Monet Inspired Elopement at Sunstone Villa

You won’t believe all the beauty that one gorgeous dress can inspire. A floral Monique Lhuillier gown served as the starting point for this Sunstone Villa elopement, filled with delicate hues and darling details from Embark Event Design. Continuing the printed floral theme, Lumaca Paper designed a custom and sustainably sourced invitation suite that perfectly complimented the locally sourced welcome baskets that greeted guests upon arrival. Whimsical greens and garden roses, designed by Noonan’s Wine Country Designs, brought the reception dinner in the olive groves to life. The love-filled day was magically captured by Ashley Ludaescher Photography. See all the romance, fashion, and fun in the full gallery.





From Embark Event DesignThis timeless inspiration is full of garden influenced blooms, stunning bridal fashion, pops of soft hues, tons of texture, an authentic loving couple, and the most iconic location – all captured perfectly on film by Ashley Ludaescher Photography.





We centered this design around our bride’s gorgeous Monique Lhuillier floral gown. With a classic a-line shape and voluminous sleeves, this dress has many classic elements that allows for the floral fabric to remain timeless.





Fresh blooms full of texture added depth to the design, using soft colors to compliment the many tones throughout the day – from our bridal bouquet, overflowing with pops of soft mauve, blue, and lavender hues to blooming tablescapes, set for an intimate dinner among the olive groves.
