{Real Wedding: Summer Crush Chapter One}

We've asked Nancy to share with us one of her favorite Bay Area venues and she really did outdo herself with this real wedding that highlights one of Napa Valley's most gracious and picturesque wedding venues. Beaulieu Garden off of St. Helena Highway is a hidden gem. Romantics like us love it for its vast gardens, fountains, and its irresistible landscape.

When you see the images by the talented Tara Arrowood of Arrowood Photography, you know that Beaulieu Garden is unlike anything you've ever imagined. Currently, Paula Le Duc(PLD) fine catering manage the property. PLD is one of the area's finest caterers known for their 5 star service and cuisine.

Nancy has selected some of her favorite images from this coral pink, brown, green weddings with a blossom motif for all of us to admire.


The chuppah was 8 ft tall by 6 ft wide. Each of the wooden posts had a garland of foliage made from lemon leaf. The front two posts had coral pink, hot pink, orange flowers tucked from top to bottom. Peonies, hydrangea, roses were just a few of the many varieties of flowers that Nancy Liu Chin used to create this lush chuppah.

The bouquet consisted of open White Peonies with wired rosebuds from Garden Roses with scented Geranium leaves.
