Vintage Wine Country Wedding

We stopped in our tracks when we saw bride Nina’s Vera Wang little number. It’s the perfect mix of vintage glam, chic elegance, and sleek style — and it couldn’t possibly be better suited to her! Christina Diane Photography captured this wine country affair at the amazing Barndiva in Healdsburg, featuring every shade of pink to perk up your Monday.

From the photographer, Christina Diane: “Relaxed wine country elegance” with a focus on fun over pomp/formality. The source of inspiration is Sonoma itself. Nina’s mom has owned a home near Glen Ellen since 1999 & both Nina and Jordan’s brother & sister were married in Sonoma as well. The romantic landscape and great weather sets the tone for the inspiration of their wedding. The couple incorporated simple and elegant hand made details like the ceremony program using vintage fabric; they used local handmade soap as their favor for all their guest; floral details were also important to the couple and had gorgeous arrangements throughout. The couple really focused on highlighting beautiful details of the wedding venue with incorporating splashes of color throughout.

Barndiva was a perfect setting for them because of the combined indoor/outdoor space, centrality in Healdsburg with top accommodations/scenery& the funky artsy vibe which fits them perfectly. Nina & Jordan are long time friends with the head bartender at Spoonbar/H2Hotel (renowned for his artisanal cocktails), which also has beautifully designed indoor/outdoor space. The two venues are next to each other and work closely together so it was an intimate setting for us where we felt at home. Also, having proper supply of beverages and food is critical to guest enjoyment and we felt we were in good hands with Barndiva & Spoonbar.

The rustic natural look of the wedding just made the atmosphere even more romantic. I never thought that pink can go well with the rustic concept but amazingly, it brightened everything up. It has an understated elegance that is just right for the venue. Vintage wine country elegance! From the invitation up to the reception set up.

Her dress is beautiful! And I love the wide wooden tables, such a great way to bring everyone together and avoid the awkward seat assignments.
