Blending Culture and Neutrals in a Romantic Garden Affair

Who says neutrals have to be boring? This Calistoga Ranch affair is Team Neutral, and we’re officially obsessed. Designed by Cole Drake Events, with all white florals by M Design, it layers natural, unfussy details with the elegant Napa Valley backdrop and the most beautiful nods to the Groom’s Persian culture. Add in stunning imagery by Sylvie Gil and a film by LoveSpun, and we have ourselves a pretty party au naturel.

From the Photographer… Hilary & Darian’s intimate June wedding is filled with sweet, cozy accents and references to Darian’s Persian background. From cultural elements in the ceremony to Hilary’s white fur stole, everything about this wedding was sweet and romantic. Dark wood furniture, copper and bronze decor, and string lights blend seamlessly with the Napa Valley setting. Cream and white florals mixed with olive and eucalyptus branches fit together nicely with the surrounding vineyards. Parasols for each guest made for a cute (and practical!) ceremony look.
