Wine Country weddings hold a very special place in our hearts. (There’s a reason why we also chose it as the location for our wedding!) It’s always so warm, colorful and inviting. Whitney and Mike’s wedding was not only in the heart of the Wine Country, but it was also held at a very special place – the Vine Hill House in Sebastopol.
Whitney did a fabulous job planning the wedding and bringing all the bits and pieces together. Everything was perfect though and through – from the wedding color palette which was chosen so it doesn’t interfere with the gorgeous landscape, to flip flops for the ladies and personalized wedding welcome bags. The Vine Hill House is surrounded by apple orchards, so Whitney and Mike had a couple of 3D apple tree models made with hanging apples as the escort cards.
This celebration truly had the essence of a Wine Country wedding – it was full of love, relaxed and warm, with lots of wine, yummy food and good friends. Here are our favorites from their day:
I was obsessed with the garden at the Vine Hill House – it was well-groomed, lush, and covered in pink hydrangeas, lavender and apple trees:
The final preparations before Whitney saw her groom for the first time:
Cute shoes and beautiful flowers are truly my weaknesses. I think I’m addicted, but who wouldn’t be?
Mike was wearing his grandfather’s cufflinks and pin, such awesome personal touches!
We love, love, love “First Looks”! Whitney and Mike’s first look was one of the most beautiful and emotional ones I’ve seen and even the photographers got all teared-eyed behind the cameras:
The ceremony details were super cute and everything around was covered in yellow and white rose petals!
More details! I just couldn’t stay away from them:
The incredible view from the dinner reception area:
We sneaked out with the bride and groom from the reception for a few minutes during the sunset. Whitney was very excited about the portraits and up for anything, so when we carefully suggested the idea of sitting down right in the middle of the vineyard she didn’t hesitate for a second! Love the resulting images:
Whitney and Mike: thank you guys for being so awesome, inviting us to be a part of your beautiful wedding, and giving us the freedom to be creative. Can’t wait for you to see your gorgeous wedding albums!
