Napa Nuptials

A Perfect Blend in Napa Valley

Nestled in the heart of California’s wine country, St. Helena provided an ideal location for this couple who has ties to Napa Valley. The ceremony was held at a private wine estate with breathtaking views overlooking the vineyard. Later, the celebration continued with a reception at a fully converted wine warehouse, reimagined as a bespoke restaurant with custom branding for the occasion.

We created a chinoiserie styled pattern reflecting the gorgeous scenery and ties to the couple, including the vineyard’s landscape and their beloved cat. This pattern was used throughout the stationery as a branding element along with their custom monogram. These elements were mixed with modern typography, showcased in a mix of gold foil and blind embossing. A textured linen was also used for an elevated, but natural feel.

A Luxe Linen Enclosure

The invitation suite was housed in a custom linen enclosure with our hand drawn custom pattern printed on the interior.

Raised flower petals brought in a fun layered look over a linen menu for the rehearsal dinner.

Ceremony programs were tied to the chairs with a custom linen pocket, complete with a sprig of lavender.

An Escort Wall Moment

This larger than life escort wall featured a framed, rope wall. The escort cards included a deep teal paper with names, woven with a custom leather swatch embossed with table numbers.

Chez Neal

The reception was built in a wine warehouse, converted to an atmospheric restaurant perfect for dinner and dancing. The custom branded restaurant was named ‘Chez Neal’, after the couple’s married name. No detail was spared, including the custom embroidered linen napkins.

A wrapped leather booklet with inserts was a perfect nod to the restaurant styled dinner.
