Schuyler & Nicolas | Beaulieu Gardens, napa valley

Napa Valley might be one of the most romantic places in our eyes. Now drop yourselves into a beautiful European style garden, and you're at Beaulieu Gardens. Schuyler and Nicolas' nuptials took place in front of a beautiful hundred-year-old oak tree with a heavily adorned floral arch, the perfect backdrop for the couple to exchange vows. Once the ceremony ended, guests enjoyed some refreshing cocktails and appetizers under the arbor while listening to a string quartet playing vintage 1960’s jazz. For the wedding dinner, we mixed things up a bit. After working at this beautiful, family-owned estate for over 20 years, we were excited to design a reception space in the Sunken Garden, which is typically where the ceremonies tend to take place. As an ode to the groom's Greek heritage, we incorporated shades of blue to tie in the Greek-themed rehearsal dinner the night before.
