Styled Shoot Sneak Peak…Boho Woodland Wedding Inspiration

What an amazing way to end the wedding season...

With a gorgeous Styled Shoot

capturing the beauty of the foothills

& incorporating an amazing group of local vendors.

I feel so blessed to have met some amazing wedding vendors this past year since moving up to Grass Valley, CA.

I started working with Jennifer & Carlos at

Farm to Table Catering in the Spring

& they brought me into the world of foothills weddings.

From there I met the lovely Katie of Katie White Photography

& we knew instantly that we wanted to collaborate

on a styled shoot. Since she was originally from Sonoma,

she had stayed busy with weddings in the Wine Country

& hadn't really marketed herself as a Gold Country Photographer.

So we were the perfect fit. Her from Sonoma & me from Marin.

Both of us wanting to highlight the beauty

& flourishing wedding industry in our new community.

Here's a quick sneak peek of the gorgeousness

that happened this fall day...

More to come of this shoot when I can share

the STUNNING images

from Katie.

And it wouldn't have been so magical

if it wasn't for all of the incredible local vendors:

A sneak peak...Vineyard Soiree

What a lovely group of ladies I was able to work with last month

that created this gorgeous 30th Birthday Soiree.

It was a French-inspired gathering set at a beautiful vineyard.

I saw the space in person when I picked up all of

our vintage rentals at the Kelley & Young Winery. Their website

doesn't do the space justice…They're in the process

of building a barn that will be the tasting room & potentially a great space for more farm-to-table gatherings.

Here's a little snapshot I took of the winery in Alexander Valley as I was heading back home to the foothills. Just gorgeous!

I feel fortunate to be meeting so many super

creative, inspiring & fabulous ladies via Instagram. It surprises me what a cool community it has become.

One of these ladies is Claudine, of Cooking with Claudine.

She is the most adorable gal ever! And I'm thrilled that we connected initially via Instagram, but were able to connect (in the REAL world) on my trip to the Bay Area &

chat over a glass of wine.

Well she is one of the masterminds behind this gorgeous

Birthday Soiree for her girlfriends 30th birthday.

Luckily she brought me on board to help her create the

"French-inspired gathering on a Vineyard"

What an amazing sign & sentiment to start the party off!

Gorgeous writing on our Gold Framed Chalkboard

(& all the calligraphy & paper details for the day)

by Narine of Sweet & Crafty.

Make a Wish Sarah!

The gorgeous table was designed & styled by Cooking with Claudine

& Melanie of Head Over Heals with Melanie. It includes our

Cut-glass & Hobnail Votive Holders & florals by MacKensey of Poppy Stone Design.

As well as our Kathryn Chair for Sarah's special spot

at the table. We're thrilled that it completed the

French-inspired theme perfectly.

And how gorgeous does everything look lit by our Votive Holders?

Also shown are our Assorted Picture Frames,

Gold Framed Chalkboard, Wine Box, Cut-glass Compote &

our Silver & Glass Cake Stands.

Tasty Rosemary Cashew treats by Claudine piled in our

Wood Root Bowl as favors for all the guests with sweet

Merci tags by Sweet & Crafty.

How fabulous does this gathering look?

A perfect evening at the Kelley & Young Winery.

How nice to have such amazing friends to create something so special to celebrate a big birthday!

Happy Birthday Sarah!

We hope your day was as amazing as it looks in the pictures.

Site Visit...Empire Mine State Park

It's been awhile again…

And summer is finally really coming to an end.

I'm not quite willing to accept this yet. Summer is definitely

my favorite season. I wish it could last forever.

Just because I haven't been busy writing blog posts, doesn't mean I haven't been exploring our new area. I was able to do several site visits this summer. The first on the list was

Empire Mine State Park.
