Picture a relaxed black-tie celebration (Frank Sinatra playing in the background, bistro lights hanging over the lawn, a stunning Napa Valley venue…) and you’ve got Andy + Jaime’s wedding. He’s a foodie + lover of the outdoors and she’s a little more glitz ‘n glam. With Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch they got to combine both styles and throw a fun party for 65 friends + fam coming in from the Midwest. A dreamy day captured by the talented Jessica Burke? Icing on that fairy tale cake!
The colors (get inspired on her Pinterest) were pink + gold with green, teal, and peach accents.
A pair of Manolo Blahnik pretties….
One of the neatest details is that they framed J’s grandfather’s grade school valentines (that date back to 1931!) and displayed them around the cocktail area + card table. And what’s a better way to guarantee laughs and a good time? Keeping out games like Cards Against Humanity, Never Have I Ever, and the Voting Game for guests, naturally.
Jaime says, Our main concern was serving good food and good wine to our guests. We booked the venue without even seeing it in person, but Farmstead showed up on several of the top restaurant lists in Napa and looked beautiful online. We also loved the convenience of having a caterer and venue in one. Being that both of our families farm in Nebraska, it also seemed like a great way to highlight our backgrounds while having a destination wedding.
Jaime says they were shooting for an intimate dinner party feel… Check!
Congrats you two!
