We are talking madly, deeply in LOVE with the gorgeous photography by Ben Chrisman, with the thoughtfully designed and perfectly executed styling by Alison Events and their fearless approach to bold colors, with those lovely rustic bistro chairs. I don’t think there is one piece that I am not completely mesmerized by. This is a definite keeper and one that you are going to majorly heart. Click here to see even more.

From Alison Events:
Clara and Charles celebrated their big day in October at a private estate in Healdsburg, California. They swapped wedding vows on a hill overlooking Sonoma’s colorful fall foliage, under a Zephyr tent decorated with multi-hued paper garlands. Guests relaxed on a mix of bean bags, rustic benches and cafe chairs, sharing in laughter and happiness as Clara and Charles made things official.
Following the ceremony, guests headed down the hill to enjoy a three course meal prepared by Paula LeDuc Fine Catering. The meal was served on long wooden farm tables, with wild red and orange flowers placed down the center designed by AE favorite, Ariella Chezar. The pool at the estate was covered with a floor and carpeting to allow for room for additional seating and dancing.
The entire night was magical, but the best part was probably the dance party that ensued post-dinner. DJ Blue from NYC really lit the dance floor up and people danced like mad, late into the night. Photographer Ben Chrisman set up a self-portrait station to capture some wacky moments, that truly reflected the energy of the whole weekend.

i love how the escort cards mimic the photo of the vineyard
gorgeous pictures! I love the bag (is it a bag?) with sentence: 'There is no sincerer love than the love of food' :)
LOVE the dress! anyone know what designer and style it is?
Love the Bolero! Anyone know who made it?
the details are awesome!
Love the flip flop idea!
The dress is designed by Matthew Christopher. The style is Lalique.
That is some serious groom style!
OMG! That groom is majorly hot. He should be a model.
Farm tables and tent provided by Zephyr Tents - So honored to be a part of such a beautiful event!
i can't believe how diverse this event was! i kept thinking - this has to be two separate weddings - but no. they did a great job tying everything together as well!
Super cool wedding. Great ideas too. Cushions are a fantastic idea.!!
I didn't know it until I saw it but this is my dream wedding! Unfortunately my first dream wedding had a venue change the day before due to bad weather... Oh well, I can continue to dream and in my dream there is lots of colour, vibrance and outdoor fun to be had. The marquee set up as a lounging area is fantastic and the floral arrangements are perfecto. My fav bit of all though is the calico print that reads "There is no sincerer love than the love of food". How true :)

I could tell these images were Ben Chrismans before I read the credit. So fabulous!
Gorgeous! I love the colors, the tent, the tablescape... it's all great!
Loved the photos. A very unconventional wedding but it worked. Also, I LOVED the cake photo, beautiful. Couldn't tell if the flowers were real or confectionery.
I also loved the cake - it looks incredible!
I second the request for the bolero/sweater info! The bride is just gorgeous. What a fantastic wedding!
I love the use of bright fun colors! Such a great vibe to the wedding!
This wedding is absolutely gorgeous!!! Where are the streamers from??
Gorgeous wedding! Where is the groom's suit from? Anyone know?
Beautiful Wedding! Wondering if anyone knows who makes the grooms suit? Thanks~
The suit was custom from the awesome folks at lord willys in nolita, NYC. Clara's bolero is vintage and the shaw quote was on an apron. Thx for the comments!
This wedding itself is such a muse, esp for a newly engaged bride-to-be like myself! I am planning a wedding in Healdsburg for November and having the hardest time finding an estate given the permitting laws for events at homes. Any advice or leads are appreciated (esp for this fab wedding!!!). Thanks!
awesome work!
