I am unbashedly obsessed with a modern rustic wedding (...and this ridiculously amazing antler chandelier?!) So when I got a glimpse into Brienne and Andrew's wedding celebration designed and coordinated by Alicia K Designs, I was 100% smitten.

I'm not sure where to even begin as this celebration was in overdrive with charming details in the most perfect way. And wine country as the back drop?! Swoon. I love that Brienne and Andrew celebrated their love in such a big, beautiful way and it was so wonderfully captured by Kate Webber Photography.

And a bride after my own heart with words of advice..."Don't sweat the small stuff. Party like a rock star and enjoy every. single. moment."

I am a pillow fanatic, and when I saw this one from Betsy Jarvis Urban Textiles on Etsy, it reminded me of my favorite wedding gift  I received nearly 19 years ago! It was a pillow from my sister very similar to this that said "Happily Ever After." Proof of longevity for a pillow with perfect words.

So happy to have found this...truly, madly, deeply.

Cheers!

What a beautiful day in the Alexander Valley and the most adorable couple!

Jennifer and Chris had a truly picturesque setting for their wedding on the grounds of the breathtaking deLorimier Winery. From the giant oak tree overseeing the ceremony to the luscious winery lawns for dinner and dancing. What a fun celebration of love!

And I am so excited to share the details of this charming family affair captured perfectly by CinZo Photography.

 

And what a talented family...

Jen's brother played music while the guests arrived and her cousin sang the song for the first dance. Jen's aunt wonderfully arranged all of the flowers from Vine Hill Farms. And the bride herself is an amazing pastry chef at The Lodge at Torrey Pines and created all of the heavenly cakes and cookies!

{My youngest brother has a super cute little Datsun roadster that he decided (as a wedding gift) he would get up and running, polish it up and drive me to the altar in it. The time we shared in the car together was really special and helped calm my nerves right before the ceremony.}

{Since our wedding was a destination location for many of our guests, we wanted to show off some of the great local things they could find around like using Flying Goat Coffee to be enjoyed with the wedding cake, great cheeses from California for our cocktail hour and the fish caught right from Bodega Bay for entrees and of course, wine from the picturesque Alexander Valley.}

I  these champagne cages shaped into mini chairs to hold the place cards!

 

 

Jen and Chris made everyone homemade organic jelly with a variety of fruit from the San Diego farmer's market.

I am in love with all of the mini food options out there...and pies are at the top of my list!

I am a hard-core cake fan but the comfort of a pie seems to make weddings even more personal. 

...and the varieties are endless!

Undeniable cute (especially with the flavor flags and fun shapes) and there are my new obsession. Just hoping I don't make the cupcakes too jealous?!?!
