Vineyard Elopement San Luis Obispo

Most of the time, when couples think of a wedding on the central coast of California, they think of a toes in the sand wedding, or a wedding on a grassy cliff overlooking the ocean.  But, the central coast has so much more to offer than beautiful beaches.  Another romantic option to a beach wedding is a wedding at a vineyard.  Surrounded by rolling hills covered in wine grapes, and hills studded with oak trees in the background, a vineyard is a perfect backdrop for a wedding.  And, spring and fall are the ideal months to consider for a wedding at a winery.  In the spring, the surrounding hills are covered in green grass and the leaves on the vines are a new green color.  Likewise, in fall a certain beauty shows through as the vines are laden with bunches of grapes and the vines are just beginning to change color.  And the hills and the vines are so pretty in photos.  How can you improve upon nature when it is so beautiful!

For this particular vineyard elopement in San Luis Obispo, the early rain of the morning had cleared, but misty clouds covered the surrounding hills.  I have to say the weather added to the beauty of the couple’s special day. A hush had fallen on the land as the guests arrived.  Under an old oak tree, chairs were set up and the low rock wall and short pillars were decorated with white pumpkins and lanterns surrounded by eucalyptus branches and white dahlias.  To start the wedding, the groom escorted his mom down the aisle.  He even had his own special wedding song. As the traditional wedding march played, the bride made her entrance escorted by her brother.  She wore an ivory lace grown accented by a sparkly sash and a veil edged with rhinestones.  Her bouquet was made up of blush spray roses, white dahlias, and white gerbera daisies with large pink centers.  The flowers were accented with seeded eucalyptus branches.  As the groom saw his bride for the first time, he smiled sweetly.

After the ceremony and photos of the family and the happy couple, the guests gathered in the barn – just in time, since a light rain had begun to fall.  As a special surprise, the groom’s Aunt had made them a cake. After the cake cutting, the couple had perfect plans for their guests.  For their reception, the guests were given box lunches and taken in a small bus to various wineries in the area for wine tasting.  The bride and groom joined the guests, but they were driven in their own limo, to spend some private time together as husband and wife, after their vineyard wedding.

Cheers and best wishes to this happy couple, as they begin life together!

We also have other winery locations in North Santa Barbara County.
