Rustic Glow and Quiet Intimacy at Flying Cloud

On a crisp October afternoon, Kristina and Chris celebrated their wedding at Flying Cloud in Petaluma, California. Set within the venue’s rustic barn, their day unfolded beneath wooden beams strung with soft lights, casting a golden glow that made the celebration feel intimate and inviting.

​

Kristina’s bridal look set the tone with a lace gown detailed in delicate floral embroidery and a flowing tulle skirt that moved effortlessly as the evening unfolded. The design leaned into cozy autumn charm. Reception tables were styled with wooden slice centerpieces, vintage cut-glass goblets, and elegant table numbers, while florals by California Sister layered white roses, airy greenery, and dried textures that felt perfectly at home in the barn setting. A thoughtful “to have and to hold” blanket station welcomed guests as the night cooled.

As music filled the space, guests gathered beneath the glow of string lights for an evening of dancing and celebration. Elise Aileen Photography portrayed the day with warmth and sensitivity, from soft getting-ready moments with bridesmaids in shades of blue to romantic portraits framed by the barn’s character and personal details that made the day unmistakably theirs.

Kristina and Chris’s wedding was a heartfelt blend of rustic beauty, personal style, and autumn warmth, a celebration rooted in connection and joy in the Petaluma countryside.
