A Wedding Weekend Inspired by California Sunsets & the Italian Countryside, Someplace Upstate
Some weddings aren’t just a single day—they unfold over a weekend, creating space for connection, celebration, and unforgettable memories. Aubrey & Sam’s wedding was just that. Their vision combined the warmth of a California sunset with the charm of the Italian countryside, bringing together their closest family and friends for a weekend filled with meaning, beauty, and intentional details.

A Weekend Rooted in Togetherness
From the start, Aubrey & Sam wanted their wedding to feel like a true gathering—a time to slow down, share meals, and celebrate with the people who matter most. Their weekend began with an intimate poolside rehearsal dinner, where long communal tables encouraged conversation and connection.
With a deep appreciation for incredible food, they partnered with Promises Kept Hudson Valley to create a menu that reflected their love of seasonal flavors and family-style dining. The meal wasn’t just about the food itself—it was about the experience of sharing, passing plates, and creating memories around the table.
Design That Told Their Story
Aubrey & Sam wanted every detail to feel intentional, weaving personal touches into the design of their celebration. Inspired by their love of art and architecture, their floral arrangements designed by Jūra, were created to resemble museum installations—sculptural, organic, and designed to feel like they belonged in the landscape.
Beyond the florals, custom graphics were woven throughout the wedding weekend, from the invitations to the signage, creating a cohesive and immersive experience. Every element felt connected, bringing their vision to life in a way that was uniquely theirs.
One of the most meaningful moments of the night wasn’t part of the decor at all—it was a film playing in the background of the reception, capturing the moment they got their marriage license. A surprise for their guests, this deeply personal touch allowed loved ones to step into their journey in a way that felt heartfelt and unforgettable.
A Night to Remember
As the sun dipped below the horizon, guests transitioned into cocktail hour by the pool, where they could sip, mingle, and take in the stunning surroundings. An outdoor dinner followed, where candlelit tables, flowing wine, and the sound of laughter made the night feel intimate and full of life.
As the evening continued, guests gathered under the tent, where music, dancing, and endless joy carried the celebration into the night.
This wasn’t just a wedding—it was a weekend filled with love, warmth, and moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Aubrey & Sam’s wedding weekend was a true reflection of who they are, what they love, and the people they cherish most. Every choice—from the thoughtful design elements to the unforgettable guest experiences—was made with care.
