Happy Monday everyone! Today, I have a sneak peek of Ashley and Nick’s super intimate destination wedding held in the wonderfulness that is Sonoma! Both sides of the family flew out for this special affair (including Ashley’s 94 year old great grandmother!) to take in our lovely wine country glow- such a special way to celebrate with your 25 guests.

Ashley wore the fabulous Alvina Valenta with creamy Badgley Mischka shoes. The brooch on her bouquet has been in the family for over 100 years. Love the history that was a part of the day. Her lovely bridesmaids wore plum and fuchsia Alfred Sung.

It’s not often that I have the opportunity to take a group portrait of the entire guest list! Super sweet moment! A dinner celebration continued in the wine cave with fresh, local foods. Ashley and Nick’s family hosted a reception back home for the family and friends that could not make it out.
