A Blue and White California Vineyard Dream Ending In an Epic Party

From the bride: Our theme for the wedding was a French garden party. We loved the idea of overflowing florals, patterns & greenery. We knew Grindstone was the perfect setting as the cypress trees that lined the park immediately gave us the "French" aesthetic and knew our incredible florist Lisa Claire Hunter, could turn it into an overflowing garden. In addition to beautiful florals, we wanted our wedding to be fun, leaving an impression on guests to look back and remember how much fun they had. We had guests traveling from all over the country & world so it meant a lot to us that they knew how special they were to us!

From the bride: We had plans to go to the Morgan Wallen concert with our friends and parents. Prior to meeting our friends; Jared, our parents and I met downtown for drinks. We would often frequent Hotel Winters so when Jared suggested we head there it wasn't on my radar that he could be proposing. He led me to the water fountain in the courtyard where he got down on one knee. It was so special that our parents got to be apart of the proposal. From there we headed to the concert with our friends & family and celebrated all night!

I wore a Martina Liana dress and detachable satin overlay skirt from Bride to Be Couture.

My bridesmaids wore a variety of different styles & textured dresses in dusty blue. I wanted them to feel confident in their dress. We added wicker flower purses to give the garden party feel.

Our incredible caterers, Circa 53 catered a variety of heirloom vegetables, beet salad, salmon and tri tip. Arnold Palmers & Blackberry Margaritas were served as refreshments.

Lisa Claire Hunter brought all our visions to life. From the 50 ft aisle of florals to the overhead trellis that hung above the dining area she made all our floral dreams come true! We incorporated chinoiserie vases, garden trellis' and monogrammed touches throughout the dining tables.

Our cake was a 4 tier chocolate cake with white buttercream frosting designed and baked by Caked by Dom. It was styled with beautiful florals.

Hallees father designed & built the dance floor and bars. It became a labor of love where the whole family would meet on Sundays to help build. To incorporate the grooms love for golf, we had custom golf tees made that were used for garnishes on cocktails. Friends from all over the country and world flew in the celebrate with us - New York, Michigan, Texas, Oregon, Florida, England, Germany & Australia.
