Real Wedding by Jen Fariello & Jennifer Carroll, II
I am loving today’s featured wedding, sent to me by photographer Jen Fariello, and am excited to share even more pictures and details…
From Jennifer Carroll (the mastermind behind this gorgeous wedding)…
Tatiana Sainati were married on Sunday, July 6, 2008. This was a Sunday wedding which was important to Tatiana as an Italian tradition states that only widows or gals marrying for the second time marry on Saturdays. The wedding & reception were held at Veritas Vineyards in Afton, Virginia.
The bride loves poetry so there were poetic elements woven throughout the entire wedding - including a poem included in the invitation. The guests tables were named after poets and the program included a few favorites too.
The color palette was a soft lavender, green and ivory combination. This was repeated everywhere with lots of extra touches of whimsy and sweetness. From the ribboned chair signs, place cards hanging from Manzenita trees, packets of white eco-fetti and lavender to the linens and most of all the wedding cake!
A wonderful harpist provided the musical backdrop for the ceremony & cocktail hour. The reception room has soaring ceilings so to create a more intimate feeling for this 70 person wedding reception. A gazebo was installed to house the cake and create a focal point for the room. The use of square and a long estate table also added to the visual interest. The greenery with tiny white lights, candles everywhere and gorgeous floral arrangements made the transformation of the ballroom in to a fairy land complete! An extra sweet treat included fine Italian Pastries served with coffee near the end of the evening.
Stay tuned for a list of vendors involved with this beautiful wedding and some additional pictures!

Gorgeous wedding! We actually looked at Veritas as a possible site for our wedding - it’s fantastic! Any idea where they got the beautiful hanging votivess?
Thank you!
Comment by Tatiana on 24 July 2008:
Hi! I’m the bride (above). I’m glad you all love the wedding so much; we did too!
The dress was “Adelaide” by Melissa Sweet. I purchased it through Saks Fifth Avenue in Richmond, VA.

The flowing fabric from the gazebo is very nice. This is the kind of look that I want. Lots of flowing fabric.

Hi, this is Jennifer Carroll, the planner/designer. Thank you again to Abby & Michelle at Style Me Pretty for featuring this wedding! I enjoyed every minute of planning with Tatiana and to share this with the readers of Style Me Pretty is a treat! I wanted to quickly post that the linens are from Wildflower Linens in Los Angeles.

Hi, I’m hoping to do very similar floral arrangements for my wedding next summer and was curious who the florist was for this wedding? Or where to find similar pedestal bowls like you see here. Thanks.
