Samantha and Brennan: When Napa comes to town!

My love for wine and Napa is not something I am shy about. When I meet clients who are not only as enthusiastic as I am about the wine country – but want their wedding to have the “Napa feel” – I am in HEAVEN!

Samantha and Brennan wanted to have their ceremony at Sam’s parents home in Lakeway. I fell in LOVE with it the minute I pulled in the drive. It was the perfect home for entertaining and had a killer view of the lake! I always design weddings to feel “residential” so there was not much needed….just to deck over the hot tub, bring in an acrylic arch, a couple of hundred chairs and ton of romantic floral!

Guests then headed to Barton Creek and spent the evening in a chandelier covered pavilion. Candles were our best friend and really warmed up the space! My fave detail was the wine tasting at each setting, so all guests got to sample wines hand selected by my wine soul-mate, Dan Holland, aka Father of the Bride! Thank you, Hollands for being so lovely to work with….and for introducing me to Jarvis!

xo,
Gina
