You Just Can’t Beat a Classic Celebration

We fall in love with weddings on the daily. It comes with the territory and this last installment of Erich McVey greatness is guaranteed to be a fast favorite. From first glance at the tulle and lace Mira Zwillinger gown to the open air vineyard reception designed by Ginny Au and the jewel toned florals crafted by Bows and Arrows, this day is classic to the core. Pop over here for even more.

From Ginny Au…Nestled in the hills of Santa Ynez, Sunstone Villa provided the perfect combination of modern and old world for Olivia Claire & Stuart’s wedding. It’s no surprise that the couple and their families traveled all the way from Alabama the get there. The indoor spaces are filled with light and full of character, and the outdoor landscapes range from lush vineyards to sun-kissed fields.

The couple brought together an incredibly talented team of creatives who delivered their finest work and executed their designs flawlessly. Ginny Au designed & styled the event, and worked with the couple to accentuate the existing beauty of the venue with natural greens, soft linens and silk ribbons incorporated into the design of the day. Script Merchant and Kaela Rawson collaborated on an amazing suite of paper goods. On top of the stunning bouquet and centerpieces, Bows & Arrows created a unique floral installation, inside of which Olivia Claire & Stuart exchanged vows.

The ceremony took place two hours before sunset, just when the light began to soften. At the reception, guests enjoyed an open air setup with string lights and candles, and arrived at their tables to find striking charcuterie boards. Seasons Catering created a family style meal, and live music and signature cocktails rounded out this lovely day for the couple and their guests.
