Jackie and Andrej had a stunning Triple S Ranch wedding in Napa. I loved the juxtaposition between the rustic venue and Jackie and Andrej’s classic sleek style and inspiration. The two blended beautifully in the most relaxed way.
Andrej and Jackie met in San Francisco. They both worked downtown in the financial district and mutual friends introduced them after work. They instantly hit it off and their friends noted that there was something different about them both after that day. They both kept talking about this new person they had just met – and everyone knew it was only a matter of time. One of their biggest commonalities was the fact that they both come from large families – they are both one of six (Jackie has 4 sisters and Andrej has 4 brothers!). Family is so important to both of them, so it was easy for them to connect on that.
One of my favorite aspects about them is that they have a westie – Finn! Westies are just the cutest (we have one too!) and they have such a personality – occasionally stubborn – occasionally sweet. It was so fun watching Finn be a part of all of the festivities and wander throughout the venue during the wedding weekend.
Jackie and Andrej worked to design an elegant, laid back wedding day. The design had an elevated feel but it still felt approachable. Jackie wore a sheath Alexandra Grecco gown that fit her flawlessly with a floor length veil that sat at the crown of her head. Andrej wore a navy suit with a black bowtie and white pocket square. Could these two be any more beautiful?! I love how Jackie’s bridesmaids wore neutral dresses in creams, champagne, and blush. Such a gorgeous combination for a stunning group of ladies! Of course, Finn dressed the part in his tuxedo collar.
The ceremony was held under a large oak tree and officiated by Andrej’s uncle. The couple exchanged personal vows and everyone erupted with applause when they finally were proclaimed husband and wife! They did it!
The dinner reception took place in a courtyard under bistro lights. Each table had a plethora of candles and modern bud vases that ran down the middle of the table. A neutral linen napkin sat knotted atop each plate and woven charger.
At the end of the evening, the couple cut into their cake and shared a first dance. All of the stress of wedding planning seemed to melt away as they twirled together in each other’s arms. It was such a special evening. They incorporated something new into their reception I had never seen before. Instead of a bouquet toss, Andrej stood in the center of the single ladies and held a hoop with long ribbons attached. Each girl took the end of a ribbon and Andrej began to slowly turn in the middle of the circle. Jackie had a pair of scissors and would cut one ribbon at a time, trying not to look at which girl was holding the other end. The last girl holding a ribbon is the lucky girl who is most likely to find their significant other next!
Jackie and Andrej, congratulations to you both! I’m so grateful that I was able to be a part of your celebration. You both worked together to create a remarkable weekend to celebrate your love. I hope we can connect again soon! Hugs to you both – and Finn!
So thankful to see this wedding featured over on Style Me Pretty!
