A Brilliant Wedding: Julie and Hayden

Julie and Hayden, two Australians originally from Sydney and Adelaide, were married on a sunny January day at Solage Calistoga Resort in Napa Valley, California, which was the perfect spot for their intimate and sleek wedding. In a room filled with white linen-draped chairs and fresh calla lilies, Julie, who looked stunning in her short, white dress and elegant birdcage veil, walked down the aisle to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".  Following their lovely afternoon ceremony, guests were greeted by tables that were simply decorated with crystal vases containing calla lilies and hand-calligraphed menus and enjoyed a truly spectacular lunch.  Julie is a die-hard foodie and wanted only the best foods at her reception, so guests were treated to a huge roasted pig, salmon tartar on crispy wontons, buttermilk fried chicken and parmigiano and thyme Risotto, and California’s best artisan cheeses. After indulging in all of these fabulous foods, family and friends toasted to the couple's love-filled future and watched them share their first dance to the song “Everything” by Michael Buble.  Congratulations, Julie and Hayden! We were thrilled to have their wedding featured this week on Style Me Pretty.
