Real Wedding: Desiree and Ann

April 7th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 34 comments

We don’t feature many same sex weddings on Style Me Pretty…they simply don’t come across our desk very often. But, since our focus is on all things beautiful, any wedding is welcome as long as it’s gorgeous! So, when Sylvie Gil sent us today’s featured affair…I swooned.

From Sylvie…

Desiree and Ann had a beautiful wedding at Barndiva in Healdsburg. Desiree wore a Monique Lhuillier dress and Ann wore a Vera Wang. After several years together, they were both very ready for a commitment amongst their family and friends. The event was filled with sublime emotion and style.

So much more on the way!

    I am a big advocate of same sex mariage and also am an employee of Barndiva Restaurant. This wedding was one of the most moving that we've had.
    During the ceremony one of our walnut trees comicly dropped a nice ripe walnut right on the satin dress. The way that everyone rolled with it really showed how excited everyone was for these two beautiful ladies to express their love for eachother.
