Dare & Garrik shared an elegantly fresh day with their guests last fall for their “California Casual meets Old South” wedding in Napa.

Brides magazine has shared some some of the gorgeous details which were brought together by the always lovely Danielle from Brown Paper Design & from Nicole of The Green Ribbon Party Planning.  Their June/July print magazine is out now and they’re also currently featuring this online in Real Weddings.  Have a look and enjoy!  I will share some more lovely here soon…

Flower magazine put out a great spread on Kelle & Gregg’s wedding in Mendocino along with highlighting an image from this on the cover, too.  Thank you, Flower!

This wedding was previously published on 100 Layer Cake.  Special thanks for design and planning by Alison Events and florals by Natalie Bowen Designs.

A rained out wedding is heartbreaking.  That said, I think it made “Take Two” all the more special for Meika & Joe’s wedding.  Here is the beautiful, sunshine-filled Part Two to this outdoor wedding in Winters!

This wedding can also be seen on the print pages and online for the Premiere issue of California Brides magazine published by Modern Luxury.  More info and photos can also been seen on the well-loved wedding inspiration blog, Snippet & Ink.

Take One:  Some getting ready/details, Meika & Joe’s pre-ceremony portraits and then the raindrops started and kept going and going…
