Daniah & Samuel

Napa, California

2025

There’s something special about wine country in late Summer and this weekend for Daniah and Samuel was no exception.

Leaning into the modern architecture at Stanly Ranch we designed paper materials that had clean lines and finishes while adding in the softness with our pleated japanese paper.

After the nuptials guests dined in the Cutting Lawn surrounded by a floral meadow showcasing seasonal blooms. The meadow was our impactful moment and visual focus, we didn’t want any other distracting elements so opted for clean fabrics and stoneware for the tabletop.

Stanly Ranch takes a modern spin on quintessential Napa Valley and we wanted the event design to reflect that perspective.

Seasonal floral mounds full of texture were highlighted from ceremony through to the dancing area.

An asian meets california inspired dinner al fresco through sunset, guests enjoyed paired wines over an excessive amount of candlelight.
