And although I don’t have a ton of the details, I do know this. I am completely obsessed with the chic, laid back elegance. The charm threaded into every detail. The sophisticated but totally approachable style.

I am a little bit in love with the centerpieces. Potted plants in simple white containers with little birds and table names tucked inside. By sticking with mostly greens and whites, they are completely chic and refreshing. They look expensive and yet they are totally doable for a DIY bride. Love that.

Here’s what else I love about this wedding. It’s all about the simple elegance…candles placed on top of coffee beans inside a perfect cylindrical vase. A chocolate table runner that spans the length of the table. An adorable cork board with mismatched place cards pinned to it.  A cake that is literally making me want to dive right into the picture so that I can see it for myself.

It’s the sweet, charming details that just take this one to an all new level. Oh and the FABULOUS color palette. Thank you so much to the so-so-talented Nancy Liu Chin for sending today’s affair. Make sure to check out her site and her fabulous blog for tons and tons of eye candy. And to the forever amazing Lisa Lefkowitz for capturing such stunning photographs. Love. Every. Bit of it.

The photographs were all taken by a new photography team in the San Francisco Bay Area…Verite. Their work is really beautiful and I have to say, I am blown away by these gorgeous images that we’ve featured today. If you are in need of a little inspiration, check out their website. It’s actually still being developed, but the photographers, Robyn and Maria, have their own sites that are filled with eye candy!

Thanks so much, Tracy, for letting us feature your big day!!

From Tracy, the gorgeous bride…

Our wedding was May 31, 2008 at Murrieta’s Well in Livermore, CA.  My husband, Steve, and I wanted an intimate, rich event filled with warm textures, great food and wine and lots of laughter!  We really achieved all three of these (and even more).  I really focused on textures when putting together my look and feel for the day.  Andrea, at Studio AYT, incorporated cork into our invitations to reflect the winery venue, we used white dogwood and orchids to mirror the rough/soft feel of the concrete barrel room and soft twinkle lights.  I wanted to bring in a classic old Hollywood feel to my look and my hair designer really did a great job with the soft waves to match the lace of my dress.   Finally, I LOVE LIGHTING so we really used different shades of up lighting on the outside of the winery and in the vines to give the dance/lounge area a jeweled fabric feel. 

We were so pleased with how everything turned out and are even happier to be married!
