Al Fresco Napa Valley Summer Wedding

What I’m deeming as the perfect combination of elegance and rustic charm, with just a dash of preppiness for good measure, gets you this beauty below. 2Chic Events & Design worked their wonders and created a Napa Valley masterpiece that keeps getting better. Marin Kristine snapped every sparkle and stripe and the final product may just go down as one of the best blending of styles yet.

From 2Chic EventsSeethal and Jason had, what I would call, the best wedding of all time. There was nothing about this day that wasn’t absolutely perfect. And, I suppose that is what happens when you begin with one truly genuine, warm and incredibly fun couple and end with a celebration that matched them to a T.

We spent just over ten months planning this beautiful soiree at the lovely Meadowood in Napa Valley. I knew the moment that I walked into this venue for the first time that this was the absolute perfect place for Seethal and Jason’s dream design to be brought to life. The surroundings created an incredible sense of beauty and intimacy that just could not be matched at any other venue.

Once we secured this perfect spot, and began putting the details together, the design for this wedding really took off. And, once Honey Paperie came into the picture and executed a flawless design of their stationery suite, complete with the perfect custom logo, it all became even more crush-worthy. We were able to incorporate the paperie throughout the entire design and into elements like the champagne escort card table, the menus, the bride and grooms chair backs and the tags on the pashminas. It was a great subtle reminder throughout the day that this event was a reflection of Seethal and Jason’s style and a true celebration of the two of them.

Add in the lush greenery, the amazing food, the carefully selected wines and the meticulously designed details throughout – and there was no doubt that we took every single guests’ breath away. Absolutely no detail was overlooked and the evening exuded a feeling of warmth and a celebratory spirit unlike any I have seen at my many weddings. It was perfection.

From the beautiful Bride… With family and friends scattered throughout the world, Jason and I knew we wanted our wedding location to be somewhere full of fond memories. For us, that could be nowhere but the Napa Valley. It was the first vacation we ever took together, and we could not think of a more special place to share with all of our loved ones.

We were nervous about planning a wedding from the other side of the country, but from the moment I first spoke to Aimee Wendell of 2Chic Events, I knew she would be able to bring our vision to life. To this day, Jason and I find it hard to describe all the beautiful details of our wedding day. From the exceptional personalized service at Meadowood, to the archway of flowers nestled between the weeping willows at our ceremony, to the baskets of pashmina scarves for guests to use for the chilly Napa evening, it was everything we had dreamed it to be and more.
