Rachel & Dan's Villa Montalvo Wedding at the Threshold of Winter and Spring

Villa Montalvo, Saratoga

Rachel & Dan wanted the concept of their wedding to reflect the beauty of spring emerging from the darkness of winter, as a reflection of their love that bloomed during the pandemic. Set at the historical Villa Montalvo, spring blooms were framed by dark moody plates and soft velvet linens. Our bride, Rachel, wore a two piece set from Emily Riggs, with an unconventional lace top and black skirt. Instead of a first dance, Rachel & Dan performed a first song together - their rendition of i love you by Billie Eilish. Their Montalvo Arts Center wedding was one of our favorites we’ve ever planned, so I hope you enjoy these images!

“Our wedding is happening on the cusp of spring and winter, and its theme is about a kind of dawning happening from the cold, of promise in new blooms.” - from the bride, Rachel
