Gold + Red Wedding Inspiration on Valentine’s Day

gold and red

What’s more perfect for Valentine’s Day then lots of pretty gold + red inspiration! The inspiration for this shoot was found at the fabulous venue, Kunde Family Estates in Sonoma, CA. When Amanda from Amanda O’Shannessy Creative first saw the Dunfillan Ruins, she knew she just had to set-up a ceremony in that space. The team wanted to show that even though winter in wine country isn’t as bright and lush as it is in the summer, there’s a dark, moody air about it that can be just as romantic…

Amanda: When I closed my eyes the first thing that I envisioned was a gold glitter ombre ceremony backdrop. I wanted the lightness and sparkle of the backdrop to really pop against the dark gray stone walls of the ruins. I chose to outfit the rest of the ceremony space with neutral lounge furniture from our One True Love Vintage Rentals collection.

We carried these ceremony elements – gold embellishments, textured linen fabrics, dark, moody florals, and rich wood tones – throughout the rest of the shoot.
