Set in a St. Helena apple orchard, this lighthearted wedding captured the colors and vibes of summer.

After an eight-year relationship, Roy and Rebekah decided on a relaxing, slightly fancier-than-a-dinner-party wedding that blended their country girl and city boy backgrounds. The country part came in with succulents dripping in gold, dried flowers dyed in a modern palette of saturated blues and greens, vintage accents, and a barn dance; great local food, wine, and cocktails represented for the city.

Out-of-state guests arrived via yellow school bus after spending a relaxing weekend in St. Helena, which Roy and Rebekah planned as a special opportunity for friends to mingle and explore Napa Valley before the big day. The newlyweds hosted breakfast each morning in the hotel courtyard with locally roasted coffee and fresh pastries from Calistoga Roastery, as well as a Saturday night welcome dinner catered by Mitchell's Taco Truck.

Rebekah made a bold move choosing a vivid yellow cocktail dress, while Roy added his own personal flair with a vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso watch, the same kind Don Draper wore in Mad Men. Together, the couple walked down the aisle as they skipped over other prim and formal wedding traditions — tequila shots instead of a Champagne toast, s'mores instead of a wedding cake, and an iPhone app instead of a live DJ.

The cocktail hour featured fresh oysters shucked to order and French 75s and Sazeracs as guests played lawn games. Keeping with the casual feel, dinner—brick-cooked chicken, local petrale sole, and risotto—was served family style on the lawn. Guests then moved to the barn for a lively dance party that continued well after midnight.
