Think modern Jane Austen vibes with a muted color scheme of blush pink, sage and gold. Trust us when we say the full gallery is a total must-see – all taken by Ether & Smith!
From Ether & Smith… Inspired by Jane Austen and English gardens (and the show, Bridgerton!), Candice of Milk Events designed an editorial that embodied pastel tones and old-world charm at Chateau St. Jean Winery. Set in wine country of Kenwood, CA which is the heart of Sonoma County, this editorial brings a charming European estate during Spring to Sunny California.
Lush gardens and overgrown ivy was the perfect setting for an intimate getaway and great alternative for couples changing venues from Europe to something state-side! A beautiful nook with arched windows was the setting for the ceremony. The steps leading to where the couple would exchange vows are adorned with lush greenery, and the bride wearing the most romantic old-world gown with long elegant sleeves stands gracefully at the top.
The cocktail area where guests and the couple enjoys mingling is in the garden maze. Tall hedges surround the area, with trees providing shade, and grassy lawns to picnic, lounge, and mingle on. Guests are then ushered to another intimate alcove. Thick dense ivy hugging the walls makes guests feel like they’re walking into a secret garden. A table with a lively yet soft shade of green linen, pastel florals, pops of lilac, candles, and fresh pears await them. After dining with their favorite people, the couple cuts the wedding cake decorated with delicately pressed flowers and ends the night dancing under the starry sky.
