Okay, if you aren’t already sitting down…you probably should be. I’ve saved the best of today’s wedding for last. The reception tables. These reception tables are quite possibly the most beautiful tables I’ve ever seen in my entire life and have completely inspired me to start collecting chandeliers as a hobby. A chandelier in every room of my house, maybe two. My poor husband.
Jose Villa, bless you for sending me a wedding that has made me the happiest blogger on the block.
From Brandy at Bliss Event Productions…
Unique touches included a vintage farm house door from Provence France that was used to display the escort cards. Michelle purchased vintage door knobs that I tied to satin ribbon and hung from the door. We also used old wine and milk crates to display parasols and the wedding ceremony programs. French vintage hand held school chalkboards were used as menu boards for the french macaron station and in the ceremony area for beverage menus and directions signs.
Michelle picked a bold and beautiful palette of colors for the wedding, Wedgewood Blue, Peach and Creams. They were stunning against the dark mahogany dinner tables and chairs and popped against the floral decor elements. But their piece d’resistance was the chandelier ceiling Michelle worked on creating with Jon Retsky from Got Light. Featuring over 150 different varieties of crystal chandeliers, they were suspended in the foliage covered lattice above the dinner tables. It was a beautiful during the day, but in the evening when the chandeliers were turned on… it was simply stunning. Fleur de Lisa designed the 4 tier wedding cake and it was displayed on an old BV estate wine barrel. Each guest received a bottle of BV Cabernet Sauvignon Wine as a welcome favor from the bride and groom.

AMAZING! What an absolutely perfect wedding, from the dress, the colors, the decor, to the absolutely breathtaking location and the best wedding photographer anywhere.

Hi Everyone! Invitations were by Mr. Boddington's Studio in NYC and the calligraphy was done by Pretty Pen Jen in Texas. Glad you enjoyed the wedding...I know we had a blast! The absolute happiest day of our lives! Good luck to all the brides who have the pleasure of still planning! :) (I'm secretly jealous that I don't have a wedding to plan for anymore....)
Michelle, if it makes you feel better, you will certainly be INSPIRING many future weddings! Congrats!
I love the seating. It's stunning with the chandeliers hanging from the vine trellis like that. It looks so airy and elegant. What a prefect vinyard wedding.
I am head over heels in love with the shot of the long table! What a gorgeous tabletop design and the chandeliers...swoon!!!

I am totally speechless...the reception tables are jaw-dropping gorgeous
WOW.
LOVE this wedding! The colors, the venue, the chandeliers, the "quirks"! I could go on and on and on....But I feel I should be taking notes here rather than writing them...!
The mix of rustic and chic is bringing the best of both!

This table is amazing. Very seldom do you a long wood table like this one in this type of setting. They are always fabric covered with no legs exposed. I love the chandeliers and the table setting. Just gorgeous!
