Tiffany of Adeline and Grace Photography sent us Megan and Jason’s gorgeous wine-country wedding at the beautiful Cline Cellars winery. The winery is 45 minutes north of SF and is totally perfect … “Cline Cellars is such an expansive and diverse property: 6 ponds, a replica of an old Spanish Mission, barrel room and a guest house villa all surrounded by vineyards.“  Sounds perfect …

These flowers are so striking. Really makes me want to study floral design!

The event was designed by Beth Lipin of BA Lipin Event Design. Apparently, her team transformed the immense Barrel Room into an intimate gathering positively glowing with 750 votives and candles! Now that’s AWESOME.

Since Jason’s family is in the baking business in Buffalo, the cake was of paramount importance. Michelle Bommarito (… of Food Network Challenge fame) created a 5 tier cake which incorporated her signature scroll design and also included chocolate fondant bands that echoed the large wine casks in the Barrel Room.

Wedding papery was created by Lysa Goodman Poore of Demby+Solomon. LOVE the Save-The-Dates!

Guests were greeted before the ceremony with glasses of fresh-squeezed lemonade.

The wedding team that Megan and Jason chose played a key role in the outcome of their final vision, which in turn made my job very fun! The girls had a relaxing morning at the villa before the ceremony started. Halfway into their final prep stages Catherine Conlin and Beth Lipin brought the girls their incredible flowers. Catherine surprised Megan with a small fly (as in fly fishing) attached to her bouquet, as Jason loves to fish. These little fly details were carried over into the groomsman boutonnieres as well. Before we knew it the ceremony was about to start. The ceremony took place at the end of Cline’s great lawn. As guests arrived they were greeted with glasses of lemonade donning “I do” flags. The guests also had their first taste of Megan and Jason trivia. Throughout the wedding, picture frames with fun tidbits about the couple were placed in common areas: program tables, cocktail hour, the bar and guest book barrel. Megan walked down the aisle through 2 inches of red, light pink and yellow rose petals. There were tears all around, including Jason. After the 30 minute ceremony concluded guests enjoyed cocktails on the lawn before entering the barrel room. Beth outdid herself! Over the past few hours over 750 candles were lit across the wine barrels transforming a massive space into a cozy elegant affair for Megan and Jason’s 136 guests. The head table was set with a rich gold linen with a contrasting purple runner. Every table had a different feel, but all within the same color palette of golds and purples. Megan and Jason were announced by Big City Revue who knew how to get the party started! After their first dance they immediately cut their 5 tiered cake created by Food Network Challenge star Michelle Bommarito. The cake was amazing! Just afterwards Megan’s grandfather serenaded the crowd with “Sunrise, Sunset” As soon as their meal was finished EVERYONE hit the dance floor. The bridal party and family members sang with the band on stage! It was a reception to remember!

Here is a pic of the dress that this reader has chosen…

What do you think…does orange still work as an accent color or should she move more towards a peach hue?

Abby’s Answer…I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I love the idea of bringing in peaches AND oranges to compliment the shell color of her gown. I do think that using just orange would be stunning, but I am also a big proponent of varying the hues within a palette to add a sense of dimension.

I will say though, that it kind of depends on the style of the wedding. If this bride is going modern, orange should be the primary hue. Clean lines using calla lilies, contemporary place settings, sleek vases and such. If she is going more romantic, I think that peach should be the hue…

Bride on Rebecca Thuss, Flowers and Centerpiece on Wiggy Flowers

Either direction is going to be gorgeous with that incredible dress!
