Okay, so you've squashed the idea of the big "to do" summer soiree, and
have decided on an intimate, just for two, courthouse wedding.
Sweet. So, if you're the no frills, non-traditional kinda of bride;
looking for a budget friendly, simple dress that hints or rather whispers a little bit of
"blushing bride to be" for your upcoming nuptials, look no
further....How about <b><a href="http://www.massimodutti.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/duttiil/en/30259452/310039/384098/BROCADE%2BDRESS">this</a></b>
darling little cotton, brocade dress for your summer, courthouse
wedding? I'm picturing "morning nuptials" with a little champagne
breakfast to follow....</div>

Well, hello dear <i>little winter bride</i> readers.........it's been a little while but now that LWB has settled into a <a href="http://www.houseofvioletta.com/2012/05/new-city-new-life.html" target="_blank"><b>new city</b>,</a> there's plenty to share with you all. In addition to the new city, I've been busy as a bee working on a <i>newish</i> project, (I say "newish" cause it's been an under the radar project for some time now but finally coming into a new phase that I'm excited to share with you all) hence why posts have come to a halt here on LWB. It's almost ready to share, so stay tuned. Also, I've been spending more time over at the lifestyle blog, <b><a href="http://www.houseofvioletta.com/" target="_blank">House of Violetta</a></b>, so be sure to pop on over there for your frequent daily\weekly updates of life as an expat in Italy. In the meantime, I stumbled upon this elegant, fancy pants wedding dress (see above pic) in a shop window here in Bologna, isn't the back, <i>stunning</i>? Feast your eyes on some of the other lovely wedding gowns from this shop over <b><a href="http://www.toscaspose.it/" target="_blank">here</a></b>.</div>

So it's been a little quiet over here on LWB and there is a BIG and good reason for that......................<br />
Today, I thought it was the perfect time to explain my lack of posts these past couple of months and share some magical news with you all. As you could probably read from the illustration caption above, A. and I are expecting our first little bebe this August! Yay! It's been 5 months so far and we've been enjoying every minute of this pregnancy ride, even those first 3 months when I felt, well, bad. very bad. But extremely happy at the same time. We can't wait to meet the little one this summer, as we both have been <b><a href="http://littlewinterbride.blogspot.it/2011/07/ciao-ciao.html" target="_blank">waiting for this very moment for a long time </a> </b>and feel so lucky to experience it. In addition to our new bebe on the way, we're also preparing for a BIG move to a <b><a href="http://www.houseofvioletta.com/2012/03/around-neighborhood.html" target="_blank">new city</a></b> at the end of April. It's gotten pretty interesting lately, busy prepping for some big life adventures ahead......................</div>

Spring is HERE! A romantic setting of pale pink ranunculus with accents of variegated
begonia leaves on a grey table cloth would be lovely for your intimate Springtime wedding. Your table arrangements don't have to be so <i>complicated</i>. Try simple, singular stems in a variety of missed matched glass bottles and bud vases. Not only might this idea be lighter on your wallet, it could also be D.I.Y project you could do with the help of your friends and family. To see more of this flower arrangement shoot go <b><a href="http://www.houseofvioletta.com/2012/03/first-day-of-spring.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>.</div>

Except for that thirteen pounder in my fridge. But I'm not fretting, as this year it's gonna be a quiet one, not our usual big American-Italian bash. Tomorrow, it will be turkey for two, a whole lotta turkey that is. My chicken guy couldn't get me a smaller bird, so I guess it's turkey till April. So American peeps all around, have a happy thanksgiving and I shall see you at LWB next week.<br />

At sunset, guests made their way through the garden paths and old ruin to the front lawn, where they dined and danced the night away. And I mean, there was some <i>serious</i> dancing going on, along with some AH-mazing music played by the reception band, Busta Groove. The dance floor was packed, the <i>whole</i> night, with a few peeps taking breaks for photo booth sessions, which was hilariously fun. The scene was enchanting, bistro lights strung across the reception area, peacock feathers served as table numbers, mini baguettes in paper bags that not only served as menus but also as place cards for each guest and instead of flowers, Kira opted for lemons, purple figs and mint in terracotta urns. It was GORG. And who needs flowers when you hosting a wedding smack in the middle of beautiful nature? It was quite the wedding. But I'll let the bride fill you in with more fine details on the planning of this glorious day.<br />
<br />
<u><b>From the Bride</b></u><i>: <span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">"The first thing I learned was that Wine Country (specifically Napa/Sonoma) was wedding central and we didn't want to design a day that felt in any way expected or typical. Most of our guests were traveling from the east coast and we wanted to give them a taste of thing things we love most about wine country, while throwing a wedding that didn't feel like every other wedding they had attended. Having been to what felt like 5,000 weddings by the time I got engaged, I knew fairly well the things I was interested in including, what elements of weddings/events I have found interesting and memorable, what I've found boring and overdone, and what simply didn't matter and could be eliminated all together. Starting with the 'dinner party' concept, we began hunting for the right venue. We quickly dismissed all of the vineyards/wineries that pop up on the wedding resources - they tend to be more restrictive with their vendors and we knew we didn't want to go the traditional route. A friend of ours connected us with a vacation property broker in the valley and we ended up booking the first private vacation home we saw. It was absolutely stunning, unique and romantic. It offered different experiences within the same property - allowing us to design a look and feel for the ceremony and cocktails and a completely different experience for the reception. While this property was absolutely perfect, it was just that. Property. We had to bring EVERYTHING in - from lighting to toilet facilities. It was going to be a busy year. Given the importance of food, we started with the caterer. We ended up hiring a caterer who was spends a great deal of time as a private chef in the valley and takes his food very seriously. Food (and wine) is incredibly important to us and was a priority and focus during the planning process. We started with the menu and let everything revolve around the food. We knew we wanted to serve family style on each table, allowing a variety of taste and choices for our guests, while creating that intimate dinner party feel. The table design, the flowers (or lack thereof) and the music fell into places once the menu was set, and then we just had fun with the details. One of my favorite parts of the wedding was planning the music. We saw the wedding as four parts; Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Reception and After Party. We had very specific music ideas for each, but none so special as the music we had for the ceremony. The day we got engaged, I called one of my childhood friends (we grew up on the same street and have been as close as family for the past 28 years). She had spent many years rocking the saxophone in various jazz bands and I knew she was the only one for the part. This was my little surprise for my husband, planning for exactly a year (via skype between SF and Hawaii) the right music for the occasion. As soon as Bill was standing at the front of the ceremony, she played the bridal party in to her jazzy rendition of "Someone To Watch Over Me". I still get chills thinking about it and I can't think of anything more romantic or special to begin the most important 20 minutes of our lives. It was pretty incredible. And this leads me to the ceremony, which I think was the most challenging and clearly most important part of this entire experience. </span></i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br />
Unfortunately most blogs/wedding resources don't spend much time talking about the ceremony. This could be due to the role religion plays in wedding (most couples, I imagine, are getting married in the church/temple and the ceremony is pretty much set and standard). Since we were having a nonreligious ceremony, having one of our closest friends officiate, and writing the entire ceremony ourselves, it was up to us to create the words, vows and readings. I'm biased, but I think the ceremony was spectacular. It just felt like US. We laughed, we cried, our dog rolled around on my feet during my vows (I lost my place) and we celebrated. Our bridal party (and I hesitate to even use the term) was small and only included those closest to us. Bill has two sons from his previous marriage, both of whom were his best men. His brother was his groomsman. My sister was my Matron of Honor and my two best friends (really more like my other sisters) who are themselves sisters, were the bridesmaids (or as I referred to them, Bridal People). And of course our dog, Archie. Our sister in law read a passage from Shakespeare's 'As You Like It' and my other childhood friend (the sister of our saxophonist) read from "The Velveteen Rabbit". Prior to the wedding, our officiant/best friend had privately asked both of us a battery of questions, ranging from the details of our relationships' history (seven years and counting) to our hopes for the future. These details were included in the ceremony and shared with us in front of our family and friends. It was so very special and emotional (thank goodness for waterproof mascara). And one of the most important elements of the wedding was my wedding band. My mother, who when marrying my father 40 years ago (!!!!) asked me to get married in her wedding band. While this itself would have been special enough, it was intended to carry on a family tradition. My mother was married in her mother's wedding band and asked that I do the same. It really brought the generations of my family into the fabric of the ceremony and was just so incredibly special to me. I could go on and on about the little details of the ceremony, but for those brides writing your own rules (and writing your own ceremony), just start with basic structure from which you can begin writing, and then just be creative! Our wedding coordinator was incredibly helpful in helping us feather in the little details we just didn't think of (like the officiant letting the guests know they can be seated to asking for the rings). Not big details - but things I didn't think to include as I drafted the sequence of events. As far as readings, I would say just to find words that have deep meaning to you and your partner. And if no words impact you, just don't have readings! There are no rules other than you both saying some version of "I Do". We included the signing of the marriage license as part of the ceremony. It just felt right to have all of our guests witness the importance of finalizing the document that actually married us. It was a really nice moment for everyone. And then once the ceremony had concluded, our saxophonist was brought out one last time, and we were played out to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". Yea, I could do that again."</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i> </i> </div>On a personal note, I so <i>wish</i> we could all get together like this once a year! Srsly. In addition to participating in the big day as a bridal peep, which was the BEST, it was equally special to have the whole week with my BFF, our families and friends in one amazing location. Oh and waking up early the morning of the wedding to meet Kira at the Calistoga Farmers Market to pick and create our bridal party bouquets. It was <i>really</i> special to have that quiet morning together,<i> </i>sipping our morning coffee<i> </i>and giggling that she was getting,<i> MAUIED. </i><br />

They live in Mill Valley, CA and over the years have spent quite a bit of time visiting and exploring Napa Valley, a sort of sanctuary spot that has become very special to them. How could it not, it <i>is</i> super magnificent. And how can one go wrong with wine and wellness? So when it came time to choose a location, Napa was the place. And what an event it was! I don't think you can go wrong with Calistoga in September, there's really no better place for an outdoor wedding full of romance, surrounded by magical nature and days filled with sunny perfection. In addition to the locations natural beauty, this wedding was also <i>truly</i> out of this world fun and oozed <i>so</i> much love, both from the lovebirds and guests. It was magic. The wedding was held on a private estate, outdoors on <i>beautiful</i>, enchanting grounds, surrounded by eucalyptus and oak trees draped in Spanish moss (seeing those oaks, felt like I'd been transported to the deep south, so pretty) The property goes on forever, with intertwining pathways that allow you to wander the various gardens, an old ruin, around a pond, to a tranquil swimming pool situated near a vine covered veranda with a huge stone fire place. Not to mention the majestic views of the vineyard next door and the hillside (which by the way, could have <i>easily</i> been the countryside in Italy it's <i>that</i> similar) So much beauty that I’m having a hard time finding the right words to tell you just how pretty the location was. Not only was the venue a storybook setting, the style of the event matched it too perfection! It was so fitting for Kira and Bill: rustic, modern, romantic, whimsy affair with a whole lot of mellow, happy love. It was the grand yet intimate, elegant dinner party, where guests dined and danced under the bistro lights. It was exactly as the couple envisioned, that small fancy feast with friends and family. But what better way to hear about the fine details then from the bride herself, who so <i>kindly</i> wrote about the the big day. <br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;">In the bride's own words</span>:</u> <span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">"</span><i style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I haven't been planning my wedding since kindergarten. I didn't pick a date based on seasonality of my favorite bloom. And if I'm being really honest, there were several occasions where a quickie ceremony at City Hall was more than just a quirky notion. So when it came time to begin imagining what this wedding was going to be - the only thing I knew for sure was that I wanted it to feel like an intimate dinner party. I'm not one for the spotlight and this was my husband's second marriage, so neither of us felt like a big splashy event suited us. Since moving from New York City to the SF Bay Area five years ago, we had spent a great deal of time in wine country and knew that if we were going to do this, wine country felt most relaxing and special and most importantly, a place we wanted to share with our family and friends. And so the wedding planning commenced.</i><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">"</span><br />
