

Check out their custom monogram!!

After dinner, the dance party commenced! DJ Zimmie kept the dance floor packed all night.

Pip’s Original Doughnuts joined the food truck party and served the guests a late night treat.

Chelsea and Marc's love for each other, their friends, and their family was felt by all and we were honored to be a part of the celebration.

Craig with Watertown Films did an amazing job!  Check out their highlight film.

During the very first meeting, it was apparent that this wedding was going to be a true celebration of love and family. Zoë and CJ’s special day was full of thoughtful touches and personal details that created an intimate and sentimental feeling felt by all that attended.

Zoë was a very hands-on bride with a stunning vision for the details of the day. She planned every detail exquistly. The vendors this couple selected created a phenomenally talented team that executed those details beautifully.

Zenith Vineyard in Salem, Oregon provided the perfect venue for the elegant alfresco affair that Zoë and CJ hoped for.

The beautiful palette of blush, peach, and berry helped to create the simple and romantic feel. The bride’s aunt and uncle own a flower farm where Zoë and her maids spent a day carefully cutting the flowers that would be used. Ali Briskey Designs took those flowers and created the most gorgeous arrangements. 

From the bride:
“Our favorite part of the day was hands-down the ceremony. My father built the 10 foot cross that was the focal point behind us at the ceremony, walked me down the aisle, and performed the ceremony. Our mothers were of course seated in the places of honor, CJ’s father opened the ceremony with a prayer, and all seven of our siblings & siblings-in-law stood with us as a part of the wedding party along with our closest friends. It was so meaningful to us to be so literally surrounded and supported by the people who mean the most to us in the world as we committed our lives to each other.”

Aren’t these the cutest flower girls!? What is even more special about these girls is that they are the daughters of Zoë’s cousins who were the flower girls at her parents’ wedding over 30 years ago.

For the reception, the elegant, fresh feel translated through white linens and dark wood chairs.  The floral arrangements added the perfect touch of color. 

The newlyweds were joined by their family and friends under the bistro lights to dine, dance, and be merry.  Andrew with John Ross Music and Productions made sure the dance floor was packed the entire night. 

From the Bride:
"Most of all though, the day was special not because of the details or the decor, but because we felt so surrounded by love. It was one of our priorities and criteria about our wedding that it be not just a celebration of our marriage, but a celebration of all the people attending who have played a huge role in our lives and our love story. And that is exactly how it played out, a day that felt so unique to us and our guests—down to the way CJ’s groomsmen knew I loved Christmas, so they convinced the DJ to play Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and everyone on the dance floor absolutely just had the best time dancing to it even if it was in the middle of a vineyard in August. Those are the things that we never could have planned, but were what made our day perfect."

We loved working with this couple and their families.  We loved this celebration of love.  We loved the vendor team. This was one for the books!
