This wedding is so beautifully classic and vineyard inspired with so many original and special touches.  From the bottom of my heart, enjoy!

I kinda really LOVE this photo of the guys.

This is my favorite photo of the two of them.  So classic…so beautiful!

During cocktail hour, guests were invited to take a tour de France in the region of Provence.  We custom designed a map of the highlights of Provence that signified Amy and Alan’s love for one another.  There was also a lavender filling station for guests to interact and participate in which was a huge hit!  Not only was it fun, they were able to take a little bit of Provence home with them…literally!

We created custom tags based off of old maps of each area that they chose and created escort tags for each guest.  These were nailed to giant planks of wood to really give the feeling of an “old world” Parisian effect.  Table Cards were also individually nailed to wooden boards and the story of the significance of each place was written for guests to read.  I really loved this idea that we created for them, it was so fun!

This wedding was so insanely beautiful, thank you again to Amy and Alan for giving us the honor of being part of it!
