Charles Krug Winery: Rustic Italian Inspiration



One of the most naturally beautiful Napa Valley wedding venues is the amazing Charles Krug Winery! Full of fabulous ceremony and reception locations, Charles Krug has an organic and raw simplicity that creates this European meets magical forest world all their own. For this gorgeous wedding, the bride wanted that organic simplicity to shine through the design, florals and food.
“Food was really important to the couple. So they went with Paula le Duc Catering, which is the french laundry of catering! The service is bar none and it’s just fabulous food. And Paula is just wonderful,” shares wedding planner Kathy Higgins.




Delightful Design

The sweet handmade and unique design of this wedding was a mesh between the organic and natural feel the bride desired, and using fun and creative pieces like the Etsy place-cards and veggies in the floral arrangements. The bride found the fun menus and place-cards, which creatively displayed the dish each guest had chosen (fish, beef, etc.), on Etsy. This tied in the “playful” part of the design that the bride desired, and blended well with the organic/natural feel of the venue and other design elements (including the standout birchwood chuppah in the ceremony above!).
