Real Weddings: Elisabeth + Michael

I want to move right into The Lodge at Sonoma after seeing Elisabeth and Michael’s gorgeous wedding!  The high ceilings, wooden beams, and amazing fireplace in the Stone Building were the perfect backdrop for the couple’s cozy and intimate event.  I’m especially smitten with the lovely floral created by Vanda Floral Design.  Hurricanes with candles lined the top of the fireplace, birdcages with fluffy ivory and blush flowers served as centerpieces, and bouquets of white hydrangea set atop wooden wine barrels at the altar.  Elizabeth’s gorgeous bouquet was filled with ranunculus, sweet pea, hydrangea, hypericum berries, orchids, and succulents, and Mike’s boutonniere is a matching succulent.  And of course, Gladys Jem captured the romance of this Wine Country wedding perfectly!
