California Wedding from Gertrude & Mabel Photography

May 27th. 2011 by Mallory | Filed Under | 20 comments

Spring is here, and that means summer is knock, knock, knocking on the door next. If there were a wedding that could completely embody a warm, sunny, summer day, this would be it. The yellow and red palette mixed with the big sunflowers and sweet little ring bearer and flower girl are just as wonderful as the warm sun on your face. Gertrude & Mabel Photography captured the light, the love, and the sweetness of this California Wine Country wedding to a T. So kick off your flip flops, grab the SPF 15 and hang out in the gallery for more!

From Gertrude & Mabel Photography … Jessica and Ryan chose B.R. Cohn Winery for their June wedding destination and said I do on Foxhill among the grape vines. Their color palette, bold reds and yellows, were incorporated in splashed linens, sunflowers, pin wheels and ribbons. Plaid neckties of a variety gave a fun offset to the groomsmen. A poolside cocktail hour cooled off the afternoon followed by a family-style dinner that was enjoyed in the gorgeous Olive Grove and was specially prepared with locally-grown ingredients by Grapevine Catering.

    Alright @Sarah! and @meredith, we've got a reply from the bride! "I got my dress (also veil and flower) from Forget Me Knots Bridal in San Francisco: http://www.forgetmeknotsbridal.com/index.html . Fabulous, elegant dresses; all priced under $1,000. "

    Such a gorgeous dress, don't you think?

    Aww, the bridal shop where Jess' dress came from is going out of business today. Sad. What they do have on their site is gorgeous.

    Jess - You and Ryan's wedding was absolutely beautiful. Might have to steal some of your ideas for when Steve and I get married. :)

    I just found out they were closing too--after 18 years in business! They were fabulous to work with.

    Here is a link to the dress from the Casablanca website though:

    @Michelle - Here's what the bride had to say about the shoes: "I actually got my shoes at David's Bridal. They were the dye-able kind, so I chose the style and then had them dyed the same red as the bridesmaids dresses (which were also bought at David's Bridal)."
