A Rustic Wedding Dinner

IN THE STUDIO

This is the final post in a series of three that tells the story of Gary and Tim’s amazing wedding weekend. If you haven’t seen the previous posts yet from their welcome dinner HERE and their wedding ceremony HERE, we highly recommend checking out the amazing creativity that went into each of these unique events.

Below we have the inside scoop on their wedding reception – a beautifully rustic seven course dinner party catered by the always fabulous Paula DeLuc. To amp up the barn setting, we designed a bronze metallic brown menu cover printed with an oak tree in darker brown while Fleurs de France used a lush combination of moss covered tree bark, ferns, and flowers for the farm tables. It was a dinner party fitting for two very fun, creative and classy grooms.

Under a Giant Oak Tree

IN THE STUDIO

We loved designing the invitation for Gary and Tim’s wedding weekend. The two grooms-to-be were planning a very special weekend of events so we wanted the invitation to not only celebrate their amazing 20 year relationship, but to also reflect the importance of the occasion. Each event had its own card printed with a tone on tone illustration of its venue. We bundled the cards, wrapped them together in a plaid vellum and nestled them inside a handmade paper box. The box was tied up with twine and sealed with a G&T monogrammed tag. I can only imagine how fun it must have been to receive this invitation in the mail!

Below are some pics from their ceremony which took place in the hills of St. Helena. Upon arrival, every guest received their very own boutonniere or bouquet and watched as Gary and Tim exchanged vows under a giant oak tree. We’re obsessed with the color combinations of their patterned bowties, striped shirts and plaid jackets along with the ornate design of the Persian rugs that paved the aisle.

A Grand Welcome Dinner

IN THE STUDIO

Gary & Tim’s wedding welcome party was out of a fairy tale. Held at Castello di Amorosa – a 13th century Tuscan-inspired castle and winery in Calistoga – guests were greeted by trumpeters and falconers for cocktail hour which was followed by cellar and tunnel tours. Dinner was then served in the Great Hall at long banquet tables surrounded by hand-painted Italian frescoes and medieval chandeliers. The room was cavernous yet warm, and the juxtaposition of the orange in the Renaissance murals and floral bouquets, paired with the modern aqua dinner menus gave the old-world room a very fresh vibe.

Stay tuned for more posts and details on G&T’s entire wedding weekend and invitation suite.
