Elegant & Lace Wedding at Cornerstone Gardens

Last Updated: March 15th, 2021/20 CommentsTopic: REAL WEDDINGSby Meredith

Today we are re-visiting an oldie but a goodie.  Melissa and Clayton had a dream wedding  at Cornerstone Gardens, which is located in Sonoma California.  

Cornerstone Gardens was awarded The Knot’s ‘Best of Weddings’ for 2011 and 2012, which makes them pretty far up there with being one of the best venues in that location.  They offer three ceremony location options on their property; the wedding garden, the garden barn, and then the option that Melissa and Clayton chose, the vineyard lawn.

This wedding was very simple, yet elegant and one that you almost have to scroll through a couple of times because it’s just so darn gorgeous! I love a lace table runner and with the pop of turquoise in the ornate frame table numbers, it complements the soft white dahlia centerpieces so well.  From the colors, decor, to the gorgeous bride and the amazing photos taken by Jason and Anna Photography, this is a true show-stopping wedding!  I may or may not have had to wipe the drool off my face from looking at their amazing stationery — the retro save the date is too cool!

    Michele, my dress was purchased in San Francisco at the Bridal Galleria, it’s by Marisa 🙂 http://www.bridalgalleria.com/Home.htm

    Kylie, thank you!! my BM’s dresses were from all over. H&M, Nordstrom, Lulus.com and Express.

    Thank you for the feature! This truly was the best day of our lives 🙂 Libby – the save the dates were made by an incredible Etsy vendor: http://www.etsy.com/listing/59109452/as-seen-in-brides-magazine-comic-save. The wedding invitations were also made by someone from Etsy. I ordered the invites without the belly band. Added a little spin on them by tying them in lace & pining them together with miniature clothes pins from paper source. http://www.etsy.com/listing/61276980/dutchess-wedding-invitation-suite-with
    Thanks for all the compliments 🙂
