The Peak of Fall | Deanna and Cesare
Deanna and Cesare timed their fall wedding just right to get the peak of fall colors on Saturday, October 26th, 2019. The leaves changing color came a little earlier than usual this year, which worked in their favor for that stunningly iconic maple golden tree! Leading up to their wedding day was the threat of rain. We always advise our couples not to look at the weather since it is always changing and there isn’t much anyone can do about it (except maybe bury a bottle of bourbon!). Deanna didn’t want to worry about bad weather and decided to install additional tents on the property just in case it did rain on their wedding day. Guess what? Yep, you guessed it. It didn’t rain at all! So, perhaps installing additional tents works like burying a bottle of bourbon? It wards off any bad weather. Deanna & Cesare could not have been happier with the weather that Mother Nature ended up giving them and having those extra tents was worth it for them to just have that piece of mind not to have to worry any more.
Deanna had picked out her ideal ceremony location months in advance (to stand at the fountain with Cesare and their wedding party all lined up). This view is beautiful because of the symmetry of the garden and the beautiful mountain range and vineyard views behind which was even more breathtaking with the fall colors in the vineyard.
Since additional tents were already here, the couple held their cocktail hour under one of them. With the clear ceiling and bistro lights strung throughout the tent, no one ever knew that the real reason for that tent was for rain. After cocktail hour guests made their way into the elaborately decorated Aurora tent with lush green centerpieces and splashes of burgundy to complete their flawless fall look.
Thank you to all the vendors (and mother nature) who helped make this wedding such a success!
