An Intimate Spring Affair at a Tuscan Inspired Villa

filed under

Yellow & Black Micro-Wedding at the Sunstone Winery

Warm Spring days in the rolling hills of the Santa Ynez valley bring about the most romantic atmosphere. The most wonderful time for a couple in love to share the vows of a lifetime. And deep within the many rows of budding vines, the Sunstone Winery was at rest. It is a private estate reminiscent of a Tuscan villa and it was the perfect venue. Planned and designed by the talents of Heather Benge, Kendall & Miller’s yellow & black micro-wedding was brought to life.

Each guest walked down a light gravel drive lined with olive trees. Soon, the couple’s ceremony space came into view with a backdrop of the villa. Parker & Posies and Blush Botanicals combined their efforts to create a ceremony aisle lined with beautiful white and yellow flowers that brought forth the sweet aroma of a fresh spring morning. In similar beauty, hanging florals matching the colors of the aisle laid on the altar. It was a beautiful view against the aged sandstone of the villa.

During the ceremony, the couple shared vows from small journals beautifully calligraphed by Oh Eleven Studio. As the ceremony concluded, the couple walked hand in hand down the aisle as cheers filled the air. After tying the knot, guests found their names and table numbers hanging on a black stand made of wrought iron. Once collected, the intimate gathering moved into the drive lined with olive trees and rows of vineyards to find their seats.


The couple spent their Yellow & Black Micro-Wedding engaged with their loved ones celebrating the love they share for one another and will continue to cherish for the rest of their lives.


A table set with linens from Nuage Designs Inc and rentals from Party Pleasers was waiting for them. On the table, varying heights of long-stemmed candles, glassware, and place settings were ready to accommodate each guest. And an abundance of florals lining the center of the table for an elegant dinner under the setting sun. After dinner, slices of cake were cut from the four-tiered masterpiece by Lele Patisserie. This delectable treat was the perfect ending to a fabulous dinner.

Inspired by the femininity of love and the warm Spring weather, the bride wore a stunning white gown from styled gowns layered with tulle and a form-fitting bodice. Her look was the epitome of subtle beauty. Her groom wore a black three-piece suit from The Modern Groom to complete his masculine look.
