Oh how we love a good rehearsal dinner. Mostly one so pretty, so well captured we can almost feel the butterflies in the Bride’s stomach and the love in the air. This is just such a dinner – an al fresco affair hosted at one of the most scrumptious spots in Napa, Farmstead, under twinkling lights and surrounded by the most delicious decor (in every sense of the word). It’s long farm tables overflowing with the prettiest produce we ever did see in a garden that looks like it’s the setting for the sweetest of dreams. Basically, it’s rehearsal dinner perfection – and Viera Photographics was behind the scenes snapping up all the gorgeous moments so we could all devour it right here. Enjoy!
From Viera Photographics… Katie and Gordon were married in St. Helena, Napa Valley and the rehearsal dinner was held at the beautiful Farmstead Restaurant. When we arrived, we were blown away by the setting; long, family-style tables set amongst gardens of everything from fruit espaliers to herbs to the companion plantings of sunflowers. The centerpieces were all edibles, ranging from kale, to apples with floating candles. The food was served family style – the speeches were hilarious – the love was in the air. The night came to a beautiful close with the roasting of marshmallows and snuggling by the fire.
