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.

| 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! |
