A Napa Love Story: Gelato, Grace, and a Gown to Remember
August , 2023
Beneath the golden light of an August evening in 2023, Abbie and Sam celebrated their love at the breathtaking V. Sattui Winery in Napa. Surrounded by sun-kissed vineyards, the couple’s special day unfolded like a dream—joyful, stylish, and filled with unforgettable touches that made it uniquely theirs.
Abbie discovered her Jane Hill gown at Kinsley James, and it was love at first sight. “I just saw it on the hanger and fell in love with it!” she recalls. The gown captured her heart instantly, and when the day arrived, it embodied everything she imagined—effortless beauty and grace.
Of all the radiant moments, one stands above the rest: dancing surrounded by family and friends, the energy palpable, the love contagious. With a choreographed dance set to a live band and an Italian chef serving gelato in place of cake, the celebration was both elegant and playfully personal—an evening no one will forget.
Wanting to preserve the magic of her gown for years to come, Abbie chose Elegance Preserved. “Good reviews online,” she says simply, but what followed exceeded expectations. With expert wedding dress cleaning, meticulous preservation, and elegant preservation boxes, Abbie can treasure her gown’s beauty for generations.
