In honor of our 4th Wedding Anniversary, I thought it would be fun to share all the details of our Napa Wedding! I never shared this information publicly since I didn’t have a blog back in 2014, so what better time than now? In this post, I’m spilling all of the major details including which vendors we worked with. If you know anyone who is thinking of a wine country wedding, be sure to share this with them!

It was the most magical day ever. I love looking back at our photos and reminiscing about this day. Looking back, I wouldn’t have done anything differently. It really was a fairytale wedding, and I wish we could go back and do it all over again. Does anyone else feel that way about their wedding day?
