We are thrilled to announce our most recent feature in Style Me Pretty for Shannon and Brian’s beautiful November wedding! The article highlights the enchanting alfresco destination wedding held amidst the picturesque wine country landscape. With moss green and peach tones elevating the ambiance, the ceremony was surrounded by breathtaking views and lush greenery. Custom florals from Unique Floral Designs framed the romantic pond-side ceremony, setting the perfect scene.

The ceremony, led by one of Shannon and Brian’s closest friend, was deeply personal, incorporating a traditional Scottish Quaich ceremony to honor their heritage.

The reception continued the magic with tablescapes adorned with pink accents and bespoke printed menus. The couple's love for cooking and hosting elaborate meals was reflected in their wedding details. They displayed their collection of cookbooks, rented a wooden hutch to house them, and provided personalized bottles of olive oil as guest favors.

The cocktail menu, crafted with the help of Flair Project, featured three signature drinks: a coconut fat wash bourbon old fashioned, an herbal vodka cocktail with yuzu lemon foam, and a tequila-based drink nodding to their engagement in Mexico City. These unique cocktails were a hit, making the reception one of a kind.

Their wedding planner, Jane Alexandra Event’s vision of “elegant, magical” was brought to life with string lights, up lighting, and disco balls, ensuring the party remained lively and bright. Instead of cake, ice cream from Negranti Creamery was served, adding a fun twist to their November celebration.

A highlight of the evening was dancing on stage with the band under twinkle lights and disco balls, creating memories the couple will cherish forever. Sharing a toast with Irish crystal champagne flutes from Brian’s parents' wedding added a special touch, celebrating their 36 years of love and support.

We are honored to have been part of such a beautiful and memorable celebration - thank you to everyone who made this day unforgettable!
