Calistoga, California

As featured in Over the Moon. For Kristin + Jake’s Autumn wedding at Meadowood, we were tasked with exploring the prismatic palette of harvest season as it unfolds over Napa Valley. Our chic bride, a writer and storyteller by trade, wanted to surprise and delight guests with unexpected botanicals and forms. For their chuppah, we mixed foraged rainpod, abelia, and hydrangea with dried beech, mums, and zinnias. On tabletops, locally grown garden roses and fuschia dahlias float out of ikebana-informed centerpieces. Dried grasses, celosia, and chocolate cosmos round out the seasonal display.
