Rooted in the modern architecture of Los Milics, a boutique winery, the wedding embraced a European sensibility with warm-textured seating and intentionally artistic florals in a confident pop of color against an otherwise minimalist palette.

A floral and wine escort display, statement bar and curated paper goods seamlessly evoked a sophisticated-yet-approachable aesthetic.
