Private Estate Tour | An Introduction to our Collection of Private Estates

Wow that was one amazing wedding season!! As we reminisce all the events we had the pleasure of planning and designing this past Summer, we wanted to introduce you to our gorgeous collection of private estates. One of the greatest parts of a private estate wedding or event is the completely unique environment it creates for both the couple and the guests. No stuffy ballroom or standard cookie cutter details, instead a private estate provides a completely unexpected atmosphere. The guests have no idea what to expect before they arrive so you have an instant moment of drama as they walk through the gates and arrive at your gorgeous celebration. Plus, the backdrop of the estate combined with the mountains and the lake is breathtaking! While each property has it's own shape of a lawn, collection of trees and plants, or sometimes even a little slope, we have worked with every tree stump, every odd shape, and every obstacle to ensure an alluring and very comfortable space for both your down to earth friends as well as your more sophisticated guests that may be expecting the comforts and amenities of a ballroom environment. No matter what the weather forecast or the terrain, we always consider every ounce of comfort and need the guests may crave. In addition, we create custom scaled floor plans of the event space. This becomes quite a huge benefit to our clients as they need to know how much space each element (the tent, the tables, the dance floor, etc) will require and how much space the property provides for everything they want to have at their celebration. So without further ado, here is a sneak peak of our properties we will be introducing you to over the next couple weeks!!

Napa Weekend Get Away!

It was time to get our hands on the latest and greatest 2013 linens from our beloved linen company, La Tavola, and that meant a quick road trip down to wine wonderland, otherwise known as Napa Valley - and oh what a weekend we had! First stop was a quick snack for oysters and bubbles at the Oxbow Market....so yummy! Then we were off to La Tavola. Their 2013 linens are beyond amazing - from sequins, to lace, bright colors to pastels, they have everything a wedding planner could ever dream into reality. Inspiration, design concepts, and client ideas were all flowing through our minds as we wafted from one gorgeous inspirational table to the next. Have I mentioned they have one of the most stunning show rooms in existence? Linens were lining the walls in perfect order, champagne was flowing in the cutest little cans around, and there was a dessert bar to-die-for! Napa is so gorgeous this time of year, it's in full Spring swing, and it's making us so excited for this upcoming Summer!

Behind the Scenes | Mike and Vanessa's Lakefront Soiree

We are so excited to show you a little sneak peak of Mike and Vanessa's wedding from this Summer! Their wedding took place at Vanessa's parents' beautiful lakefront estate. From the blush & cream toned colors to the wicker and wood accents, their wedding was simply perfect!  

Vanessa walked down their family's pier and they were married under a beautiful chandelier-adorned pine tree.

After the ceremony, guests indulged in Season'd's delectable appetizers (formerly Moody's Catering) & signature cocktails while enjoying the view from the deck. In the midst of cocktail hour a large group of kayakers paddled by and wished Mike and Vanessa Best Wishes!

Dinner was under a beautiful clear tent dressed up with pewter draping, market lights, and gorgeous blush toned linens. It always takes a big group effort to set-up the tent and design all the details - but the end result is breathtaking!

Be sure to check back tomorrow - we have been featured on one of our favorite blogs and we can't wait to share all the pretty details with you! You can also view our gallery for more pics of this gorgeous wedding!
