Napa Romance: Maria & Tyler’s Heartfelt Celebration at The Estate Yountville
October 21, 2023
On a golden October day – Maria and Tyler celebrated their love story in the serene beauty of Yountville, Napa, surrounded by vineyards, elegance, and deeply personal moments that made their wedding day unforgettable. Their venue, the stunning The Estate Yountville, set the perfect stage for a refined yet intimate gathering in wine country.
Maria wore a timeless gown by Danielle Frankel, purchased during a special trip to New York City. “The second I tried it on, I just felt so comfortable—it was effortless and exactly me,” she shares. The gown became an extension of her joy, presence, and grace throughout the day.
Of all the memories from their wedding, Maria holds one closest to her heart: “Our first dance together was the most magical moment,” she says. But it wasn’t just the dance that made the day extraordinary. Tyler’s brother officiated the ceremony, and Maria’s walk down the aisle with both her parents added a beautiful layer of meaning. “We made space for moments that were deeply personal to us,” she explains. “That’s what made it so special.”
The celebration was masterfully captured by photographer Ali Beck, with Sarah Davis documenting each emotion on film. Planning by Sophia Goff brought it all together, complemented by florals from Unwritten Florals, catering by The Estate Yountville, and a cake by Fear the Feast.
Wanting to honor the sentiment woven into her gown, Maria chose to have it professionally cleaned and preserved. “It’s so special to me—I wanted it to stay in perfect condition,” she shares. She entrusted Elegance Preserved with the task after reading glowing reviews. “I knew they would treat my dress with care and respect.”
Now lovingly safeguarded in one of their signature Wedding Dress Preservation Boxes, Maria’s dress remains a beautiful memento of a day filled with love, laughter, and lifelong memories.
