Nestled in the heart of wine country, Sunstone Winery’s allure is undeniable. The Sunstone Villa, with its old-world charm and vineyard-studded surroundings, becomes a fairytale-like tapestry that awaits the stroke of elegance and celebration. This summer, that stroke was a palette rich with purple clematis, setting the scene for a wedding that could only be described as the epitome of enchantment.
From the sprawling vineyards to the intimate courtyards, the Sunstone Villa provided a picturesque backdrop for Lauren and Michael’s idyllic wedding day. Every moment, captured flawlessly by Catherine Leanne Photography, was a testament to love’s radiance when set against nature’s splendor.
The vines embraced not just the potential for great wine but also the blossoming romance, and the generous infusion of purple clematis blooms by Zuri Floral Design brought out a sophisticated yet whimsical vibe to the celebration. The vibrant purples against the stone masonry of the villa suggested a union of rustic elegance that resonated throughout the event.
Upon closer look, each setting and corner was a meticulously crafted vision brought to life by the planning and design prowess of Embark Event Design. They worked in harmony with the venue’s natural aesthetics, enhancing and never overpowering, creating a sense of welcoming luxury.
The bridal party glowed amidst this dream. The bride, resplendent in a flowing gown from Liz Martinez Bridal provided by En Blanc LA, moved with grace and beauty. Complementing her stunning attire were shoes by Jimmy Choo — a true statement of style.
The groom’s attire was no less impressive, styled to perfection by Friar Tux. Together, they looked every bit the couple who had stepped out of a bridal magazine, their smiles as enchanting as the setting sun over the vineyard hills.
The beauty efforts of Estialchemy and The Queen’s Bees ensured that every participant looked and felt their absolute best, a seamless blend of natural and crafted beauty.
As for the reception, Theoni Collection alongside All About Events brought forth a tableau of fine dining and comfort. The tables were clad in elegance, highlighted by the essence of clematis blooms that danced in the gentle evening breeze.
The culinary experience was paired with Sunstone’s own selection of wines, each sip a celebration of the soil and the sun. The gastronomy was an ode to the region’s produce — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly matched to the wines’ profiles.
To crown the event, Autumn Cake Design provided a cake that was not only a spectacle of confection but also a literal taste of heaven. With each layer decadently designed and expertly baked, it was an apt symbol for the layered and rich journey the couple was about to embark upon.
Lauren and Michael’s wedding at the Sunstone Winery was a canvas brought to life with strokes of love, commitment, and purple clematis.
