Real Wedding Saturday: April & Mitch

Kristi Amoroso shared this beautiful vineyard wedding with me, and I had to share it with you! The wedding was held at the bride's family's winery, Gargiulo Vineyards, and these photos by the talented Tari and Albert Lewis from Mulberry Photo capture the day beautifully.


April wore her grandmother's triple-strand pearl bracelet and her mother's earrings.


When the wedding was being planned, the winery was under construction. At the time of the wedding, it hadn't been completed, but that didn't stop the couple from having a beautiful ceremony! The ceremony took place in the unfinished winery addition, with tons of jam jar votive candles lining the unfinished walls.




Flowers and event decor by Sillapere.


April's dad is a musician, and wrote a song for her that he performed as a surprise at the ceremony.


















Catering by Peter Hall, 707-944-1920.


Family friends performed during and after dinner.








Gargiulo "Aprile" vintage from a few years ago, named for the bride.


Pistachios were pressed into the sides of the cake, by Alexis Baking Company.




Dress by Reem Acra.






The Gargiulo Family Winery in Oakville, California.


Lighting by Twilight Design, 707-570-0101.




Congratulations April and Mitch! What a perfectly beautiful day. And thank you to Kristi Amoroso and Mulberry Photo for sharing this gorgeous wedding with Snippet & Ink!

This is really lovely. Oh to have a family vineyard! I love that it's unfinished, I really love the impromptu look. And that cake is making my mouth water!

I love that the bride turned something that many would term a disaster (having your venue be unfinished) into something beautiful. Those candles lining the unfinished walls look amazing!

We did this mason jar idea at a recent wedding I planned. It is rustic and beautiful all at once!
