Classic Wedding at Beaulieu Garden in Napa Valley, CA
This Beaulieu Garden wedding in Napa Valley, California was an intimate 65 person celebration that took place in late Summer. The property is overflowing with beautiful Italian inspired landscaping, French garden designs, and European influenced spaces that will make you feel like you’ve stepped foot into a far-off land. When you first enter the property, you’ll drive through a majestic sycamore grove with almost 150 sycamore trees lining the driveway.
The bride’s blush gown was designed by Monique Lhuillier and featured a stunning strapless bodice with a full ballgown with layers upon layers of tulle. Her rose gold Jimmy Choo wedding shoes were the perfect fit for such a lavish gown, and her bouquet was made of nothing but lily of the valley.
The ceremony took place in the sunken garden - a multi-level landscape design that includes a European pool with lily pads, a cherub fountain, Italian Cypress trees, roses, English boxwood, yew trees, and jasmine. Guests sat in sophisticated rose gold chairs with white velvet cushions. Meredith from Meredith Law Design created and built a copper floral arch to match the chairs.
The cocktail hour took place in the Italian Garden. Guests spent their time on white lounge furniture, enjoying custom cocktails and unique hors d'oeuvres.
The reception took place under an arbor fully draped with lights. The tables were arranged in a “U” setting with the multi-tiered white cake adorned with greenery at the center. The tables were set with gold flatware, long runners made of ferns, white florals and a variety of greenery, blush linens embroidered with white flowers, candles, gold-rimmed glassware, gold chairs, and amethyst geode table numbers with gold lettering. See how beautifully all these elements came together below!
