Sarah + John

Sarah and John’s wedding at GreenGate Ranch & Vineyard was a celebration of timeless romance, set against the picturesque backdrop of Edna Valley. Their day, featured in Style Me Pretty, was a harmonious blend of classic design, romantic details, and the natural beauty of our vineyard property.​

The couple exchanged vows surrounded by rolling hills and lush vineyards, with every detail thoughtfully curated to reflect their sophisticated style.

Soft shades of blush pink, creamy ivory, and delicate hints of greenery evoked a sense of timeless elegance, perfectly complementing the natural beauty of the surroundings. The ceremony space was adorned with lush floral arrangements from Noonan's Wine Country Designs, creating a romantic atmosphere that seamlessly blended with the vineyard's rustic charm.

The reception featured pieces from All About Events and Theoni Collection - elegant table settings with classic blush linens, lace overlays, and crystal glassware enhanced the sophisticated ambiance. Floral centerpieces in soft hues added a touch of romance to each table, while the warm glow of candlelight created an inviting atmosphere for guests to celebrate.

Sarah and John’s wedding is a beautiful example of how classic design elements can be elevated by the natural beauty of Greengate Ranch & Vineyard. Their celebration highlighted the versatility of our venue and the timeless appeal of a vineyard wedding.​

Emma + Quaid

Emma and Quaid brought classic charm and effortless elegance to their vineyard wedding at GreenGate Ranch. With the natural beauty of the property as their backdrop, they embraced a warm, neutral palette that felt both timeless and intimate—perfectly suited to our rustic-yet-refined setting. Starting the weekend with a rehearsal dinner on our Ranch House lawn, Emma and Quaid capitalized beautifully on what our property has to offer.

Framed by soft florals and the golden tones of summer, Emma and Quaid said I do under blue skies with our pond as a stunning backdrop. The reception followed in front of our iconic barn, transformed with elevated décor, neutral colors, and thoughtful design touches that made guests feel right at home. Planner and designer Embark Event Design brought Emma’s “quintessential vineyard” vision to life by utilizing creamy white florals by ADORNMENTS Flowers + Finery , pops of olive, and lots of textures (think oversized woven baskets, wood accents, and lush bundles of olive branches).

What made this wedding truly shine was its seamless fusion of classic style with a relaxed California spirit. Emma and Quaid’s love was the heart of the celebration, but the design, the setting, and the incredible team of vendors brought it to life in the most beautiful way.

We’re so honored to have hosted this stunning day and thrilled to see it featured on Style Me Pretty.
