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.
