Private Estate - Fairbanks Ranch
September 6, 2008

The Connect: While out with her girlfriends at the Kingston Club, he tried to snag her chair. They struck up a conversation and talked the rest of the evening, and the rest is history.

The Proposal: After about a year of dating, Natalie and Aaron enjoyed a wine tasting vacation through Tuscany. While walking through the picturesque grounds of Castello di Verrazzano Winery, he took her into a private garden and knelt down on one knee under a beautiful old tree and asked for her hand in marriage.

The Celebration: Being a floral designer and working on countless weddings, she truly enjoyed the planning aspect and creating special touches to make their wedding extra special. They loved planning a wonderful intimate party for their friends at a beautiful private estate. They used soft greens, whites and champagne as their color palette and also incorporated several natural outdoor elements. Guests enjoyed tasting bars throughout the gardens and poolside meals prepared by well known chef Barry Layne. Not a detail was missed as the couple enjoyed planning their own wedding. Natalie now has a new appreciation for the planning process.

Natalie’s Advice: “After all is said and done you won’t regret spending money on the items that truly made your wedding special and unique. Enjoy every minute, it will be more special than you imagined.”
