Getting married in Napa Valley, California

Napa Valley is a wonderful place to get married ..... there are rows and rows of vines and Olive trees. 

It almost never rains in California. There are so many lovely venues for photographs. 

You can incorporate Wine-tastings at one of the many Vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, & St. Helena. 

This is where a ceremony was being held the day we were visiting Napa Valley. Low level lighting and many barrels of wine set the stage for a beautiful ceremony. 

The smell of the barrels and wine wafts through the air.....

Even with the drought in California, these Olive trees are lovely. We visited Napa Valley in October...the days were hot and sunny, with a bit of morning fog and cloud. 

This is an entrance to a private estate with rows of cypress trees. A stunning photo op. 

So many places to stop and have lunch, or Wine, or both. 

This dramatic chandelier just adds to the ambiance in the wineries, as seen in Yountville.

Vintage Cars for your Wedding

There is something magical about having a Vintage car in your Wedding celebration. This is a 1957 Pontiac, If you like Vintage, see about including a vintage car in your photo shoot. 

For the best in faux botanical Bouquets, visit The Camellia, in Slate River Valley. 

Many moons ago, we used this car in our Wedding ceremony. Back then, it was painted Black.

If you time your Wedding to coincide with Bloom times of various bushes, like the Apple trees, and the Lilacs, you will have the most beautiful backdrop for your photos. 

If you're not sure where to rent Vintage cars, a good place to start is your local Antique Car Club.

Kleinfeld, Hudson's Bay, Toronto.

Those who attended the recent Bridal Show at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto were treated to a sneek preview of Kleinfeld ( Hudson's Bay), a Bridal Salon like no other, scheduled to open in May, 2014. 20,000 sq. ft. of Bridal, to be exact.

Stunning Bridal Gowns, from famous Designers around the globe.

For most girls, it's all about THE Dress. One can appreciate all the dressmaker details in these dresses, and somehow I can't see an episode of Trash the dress with these gowns. Prices range from $7,000 to $12,000.

Some of these gowns were modelled in the Fashion Show at this event.

No outfit is complete without accessories, and these do not dissappoint.

Look at all the Flower details on this Gown ... they seem to float in air.

I'm currently working on some Navy blue satin roses for a bridal bouquet, so I can appreciate the hours of  work that would have gone into making the flowers for the gown above.

Here's another bloom I've been making... love the texture and Vintage feel of it.

They make a cute centrepiece for a Vintage themed Wedding - Mason jar is painted with Cottage Paint which you can purchase at The Camellia, or online at www.thecamellia.com

 When researching Kleinfeld's in New York, I came across this article. You can read it, and comment below if you have visited the New York Kleinfeld's . Judging from Kleinfeld's display at the Bridal show in Toronto, it looks like it will be a beautiful, top-notch Bridal Salon, and a great place to find your Vision.
