Notes from the team…
Step into the romance of Italy amidst California’s sun-soaked hills at Sunstone Villa, where the timeless elegance of destination weddings meets the allure of Italian Charm. The bridal gown epitomizes Italian couture with clean lace, intricate vine detailing, and hand-embroidered florals. Its transformative collar offers three distinct looks, ensuring elegance from ceremony to celebration.
So many beautiful spots to tie the knot on this property… Love the idea of an intimate, circular ceremony set against the grandeur of the villa’s facade.
Every detail is meticulously curated to evoke the essence of an Italian summer day. From exquisite artisanal paper goods to a chic Spritz bar nestled in an Italian Ape Truck, guests are immersed in a sensory journey. Soft pastel yellows, terracotta pinks, peach hues, and lush greens harmonize with Sunstone Villa’s limestone facades, setting the stage for intimate moments like the circular ceremony, quintessential Aperitivo Hour, and romantic candlelit dinner.
Tables draped in textured vine linens, layered with vibrant fruit accents, echo Italian sophistication. Triple-layered menus tantalize with previews of the Italy-inspired feast to come, complemented by artistic place cards and the soft glow of Roman taper candles for a touch of romance.
A culinary masterpiece of a cake, adorned with edible florals and verses of Italian poetry, completes the celebration with sophistication and charm.
And what’s Italian romance without a getaway car to escape to the countryside?
