Picture Perfect Petals shared a bit about Tara and Kevins wedding -

Tara & Kevin's wedding was held at a beautiful venue called Solage an Auberge Resort located in Calistoga. The wedding ceremony took place on a grass lawn. Tara's vision was to keep things chic and elegant using all clear/crystal glass rentals for both the ceremony and reception. 

Tall elegant florals on clear glass vases & stands welcomed the guests. A beautifully decorated sofreh stage holding crystal glass candelabras stood on each side of a lush floral spray. 

Clear glass candlesticks adorned the guest tables with glowing candlelight. Everything was absolutely stunning! 

The best part was seeing the gleam of joy and happiness on Tara's face as she fell in love with her florals. One of Tara's favorite flowers are peonies. They were incorporated into her bridal bouquet and wedding cake. 

A memory from the day Tara will cherish forever is her father daughter dance to the song "you're my best friend" by Queen as she grew up listening to many of Queen's songs with her dad. Tara's one piece of advice to brides planning would be "try to zoom out of the planning process and ensure you're having fun! The day will be perfect regardless if not every single details turns out the way you planned." The couple was grateful to be surrounded by friends and family who traveled from near and far, the day was simply unforgettable.
