If you’ve ever swooned over those dreamy weddings in Tuscany, Sunstone Villa brings that same magic to California. Its stone walls, sunlit courtyards, and old-world charm make it a little slice of Italy perfect for a romantic celebration. To complement this ambiance, we chose a timeless white and green palette but refreshed it with a modern twist. We also reimagined the entertainment to create memorable moments that felt authentic: croquet on the lawn for daytime fun and a cozy movie night with popcorn to cap off the evening. This editorial was pure joy from start to finish!
Sunstone Villa is one of California's most coveted venues. With its stunning landscapes and charming old-world architecture, this picturesque location provided an idyllic backdrop for our latest editorial shoot, capturing the essence of romance and elegance.
We opted for exquisite diamond jewelry from Stephanie Gotlieb for the utmost sparkling and allure. These luxurious pieces elevated the overall aesthetic and brought a touch of opulence that complemented the enchanting surroundings.
Sunstone Villa was constructed using artifacts and materials from French châteaus and villages. The villa boasts eight fireplaces, a billiards room, and numerous terraces and patios offering stunning mountain and vineyard views. With five master suites, each featuring a private bath and luxurious linens, there's no shortage of beautiful spaces for bridal and groom preparations perfect for sharing those unforgettable pre-wedding moments with your closest friends.
The ceremony took place in the vineyard under a legendary oak tree adorned with an asymmetrical floral installation cascading down the trunk. The aisle decor featured lush clusters of white flowers and fresh greenery framing the ceremony space. The overall floral design by Studio Anonimi felt organic and intentional, complementing the earthy tones of the vineyard backdrop and bringing a modern twist.
We are thrilled to showcase the breathtaking gowns from the iconic brand Galia Lahav, known for their unparalleled designs and impeccable tailoring. These stunning dresses have enchanted brides around the globe, and our shoot aims to highlight their unique beauty and artistry, bringing dreams to life.
To ensure a memorable guest experience, we curated a fabulous cocktail bar where everyone could indulge in delightful drinks.
As the sun set and the evening fell, guests gathered to watch a romantic movie on a big screen with popcorn for that snug, cinema-like feel. It's such a great and memorable way to wrap up the day with your loved ones. And imagine how perfect it is for those warm summer nights!
