Swoon-worthy Real Wedding at Beaulieu Gardens

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of working with my clients Katherine and David on their wedding at Beaulieu Gardens in Rutherford (just south of St. Helena, part of the beautiful Napa Valley). Beaulieu Gardens has always has a special place in my heart. Years before I was a wedding planner, I flipped through an issue of Town & Country weddings and saw an image of a wedding reception under a beautiful leaf-adorned terrace. I'm pretty sure the photograph was taken by one of my favorite photographers, Mallory Samson. When I saw that picture, I said to myself "I want to get married there when I grow up". I remember googling Beaulieu Gardens at some point to find out more - hoping to see pictures or learn more. Later I learned that you can only book Beaulieu Gardens through Paula Le Duc Fine Catering, who is the exclusive on-site caterer, and the masterminds before the delicious food photographed below.

I'm so thrilled to share the gorgeous pictures from this wedding with you, snapped by the very skilled and always amazing Carolyn Quilici, for Lisa Lefkowitz Photography. Carolyn is a real gem, always calm, cool and collected.

Here are a few sneak peaks below -- you can see more on Carolyn's blog here. Don't miss the slideshow though for a recap of the whole day which is too cute for words. I loved it and I think you will too. The opening ring shot is one of my favorite images -- don't miss it!
