chrissy and chris - ponte winery, temecula

chrissy and chris were married on a GORGEOUS day in february at the ponte winery in temecula...the sun was shining all day and the green buds on the grapevines were just starting to push through...we went with a "rustic glam" feel, incorporating shades of eggplant, plum, chocolate brown and wintery powder blue...







chrissy's bouquet was made up of all white peonies, gardenias, lilac, tulips and paperwhites, with accents of fresh rosemary and soft dusty miller foliage serving as the collar



we put our own touch on the existing ceremony structure by adding winding branches of curly willow and weaving in lemon leaf, olive branches and seeded eucalytpus...it smelled so good!
the bride found these lanterns online and we hung them from my shepherd's hooks..

bridesmaids bouquets were a combination of eggplant mini calas, plum tulips, lavender ranunculas, powder blue muscari and a collar of silvery dusty miller...

for half the centerpieces, we transferred the lanterns inside and accented them around the base with eggplant, plum and lavender theme flowers...

the other half of the tables were set with a wood box holding a chocolate manzanita branch decked with crystals and hanging candles in mason jars...

the box was then fleshed out with eggplant, plum and lavender theme flowers - and of course dusty miller!  it was such a soft, wintery accent for the day...

the cake was set on a bed of moss and surrounded by lit mason jars...


congratulations chris and chrissy!!!  it was so fun working with you and i hope you are enjoying married life!  plus a big thank you to harvard photography for sharing your images and to molly for capturing those extra detail shots of the day  :)
