Patricia & Shaikh's Italian-Inspired Summer Villa Montalvo Wedding

Villa Montalvo, Saratoga

Summer

Inspired by the Italianate architecture of Villa Montalvo, design elements were selected that would reflect the Mediterranean spirit throughout our entire event. Hand-painted chargers reminiscent of painted tiles with watercolor oranges were chosen, mirrored by the cutest kumquat clusters in the centerpieces. The theme of our florals was easy breezy, abounding with delicate twirling floral vines and organic shapes. We also incorporated cane-backed chairs, woven lanterns, and coastal lounge seating for a laid-back vibe.

Delna & Patrick's Bridgerton-Inspired Villa Montalvo Wedding

Villa Montalvo, Saratoga
- AS SEEN ON STYLE ME PRETTY -

Autumn

When Delna & Patrick were first planning their wedding for spring of 2020, the world was in a different place and we had a different design planned for their wedding. A few design iterations later, Delna & Patrick were married in the fall of 2021, surrounded by their closest friends and family at the gorgeous estate of Villa Montalvo. With the shift of season and the release of Bridgerton (which Delna loved), we landed on a palette that brought out the best of autumn in rich golds and dusty pinks, accented by a touch of blue a la Bridgerton. We wanted the overall design to feel romantic but effortless, blending seamlessly with the grand architecture of Villa Montalvo while maintaining a lighthearted atmosphere.

Julie & Creighton's Effortlessly Romantic Villa Montalvo Wedding

Villa Montalvo, Saratoga

I started working with Julie to plan and design her wedding approximately one month before her wedding date - her busy work schedule had kept her from having the time to freely plan her wedding until one month prior, and she was in desperate need of professional assistance. Within that month, we worked together to bring together design elements and a vendor team that would bring Julie’s vision for an elegant and romantic yet effortless celebration of their marriage at the historic Villa Montalvo. The result was an absolute dream!
