Our most recent feature in Style Me Pretty reminisced on the beautiful union of Stephanie and Kevin this past fall. This timeless wedding stole our hearts with it’s elegant decor, light and airy aesthetic, and romantic details!

“Designing Stephanie & Kevin’s day was an honor and a joy! As a fellow wedding vendor, Stephanie had long dreamed of her wedding day and soon after meeting Kevin knew it wasn’t a question of ‘if’ they were going to get married but ‘when.’ Being a part of the Theoni Collection team, Stephanie’s design vision was clear and in keeping with her personal classic & timeless aesthetic. It was so fun to walk through selecting tabletop items & furnishings from her own collection, and she left the rest to us!” Sarah Strausser, Embark Event Design.

Stephanie and Kevin’s wedding was a celebration of authenticity, reflecting their love story in every detail. Their talented planner, Embark Event Design, went above and beyond in fulfilling her clients wishes. From the carefully curated menu by Field to Table to the eloquent florals from Blooms by Morgan, every element was infused with their personal style. This customized design was incorporated into the couples signatures cocktails by Copper & Crystal with hers being named for Alaska and his for California, representing their home states.

The couple envisioned a gathering which felt like a cozy dinner party at home, where warmth and romance filled the air. Greengate Ranch & Vineyard provided the perfect backdrop with its lush trees and natural beauty, exceeding their wildest dreams. For them, the venue itself was the main design detail, and they simply aimed to enhance its charm.

“I really wanted something outdoors with trees and Greengate was the dream setting, more perfect than we could have ever imagined.”

- Stephanie, Bride
