Blushing pinks, fluffy peonies, a crowned cake… it’s all making a stylish appearance at these Napa Valley nuptials. See the whole day in all its pink shining glory here!

From the Bride…Daniel and I hoped to plan a wedding that spoke to both the love we had for each other and for our friends and family. Our hope was that our guests not be spectators at an event but rather be a part of our wedding, each with their hands involved, getting to know one another to truly have a memorable experience to recall for years to come.
We found our intimate and romantic setting in Napa Valley, far from home on the east coast for us and most of our guests but nothing else could rival its beauty and charm. We found a beautiful estate that would become the center of the events for the four days our guests were able to share with us. It was the perfect setting for our comfortable but classic affair, fusing together an elegant feel with the rustic backdrop of the vineyards.
Because this was at a private estate, Jacin and Chelsea (of Lovely Little Details) spent countless hours setting up the space the day and night before the wedding hanging tea lights from the cedar beams, placing mason jars around the reflection pool in the courtyard, rolling wine barrels to set up the bar, filling the wine crate boxes with excelsior, tying ribbons on every kissing bell and sea salt favor, custom designing the signage and place cards, making the chalkboard signs, and setting up every detail for the big day. It was a true labor of love.
We had a traditional ceremony Saturday afternoon at Grace Church in St. Helena. The intimate stone sanctuary was filled with tears and laughter as we said our vows. My dear friend and bridesmaid, Rachael, sang Ave Maria while we gave communion to each of our guests. It was moving and joyous, and everything we could have wanted. Our ceremony will remain without a doubt my most treasured part of our wedding. We continued the celebration at the estate. We kicked things off with lots of Napa Valley sparkling wine while guests enjoyed playing bocce and croquet. When we moved to dinner, our guests sat at one long wooden table overlooking the vineyards as the Fil Lorenz Orchestra played in the background. We left the décor simple and rustic. I love simple garden flowers and have experience in floral design, so I took that on with the help of our mothers and my wonderful girlfriends. We had old mint julep cups filled with sweet peas and stuffed with sweet smelling peonies. Garden roses lined the table in gorgeous glass bud vases. Beautiful epi wreathes of bread from Bouchon bakery were scattered throughout the table along with bottles of wine from Hendry’s Vineyard where we toured as a group on Thursday. Each of our guests helped us pick out each bottle that was served that night. We are ever so thankful to our friends and family for their hard work in making our wedding happen. It was with their help that we became who we are and it was with them we shared in our new beginning.

Hi Nicole! The bride here :) I found the napkin rings from Pottery Barn. They don't carry them any longer unfortunately but if you need help tracking some down let me know.
Wow this is stunning! Great job Jacin!
Would also love to know where the key napkin rings are from!
aaaa, so excited to see this up on SMP! Congrats to all who were involved (lookin' at you LLD:)) - every little detail is perfect! The bride and groom are a stunning couple and it looks like their day was absolutely gorgeous!
thank you SMP for this amazing feature!! Kelly and Daniel were such a beautiful couple and their wedding weekend exemplifies their personalities perfectly. It was a laid back yet elegant affair and I couldn't have been more honored to work with these two and help them plan their destination wedding (they live in DC and traveled to CA for the big day).
To those who are asking, the napkin rings are from Pottery Barn, but no longer available. As Kelly said, we can help you track them down though - contact me if you need more info :)
Thanks again!
Beautiful! So incredibly romantic.
Amazing, amazing!! Jacin is so talented and can't wait for her to join in me in Cabo in 3 weeks to make my wedding day just as magical!
Jacin, you did a great job! This is absolutely gorgeous and I love peonies! I love the key on the napkin too, that was so different!
Already passed this along to a few of my brides, One in particular is going to die when she sees this! Love it - every detail!
Absolutely lovely, Jacin! {Though I must say, that doesn't surprise me at all, coming from LLD!}
How soft and feminine. Great choice in ballet flats.

What a beauty of a wedding Jacin!!!!!! I love the softness and the table setting is just perfect.
Thanks Kelly,
You are absolutely stunning by the way! And great job on your wedding! Where do you think would be the best place to find those napkin rings? :)
Thank you all for the sweet words and comments!
So excited to see our wedding featured here as SMP really was such an incredible source of inspiration for a bride like me. Our wedding was beautiful and so full of joy and we made it happen all on a modest budget…SMP was a major way of making that possible as we collected the ideas we loved here and made them our own.
I want to inspire other brides on a budget to enjoy learning for your wedding. Pulling together what you love for your wedding doesn’t always have to break the bank. Daniel and I did a lot ourselves with the help of our friends and family—from collecting all the little things you see like the vases and napkin rings to learning about floral design and learning the art of letterpress. And now I am so happy I get to share my knowledge with other brides
The pictures turned out beautifully! I second the napkin ring comment.... looking online for something like this now.
Hi Nicole! Thank you so much for your sweet words! Re: the napkin rings.. contact me at willowpress@gmail.com. I have 48 and if you need more I have the sku to check with their inventory. Hope that helps!
sigh..just timeless :)
Beautiful colors and very well designed. Congratulations!
Oh this is sooooooo beooooooootiful!! Love the soft romantic touches!!!! All of it is heaven!
Absolutely stunning! Everything from the napkin rings to the cake topper! The details are as beautiful as the wedding party, great post Jacin!!!!

I'm another Kelly in DC (not the bride) I want to thank SMP and the bride Kelly S. for having this wedding featured on SMP. I ended up emailing Jacin from Lovely Little Details with a question about this wedding and she impressed me so much with her response. my fiancé and I were deciding between having a wedding in Seattle and SF, and we decided on hiring Jacin and moving forward in SF. My fiancé says it is one of the best decisions we have made in the whole process. Kelly S. I'd love to chat with you in DC sometime :) ask Jacin for my info
I am now not positive where you are getting your info, however great topic. I must spend some time studying more or working out more. Thank you for magnificent info I used to be looking for this information for my mission.
