From the Bride:One of the main reasons we chose Auberge Du Soleil as our wedding destination, besides it's obvious beauty was that they literally took care of EVERYTHING. The entire staff was an absolute dream to work with. Is all we had to do was show up and have a great time. They also have an incredible in house, day-of coordinator that is included in the fee and she was phenomenal. I could not have imagined a more perfect day.

I used the diamond from my mother's ring. She passed away when I was a child and we really wanted to include the memory of her in some way.

When we started planning our wedding our number one priority was to make it as low stress as possible. We wanted to enjoy the day and we wanted to be able to enjoy the company of our guests, which is why we only invited 20 of our closest friends and family. With all honestly, if we had to do it over again, we would change a single thing.In addition to some Arian and Chris-specific Mad Libs, designed by August Press, to fill out at dinner, each guest was given homemade jam from Arian's new jam company, Sweet Lady Cook.

Our main priorities were to have an amazing venue, food and photography. Because we were on a tight budget we splurged in these areas and cut back in others that were less important to us, but we think it all came together beautifully. You don't have to spend $100K to have a fabulous wedding :)
