Guests Were Blown Away by the Ceremony Space at This Formal California Wedding

A Moody Palette

Ellie Cashman Design's wallpaper informed the entire event's color scheme, starting with the couple's invitation. The dark shades in the artist's work inspired the stationery suite's own floral illustrations and palette of primarily black, pink, and gray courtesy of Seniman Calligraphy.

The Blushing Bride

Tillie (who, like her husband, works in the fashion industry), glowed in her beaded Ines Di Santo wedding dress, which had long sleeves and an A-line silhouette. Tanya Bures of Page Beauty put her hair up in a ponytail, which the bride chose to ensure that every detail of the gown would be visible. Her updo was covered with a veil created by her wedding dress designer for the ceremony.

The Bridal Bouquet

The Poppy Design Co. bouquet resembled the flowers on the celebration's paper goods and included roses, astilbe, blushing bride protea, and scabiosa.

Stylish Shoes

Talk about statement shoes! Tillie stepped out in strappy, embellished, and rosy Gucci sandals on the big day.

The Bridesmaids

When it came to the bridesmaids, the color scheme diverted from pink to purple. The women wore mismatched gowns from David's Bridal and carried bouquets that resembled the bride's. They left their hair down in soft and wavy styles.

The couple's flower girl wore a white David's Bridal dress and a classic flower crown.

The Groomsmen

The men shared a laugh as they took their group portraits. Dalton donned a River Island tuxedo, Gucci bow tie and shoes, Eton shirt, and an Alexander McQueen pocket square. The groomsmen looked dapper in The Black Tux double-breasted jackets, setting the tone for the formal affair.

A Grand Entrance

Tillie's father escorted down the venue's vineyard-inspired staircase. Meanwhile, an instrumental version of The Sound of Music's "Edelweiss" played.

An Emotional Groom

While the couple's wedding had modern touches, they chose to work in a few traditional elements. That included one of Dalton's non-negotiables: seeing his future wife for the first time at the ceremony. The moment was one of the most emotional parts of the entire day—"there wasn't a single dry eye left in the audience," Azhak recalls. "I was completely speechless," shares the groom.

A Stunning Setup

The couple's Christian ceremony, which included a ring exchange, was officiated by one of their best friend's father. It took place on the estate's helipad, which overlooked the region's sweeping hillsides. As if that backdrop weren't enough, Poppy Design Co. crafted a floral crescent to frame the bride and groom. Have you ever seen such a breathtaking space?

The Recessional

The couple's joy was hard to miss as they blissfully recessed as spouses to The Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice." "My favorite memory was turning back and looking at everyone who was there for us. I've never felt more loved," Tillie recalls.

Happily Ever After

The newly-minted husband and wife took postceremony photos on the helipad and reflected on the momentous occasion, which they both say was the most perfect, beautiful day in their lives.

Lounge Time

After the ceremony, attendees convened on the venue's patio, where lounge furniture was set up for comfortable (and stylish) seating. As they snacked on delicious offerings from Modern Art Catering—including mini spaghetti-and-meatball skewers and a sampling of olive oils and balsamic vinegars—Kevin Whan of Vox DJs set the ambiance with tunes. The full bar included the venue's house wines.

The Escort Cards

Moody flowers reappeared on the couple's seating display designed by Seniman Calligraphy, which featured black escort cards calligraphed with gold ink and affixed to a floral-patterned board.

In Full Bloom

The main theme of the day came to life with arrangements of bold flowers—including this collection of assorted roses, peonies, and scabiosa, that popped against a brocade linen.

Dining Alfresco

Come reception time, guests found their places at a mix of round and rectangular tables, all set beneath the elegant chandeliers and romantic greenery that decorated the veranda.

The Details

Poppy Design Co. arranged colorful centerpieces of mostly red and pink blooms. Seniman Calligraphy menus, Casa de Perrin chargers, La Tavola linens, and additional Premiere Party Rents dinnerware made up the darker place settings.

For dinner, Modern Art Catering served Italian delectables including antipasto salad and grilled flank steak.

The First Dance

Tillie and Dalton shared the sweetest embrace during their private moment on the dance floor. They took their first spin as newlyweds to Cat Power's "Sea of Love." "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum was the soundtrack to both the father-daughter and mother-sun dances that followed.

A Dramatic Dessert

The couple cut into this dramatic Vanilla Bakeshop cake, which was one last nod to the event's deep color palette. The confection and how it was displayed was fully floral, from the bloom-covered stand to the familiar background print. The flavor, however, was fruity: strawberry shortcake, to be exact.
