Today is a day of Napa inspired goodness. There are so many styles and ideas that you can take from a Napa wedding and apply to just about any style…the laid back elegance, the warm color palettes, the intimate ambiance. Flowers that are a little bit tailored, a little bit fresh from the garden. Food that is organic and seasonal. Styling that isn’t stuffy or overdesigned. The Napa Valley vibe is all about effortless elegance. Creating a warm and totally personal environment.

Our first featured wedding for the day is pure bliss. It’s one of those weddings that we all want, but few of us can have…sweet, simple, intimate and utterly fabulous. Julie Mikos is the photographer behind the day and she captured the tailored elegance to absolute perfection!

I am a firm believer that pom poms make any space look better,...

It’s so interesting to me, that you can have a really similar venue…a winery for example…and come up with two totally different wedding styles. It’s the reason that I always encourage you to find a venue that suits your personality and style, so that you can easily build a wedding around it. If today’s earlier wedding was easy going elegance, this next one is more modern and styled. And I LOVE it.

A part of me just wants to take the day off…I am still recovering from the lazy, lazy holidays. But I have to say, when I saw this wedding, I got so excited, I just had to post it. Erin and Seth’s GORGEOUS Sonoma wedding was sent to me by one of our favorite Little Black Book wedding planners, Jenne Hohn. If there was ever a wedding that would make us...

From Paloma, the gorgeous bride…

As gifts to my bridesmaids, I gave each of them different hand made feather hairpieces from the Etsy seller Twigs & Honey (she made them by hand, and used my wedding colors) which they wore on the wedding day.  Myra from Twigs & Honey also made my...

I completely swooned when I saw this wedding, sent to me by one of our readers who recently married at Viansa Winery in Sonoma, California. When I lived in San Francisco Viansa was the very first winery I ever went to and from that moment, there was no looking back. The Wine Country is hands-down one of the most breathtaking places in the world and this wedding fell instantly into place…

I wanted to share a few more images and details from today’s featured wedding…

From Kacie…

My husband Brandon and I were married on July 12,2008 in the garden of my parents’ beautiful wine country home, standing right where they stood during their wedding ceremony 27 years ago, surrounded by 100 of our dearest friends and family. We wanted to create an intimate, hand-made, elegant, free-flowing, graceful, and vintage-inspired wedding…kind of like...

Without question, my favorite days on Style Me Pretty are those where readers send in Real Weddings based on inspiration boards that we’ve featured in the past. So, when Kacie sent me pictures of her own recent wedding and the board that started it all, I changed the direction of today’s post!!

Kacie designed an inspiration board for on of our contests a while back. Here it is…
