Sun-Drenched Fall Revelry at Beaulieu Garden

Virginia and Chandler’s love story unfolded beneath the golden glow of October at Beaulieu Garden, where sprawling oak trees, waterfront views, and rich autumn color created a celebration that felt both timeless and unmistakably Napa Valley.

​

The ceremony took place beneath the estate’s iconic canopy of moss draped oaks, where guests gathered on the lawn overlooking the water as a live trio filled the air with soft music. Virginia made her entrance carrying a bouquet of white peonies, roses, and ranunculus that stood in luminous contrast to the jewel toned floral installation suspended above the ceremony space. Layers of amber, mauve, terracotta, coral, and green blooms cascaded from the branches overhead, framing the couple beneath the autumn light as they exchanged vows. Mark Williams Studio approaches the celebration with an editorial eye for movement, atmosphere, and the sweeping beauty of the setting.

Cocktail hour spilled across the estate grounds as guests sipped spicy pineapple margaritas and wandered through the gardens while the sky softened into shades of blush and lavender. Catering by Paula LeDuc Fine Catering & Events carried the evening with an elevated wine country dining experience, while rentals by Amazing Event Rentals, Curated Events Charleston, and Nuage Design layered the reception with sage velvet linens, warm wood textures, candlelight, and statement chandeliers draped in greenery.

​

As the evening unfolded, the celebration shifted into a high energy reception with live music carrying guests onto the dance floor from the very first song. Beneath the glow of string lights and candlelight, Virginia and Chandler closed out the night with a joyful waterfront send off before departing by yacht, ending the celebration in a way that felt cinematic, spirited, and entirely their own.
