Bucolic Bliss: A Springtime Wedding Brimming with Rustic Elegance
Lucy and Douglas found their slice of Tuscany nestled in the rolling hills of Los Gatos at Regale Winery, the perfect setting for their vision of a rustic and intimate wedding. With a desire for a laid-back, country garden atmosphere, their wedding planner transformed the venue into a ranch-style retreat that echoed the simplicity and charm of a bucolic life. Central to the celebration's aesthetic were natural elements like rattan and stones, which mingled seamlessly with delicate small floral prints, enhancing the venue's rustic appeal. The planners artfully turned the winery into a serene, country-style garden, creating an inviting space that felt both elegant and relaxed.
At Lucy and Douglas’s spring wedding, the menu crafted by Le Papillon was nothing short of spectacular. The celebration kicked off with an array of elegant hors d'oeuvres, featuring luxurious bites of lobster, duck, and king salmon that tantalized the taste buds. The first course was a delightful butternut squash soup sprinkled with crunchy pumpkin seed granola, perfectly capturing the essence of spring. The culinary highlight was the duet entrée: succulent roasted sea bass alongside a tender grilled medallion of filet mignon. Each dish was not only a feast for the palate but also a beautiful complement to the rustic, elegant theme of the day.
Lucy and Douglas’s wedding cake, crafted by Trizia Cake Artistry, was a stunning three-tiered design with a unique twist—the second tier was slightly shorter, creating a subtle, elegant effect. The cake featured sophisticated marbling and texture, adorned with large fondant waffle paper flower petals and delicate thin branches. Inside, the flavors were just as exquisite, with an Earl Grey tea filling and a refreshing hint of orange zest.
In a unique and elegant touch by the planner from Frigga Events, white stone slices served as place cards for the reception. Each guest's name was beautifully calligraphed onto these stones, adding a natural and sophisticated element to the table settings. This creative use of materials not only enhanced the rustic theme of the wedding but also gave guests a memorable keepsake from Lucy and Douglas's special day.
