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

The Knot recently featured the remarkable wedding weekend of Kayla and Cody. This red, white, and star-themed rehearsal dinner left guests awestruck and excited to witness the couple's happily ever after. Set in the modern Stables of Greengate Ranch & Vineyard, the rehearsal dinner, catered by Field to Table Catering & Events, embraced a romantic and celestial theme.

The carefully curated decor from Bella Vista Designs featured a color palette of red and white, accentuated by the twinkling glow of fairy lights and shimmering star motifs. Epic Entertainment serenaded the gathering, setting the stage for joyous celebrations. Guests also had the opportunity to indulge in stargazing, where telescopes were set up to provide glimpses of the night sky.

From the moment guests received the invitations by Prim & Pixie, they were introduced to the couple's vision. The boxed suite, decorated with pink suede and gold accents, set the tone for the celebration's modern yet romantic theme, which was echoed throughout the event's signage by Lovely Fest.

As the wedding day unfolded, the couple transformed their rustic barn venue into a vision of understated elegance. The ceremony, draped in all-white fabric and illuminated by chandeliers adorned with flowers and vines, exuded an air of timeless beauty. The bride, Kayla, fondly recalls the ethereal atmosphere, "From the outside, it looked very rustic…but inside was gorgeous."

Kayla and Cody’s wedding design was incorporated into every minute detail, including their beautiful seating chart and wood bar. The dusty pink, gold, and wood accents stood out behind the background of Greengate’s natural lush setting.

Beyond the aesthetics, Kayla and Cody infused their heritage and family traditions into the celebration. A teepee photo booth, adorned with their names on a neon sign, paid homage to Kayla's Native American heritage, adding a personalized touch to the festivities. Additionally, the couple honored their grandparents, who had passed away, by reserving three chairs in the front row—a touching gesture that ensured their presence was felt throughout the day.

Family played a central role throughout the day, with Cody's older son, Korbin, proudly walking down the aisle as a groomsman, standing tall beside his father. Meanwhile, their youngest, Beaux, stole hearts as he bravely carried out his duties as the ring bearer.

In every moment, Kayla and Cody's wedding radiated warmth and authenticity, a testament to the love that binds families together and the beauty of honoring one's heritage. As they embark on this new chapter of their lives, they carry with them the rich tapestry of their past, weaving it into the fabric of their future.

We had the honor of celebrating the love and heritage of Denise and Luis in the fall! This beautiful celebration, published on BRIDES, perfectly encapsulated elements of their traditional culture with an added modern twist. Denise and Luis shared their first impression after touring, saying“It was definitely love at first sight. Because both of our family backgrounds are rooted in ranch settings, we knew the venue would tie into our theme perfectly.”

Embark Event Design brought this couple’s vision to life with balanced elements of old and new. To match the theme and embody the al fresco and modern traditional Mexican elements, the color scheme included dark red, burnt orange and subtle blue hues. On the day of, a mariachi band surprised Denise and her bridesmaids to help kick off the special day.

Ceremony and reception were covered in beautiful florals by April Flowers and furnished by All About Events and Avenue Twelve. Following their Mexican ceremony, the couple and their guests headed to the Barn & Courtyard for their reception. The courtyard was dressed in autumnal blooms and neutral linens set against the backdrop of the rustic barn. The couple was handed specialty drinks hand crafted by Copper and Crystal as guests sat down for a delicious dinner prepared by Field to Table Catering & Events. From there, the guests danced the night away with a live mariachi band. We had such an amazing time celebrating Denise and Luis!
