This Napa Valley Garden Elopement Is Everything We Love About Weddings

Get ready for a garden elopement that will take your breath away. Jess and Beau originally planned a large wedding, but Covid-19 led them to change their plans. In the time of two months, with the help of Madix And Co they transformed their 150 person wedding plans into those of an intimate affair for 10. Amanda Vidmar Design created a stunning bouquet of roses, dahlias, bleached bougainvillea, bleached peacock feathers, and dried grasses.

From … Jess and Beau had originally planned a 150-person summer wedding in Napa Valley, California until Covid-19 led them to reschedule. It was really important to the bride that her grandfather was at her wedding, so with the help of their planner, Kaella at Madix & Co., they did everything they could to make that happen, including transforming their large celebration into an intimate 10-person micro-wedding in under 2 months.





Jess found her original dress in New York City but wasn’t able to go to her fittings because of travel restrictions. Since she wouldn’t be able to get her dress in time, she found a new gown a month before the wedding at Kinsley James Couture Bridal; a simple yet elegant silk cotton dress designed by Rita Vinieris, with a low back, spaghetti straps, and a sweeping train that she paired with a 14-foot long veil.





They had their ceremony in the sunken garden and followed it with light bites, including artisanal cheeses, fruits, and nuts catered by Paula LeDuc. Their cake was a single-tiered carrot-cake with vanilla buttercream frosting, topped with fresh figs.
