Some time ago I posted a story about the wedding invitations we did for Vanessa Gomez and Mike LaGatta’s destination Napa wedding. Vanessa just sent me these photos from the Big Day and i just had to share them with you. They and the following words, are from the blog of floral designer, Jessica Switala’s Fleurs de France, who created the incredible bouquets you see below. We were very pleased to have made Vanessa’s invitations and all the wedding pieces, table numbers, menus, programs, seating cards, thank you notes.
Vanessa & Mike, their family and friends all traveled to the Napa Valley for this Destination Wedding. The couple hosted their out of town guests to a full weekend of delicious food and wine. It began with an intimate luncheon at Brix in Yountville, proceeding to Groezinger’s for a lively, fun filled evening Welcome Party for all of their guests. The main event was held at Auberge du Soleil after their church ceremony the following day.
Feathers and fiddlehead accented the brides bouquet and the rich textural florals in deep purples, eggplant, apricots and oranges. The shades and textures of their arrangements created a luxurious atmosphere fused with deep purple Peau de Soie linens and Topaz Terracotta napkins and chair cushions from La Tavola. I absolutely loved working with Dee Merz, their Napa wedding planner. We worked easily together, planning, discussing colors, linens, and other endless details. Vanessa provided style and color inspirations and then gave me complete latitude to create from my heart. The tears of joy I saw when she first saw her bouquet were a true indication that everything was perfection and just as she had envisioned. Greg Gibson just sent me these wonderful images! Enjoy!
Thanks Dee! So great to hear from you. Can’t wait to work with you again. You still have to come over here!!!Z

Totally my pleasure, Vanessa. Working on your wedding invitations and wedding pieces was so satisfying because you were clear about what you wanted and didn’t want, yet very open to all my ideas and suggestions. I love the rich jewel tones on the tables and flowers, just ravishingness all over the place!

Zida….Thank you again for all your help in making our wedding celebrations so unforgettable. I worked with amazing professionals and so very glad that you were a part of our celebrations. As you can see in the pictures, the menus and table numbers were perfect, and what you can’t see were the amazing seating cards and dinner choice cards and absolutely beautiful ceremony booklets. I can’t thank you enough for all your support, fun phone conversations and great ideas for all our events. THANK YOU! Always, Vanessa
