“A Neutral, Gorgeous Italian Inspired Wedding in Sonoma Valley”

Emma + Taylor got engaged at their most favorite place on Earth, ITALY! Emma had previously been a bridesmaid for a previous wedding we had planned so knew she wanted Curated by Grace + White to be her wedding planner. Before we could even get started planning they had to make the tough decision of whether to host their wedding in the magnificent Italy or here in lovely California but knew they wanted an Italian inspired wedding.

There were many factors considered in deciding where to have the wedding–costs, family, travel, details, etc. Ultimately, we ended up coming up with the unlimited compromise, an Italian inspired wedding here in the beautiful Sonoma Valley and Viansa was the PERFECT place to host it!

Nonetheless, every detail that was planned for Emma and Taylor’s wedding was so thoughtful and intentionally planned. They stayed true to themselves and instead of traditional wedding formalities that felt off to them for example no cake cutting, a plated, family service hybrid dinner, a mother-daughter dance that had the whole place in tears and so much more. You could truly feel a sense of Emma + Taylor throughout the whole evening!!

Their overall wedding design was stunning!! A minimal, modern, approach with a neutral color palette and lots of textures. Encore Event Rentals was amazing at providing us such beautiful rentals and Blossoms by Lisa absolutely blew us away with the florals. Every detail was perfect for Emma + Taylor.

Park Avenue Catering met everyone of Emma + Taylor’s dream serving a fresh pasta pre selected entree alongside an Italian steak served family style. The overall cherry on top of the dinning service was freshly grated parmesan cheese that was offered to every guest. It was such a fun experience for guest and truly brought the Italy to California!

Surely weddings like these are so FUN to plan and curate. Intimate details, intentionally thought out budget spending, and truly making all of Emma + Taylor’s wedding dreams come true! Its clear how joyful and detailed the photos Ashley Carlasico captured! It was an absolutely PERFECT Itali-fornia inspired wedding top to bottom!

Favorite Things:

Signage–every detail in signage was intentionally and thoughtfully picked out without spending a ton of the budget on it!
The unique dining experience to bring the Itali-fornia theme to life
Personal Details that mattered to the Bride & Groom
