Betty and John's Rustic Wine Country Wedding

Not only do I love how this super delicious rustic-inspired wedding was styled but I'm also smitten with the couple's sweet love story: Thirteen years after falling in love in school, John proposed to Betty at a little park in Berkeley where they shared their first kiss as teenagers. Betty, of course, was ecstatic and a wedding was soon planned for October 10, 2009, at the romantically secluded Stonehouse at Temecula Creek Inn - right in the middle of of Southern California's fabulous wine country. Beeeeeautiful ...

Betty and John's fall wedding just oozes charm - Everything was so meticulously and lovingly thought out that guests said it felt like a cozy home. Tables were named after various streets around Berkeley that had special meaning for them and their friends and guests cuddled up around the fire pit after indulging in a hearty cookies-and-milk bar.

The gorgeous wedding cake was topped with a pair of adorable lovebirds, and the flower cutouts on the cake matched the embroidery on Betty's vintage-inspired dress (by designer Claire Pettibone). With John being an avid San Francisco 49ers fan, Betty decided to surprise him at the reception with a second, specially made team cake.

Thanks so much to Betty and John for sharing their beautiful day with us and congratulations!!!
