Real Weddings: Jaeca + Matt

I just love October Weddings in Wine Country.  The vineyards look amazing, the air is crisp, and you can really play up the gorgeous Fall colors.  Jaeca & Matt agreed, and they chose to have their wedding in October at the Carneros Inn.  It was a stunning wedding, with one big surprise-- the weather!  The rain decided to attend the wedding that day, and we quickly re-adjusted their design to include a clear tent and a focus on the Carneros Inn's outdoor fireplace.  All in all, the wedding was so special and had a cozy, intimate feel.  The bride and groom were beautiful!

They decided on an green apple theme, based on the Apple Orchard at the Carneros Inn.  Their colors were Chocolate Brown, Burnt Orange & Apple Green.  My favorite thing about this wedding was the level of family involvement-- Jaeca's Mother and Aunt were so involved in the planning, and so absolutely wonderful.  Matt's children were also a significant part of the ceremony and wedding day.  You could see how close this family was, and feel their special connection throughout the whole event.

I loved this idea!  Instead of flowers, the flower girls had bubbles.  It was adorable! 

Listening to the rain fall while Jaeca & Matt said their vows was magical.

Their dining tables were named after their favorite restaurants, and their escort card envelopes had the restaurant's business card in it so guests knew where they were sitting.  So clever!

Delicious hors d'ouevres from the Carneros Inn catering staff.

The rain didn't get in the way of their special day!

First Dance

Tainted Love performed!  This was a huge surprise to their wedding party and guests!

The adorable flower girls were happy to dance to the 80's music.

Amazing cake from Jaeca's Aunt's bakery-- Goldilock Bake Shop.
