Madeline & Mason

Madeline and Mason’s love story unfolded beneath the golden warmth of August at Carneros Resort and Spa, where vineyard views, rolling hills, and vivid florals created a celebration that felt radiant, romantic, and unmistakably Napa Valley. The entire day embraced the relaxed elegance of wine country while layering in bold color and lush garden inspired design, with Alicia & Co. shaping the celebration with an effortless blend of refinement and warmth.

The ceremony took place on the resort’s expansive lawn, where curved rows of wooden chairs framed a floral lined aisle overflowing with hydrangea, delphinium, dahlias, and garden roses in shades of lavender, coral, blush, and blue. A towering floral installation bursting with ranunculus, roses, and trailing greenery by Amy Burke Design rose behind the couple as they exchanged vows against the open Napa sky. Madeline carried a cascading bouquet of pink cymbidium orchids that brought a striking editorial edge to the romantic garden palette, while bridesmaids in blush satin carried bouquets layered with peach, coral, and lavender blooms. Alyssa Lizarraga captures the celebration with a soft, editorial perspective, drawing out the warmth of Napa’s golden summer light alongside the vibrant color and emotion woven throughout the day.

The celebration continued outdoors across the lawn beneath glowing bistro lights, where long feasting tables and candlelit rounds overlooked the distant Napa hills. Rentals by Encore Events Rentals layered the space with refined textures and warm details, while lush centerpieces overflowing with dahlias, zinnias, peonies, roses, and sweet peas carried the color story through the reception. Guests drifted between dinner, dancing, and playful moments at the booth by Kingdom Photobooth as the evening settled over wine country.

As sunset faded into evening, the lawn transformed into a glowing open air celebration filled with candlelight, laughter, and raised glasses beneath the Napa sky. The result was a wedding that felt vibrant, elevated, and beautifully connected to the spirit of wine country in late summer.
