Lauren and Brian had such a beautiful fall Annadel Estate Winery wedding this past October. The weather was perfect – crisp and sunny. The color palette was fresh and festive with jewel tones and pastels flowing together seamlessly. The whole event felt so calm as everything came together exactly as planned. Lauren and Brian communicated so well with their vendors – after they discussed their hopes for their wedding vision – they let go of all of the little details and let the professionals execute – and it truly made such a difference for a relaxed wedding day.

Lauren got ready on the Annadel Estate property. I love the scene with Lauren’s stunning Alexandra Grecco gown on the white bodice next to the grand full length mirror. Lauren’s mom helped her step into her gown, the skirt flowing like water. Lauren’s mother-in-law helped put on a vintage ring, honoring Brian’s late grandmother. Lauren’s sister helped put on her fabulous Bella Belle shoes, complete with ankle bows. It was a morning filled with strong women and so much support.

Brian and Lauren shared a first look in the driveway of Annadel Estate. It was amazing to sense the tension melt from their bodies as they embraced each other filled with smiles. Shortly after, their intimate wedding party joined us for some portraits. Lauren’s sister wearing a burgundy silk gown, and Brian’s best man in a black suit.

The wedding ceremony was held in the ancient ruins on the Annadel property. A sheer drape hung behind the circular arch dripping in flowers. The ceremony was short and sweet as Lauren and Brian exchanged vows and looked out upon all of those people in their lives that helped them get to this point.

After the ceremony, guests transitioned through the sheer drape as they were transported into the cocktail hour space. Custom cocktails and appetizers were passed as Lauren and Brian mingled with guests and celebrated. The reception was held on the expansive lawn. The darker tones of the chairs elevated the design to look sophisticated and welcoming. Each lush centerpiece was thoughtfully created by the talented Aimee Lomeli Designs.

After a family-style meal was shared with friends and family, guests transitioned back to the ruins to dance the night away. At the end of the celebration, Lauren and Brian exited in a vintage white convertible – waving farewell to family and friends.

Brian and Lauren, we loved working with you! Thank you for being so thoughtful, gracious and kind. You two are so great together! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and hope we get to see you again!
