A Sonoma Wedding

This wedding made me jealous, like want to start over and get married all over again. You couldn't put a pricetag on the gorgeous views and location. The wedding took place at Jacuzzi Vineyards in Sonoma, CA. All of the guests stayed at a hotel in Petaluma (about a 20 min drive to the vineyard). The bride and groom (my cousin and her husband) arranged for a shuttle to take guests to and from the wedding and hotel. On the shuttles they had a video playing of pictures of them. This is was one of most original ideas I have seen. It got everyone on the bus in wedding mode and walking down memory lane with Kassy and Ben's relationship.

We when arrived we were greeted by signs leading the way to the ceremony

This is where the ceremony took place, it was really pretty but hot!
The grapes were the backdrop during the ceremony and for many photo ops
Kassy and Ben got creative with their placecards. They were inserted into wine corks, but not just any wine corks. These corks were from their personal collection marked with the occasion that they drank the bottle of wine.

The reception was in the barrel room. The place was decorated perfectly. All the tables had these centerpieces that added height to the room. The table cloths were shimmery and added to the elegance.
The food was buffet style and was yummy! They had comfort foods such as pizza and pasta. In lieu of a traditional wedding cake, they had a tower of truffle cakes. The topper was two truffles one decorated for the bride and the other for the groom.

The wedding was executed perfectly. Guests were able to mingle around the courtyard and vineyard in a relaxed and loving atmosphere.
