WEEKLY WEDDING LOOK, VINEYARD STYLE, PART II

August 13, 2013

Warm afternoons shift into cool evenings as the sun sets over a Napa Valley vineyard.  Be inspired by the rich greens of grape vines and deep burgundies of Merlot as you plan a vineyard wedding.  Evoke the shades of irresistible wine: Bring deep purples and burgundies into watercolor-printed stationary and playful blooms in your bouquet.  Use cork-framed escort cards to guide guests to long wooden tables accented with bowls of purple artichokes.  Create your own table numbers by wrapping wine bottles with burlap and adding numbers with a little sparkle.  Then send your guests home with custom-made wine or provide baskets of soft scarves to warm your guests against Northern California’s evening chill.

WEEKLY WEDDING LOOK – VINEYARD STYLE, PART I

August 12, 2013

Growing grapes and mashing them into wine seems so simple, but there is a beauty and complexity to this ancient drink.  Rows of green vines and stacks of wine-stained barrels create a romantic setting for a late summer wedding.  Start with Winifred Bean’s Audrey gown: Luxurious silk crepe drapes elegantly over the shoulders and cinches at the waist evoking early 20th century screen siren sophistication.  Gather inspiration from the color of Merlot—a rich red on your cheeks is reflected in a deep burgundy on your nails.  Channel a Sonoma sunset with ruby-gemmed earrings framed in brushed gold.  Sip on sparkling wine as you wander the vineyard in deep red heels, and prepare for chilly Wine Country nights with a steel gray shawl to warm your shoulders.

WEEKLY WEDDING LOOK – BARNYARD BASH, PART I

July 22, 2013

Once simply a home for horses, barns have been reclaimed by brides as the perfect venue for tying the knot.  Start your country-inspired look withWinifred Bean’s Flounce gown, boasting gorgeous taffeta, a classic silhouette, and pockets for an added playful touch.  Walk down the aisle with a bouquet of delicate daisies and a brass bracelet embellished with ombré crystals.  After the ceremony, swap your veil for a gold and brass laurel wreath headband that pairs perfectly with your coral lipstick—the same shade as a country sunset.  And of course, no beautiful barnyard bash is complete without fancy footwear: kick up hay in unexpected Art Deco-inspired pale mint leather heels.
