Romantic Summer Garden Soirée at Barndiva

Lena and Matt’s late-summer wedding unfolded at Barndiva, where August light and Sonoma’s garden-laced charm set a naturally romantic tone. The iconic venue, thoughtfully managed with in-house coordination, cuisine, and hospitality by the Barndiva team, transformed into an intimate wine country retreat, layered with twinkling string lights, mature trees, and a palette of soft peach, coral, and blush blooms that felt both lush and ethereal.

​

Beneath a canopy of glowing lights, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by intricate wrought-iron chairs and floral accents designed by Dragonfly Floral. Dahlias, roses, and wildflowers traced the aisle and framed the ceremony with organic elegance, while afternoon sunlight filtered through the leaves, lending the moment a quiet, cinematic warmth. As guests moved into cocktail hour, Barndiva’s celebrated culinary team delighted with artful passed hors d’oeuvres, setting the tone for an evening rooted in beauty and ease.

​

The reception tablescapes carried the romance forward with cascading floral arrangements in peachy-pink tones, punctuated by white pillar candles that flickered softly as night fell. Music by DJ Jeremy Productions kept the energy flowing, while Hazel Photo framed the day with a luminous, emotive perspective that highlighted both grand design and fleeting, intimate moments. Lena and Matt’s Barndiva wedding felt like a love letter to Sonoma County—graceful, garden-inspired, and filled with a kind of romance that lingered long after the final dance.
