Wild Florals and Pastel Hues Defined This Solage Calistoga Wedding
Jenna and Sam tied the knot in a whimsical pastel garden wedding at Solage Calistoga in Napa Valley, California. The couple's love story began with a picturesque proposal at the Miradouro das Portas do Sol in Lisbon, Portugal, and their fairytale wedding was the perfect reflection of their sunny personalities.
Whimsical Florals and Pastel Hues
The couple's vision was to create a fairytale feel with lots of whimsical and wild florals in pastel colors. The result was a stunning floral design that transported guests to a magical world. "We really wanted the whole event to feel playful and full of fun," said Jenna. The bride's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the wedding, from the handmade postcards and personalized place cards to the Polaroid camera station where guests could leave notes and pictures.
A Delicious and Elevated Menu
Jenna and Sam's commitment to sharing the best of Napa Valley with their guests was evident in their creative menu and fresh ingredients. Passed appetizers included pork steamed buns, truffle mac 'n' cheese, lobster rolls, and duck confit tacos. Specialty cocktails like the Green Flash Margarita and Aperol Spritz were served alongside a refreshing mocktail, Green Lemonade. The plated salad and entrees were equally impressive, with dishes like niman ranch beef filet and bucatini pasta with truffle butter and mushrooms.
Handmade Details and Personal Touches
Jenna's love for handmade details was evident in the numerous special touches throughout the wedding. Guests were given personalized postcards with a watercolor map of the wedding event locations, and each guest received a handmade bow with their name printed on it to serve as their place card. The couple also created paper fans with their initials for each guest to take home as a reminder of the special day.
A Magical Welcome Event
The welcome event was held at the stunning Castello Di Amorosa, an incredible Napa winery in a castle. This was just the beginning of a weekend filled with love, laughter, and whimsy.
