Old World Tuscan meets Autumnal Hues

featuring Lynn Dunston

This European-inspired shoot brought a little bit of Tuscany to Santa Ynez, California. With its limestone architecture, terracotta tiled roof, and sprawling vineyards and olive trees, Sunstone Vineyards and Winery was the perfect setting to evoke that Old-World Tuscan feel. Stylist and planner Lacy Geary incorporated designs with lots of texture with a neutral, yet rich, color palette. Plume Calligraphy introduced the look with layered, hand-touched designs and Idlewild Flora created artistic and organic designs using dried elements for the staircase and lush floral arrangements for the tablescape and bouquet. The high fashion styling and textural, romantic details are the epitome of the modern bride and all the inspiration is captured to perfection by the incredible Lynn Dunston.

The wedding dress is always a critical element of the wedding day – but some days it steals the show and actually provides inspiration for your whole wedding design. This French blue dress from Kate McDonald Bridal did just that – it inspired Kaleb Norman James to design a shoot for the Le Collectif workshop at Kestrel Park.

The French-inspired invitation suite from Grey & Cake set the tone for the day. Delivered in a wrapped parcel, it made the guests feel even more special when they opened the suite. A vintage ring sat in a bevel The Mrs. Box as the perfect accent to the flatlay styled by Kaleb.

This Kate McDonald gown is covered with delicate floral appliques. The blue tone is the perfect touch for something a little different on a wedding day. Our model wore her hair pulled back in a loose bun to show off her delicate circular earrings. Her makeup by Jen Lagers was fresh and clean. She carried a garden-style bouquet filled with lilacs, distant drum roses and spirea.

Under the Kestrel Park oaks, the intimate dinner took place. The velvet mauve chairs were the perfect mix of modern and timeless. Candles lined the table, and centerpieces overflowing with lilac sat before each guest. The letterpress menu sat atop handmade ceramic dish ware.

The three-tiered wedding cake mimicked the wedding gown – a soft blue hue with delicate colorful detailing. It was just as delicious as it looked – the perfect ending to a wonderful Kestrel Park wedding.
