Danielle & Ben | Park Winters Wedding Photos| California Countryside Wedding

To say that Ben and Danielle’s luxury country wedding at the absolutely stunning Park Winters wedding venue in Winters, CA was beautiful would not even come close to describing their wedding day. It was a day bursting full of love and joy and celebrating the marriage of two very amazing and wonderful people. Family was the focal point of Ben and Danielle’s Park Winters wedding day. Not only was celebrating their marriage with their family and closest friends a big priority for the couple, but the theme of family touched almost every element of their wedding day from their choice of vendors to their DIY decor. The wedding was chocked full of sweet moments between the couple and those that were closest to them. From Danielle getting ready with her mom to her dance with her new husband and then with her dad, love and joy just radiated from their faces in every photo.

Their choice of wedding venue, Park Winters, was absolutely perfect for them. The sprawling, luxurious garden estate and inn nestled in the Northern California countryside hosted their outdoor ceremony and outdoor reception beautifully and provided a stunning backdrop of gardens, greenery, and a vintage farmhouse style inn.

We are so excited to have had Danielle and Ben’s Park Winters wedding photos published on Rustic Wedding Chic!

We started off the day with some getting ready photos. Danielle got ready for her wedding ceremony with the help of her mom and bridesmaids inside the gorgeous inn at the Park Winters estate. She enjoyed a champagne toast with her mom and some fun moments with her bridesmaids before stepping into her breathtakingly elegant wedding dress. Danielle wore a fitted lace Stella York wedding dress and her bridesmaids wore mismatched dress styles in a dusty rose and soft lavender color palette. For her bouquet and flower decor, Danielle chose white florals with lots of greenery and small pops of crimson.

One of the most special moments of the day was Danielle’s first look with her Dad because of the strong bond that the two share. It was a beautiful moment for the two of them to spend together right before he walked her down the aisle to her future husband. Danielle sweetly described the moment as “such a special moment with just the two of us because I know not only was it a big day for me getting married, but also for him giving me away”.

While Danielle was sharing this special moment with her dad, Ben was having some fun with his groomsmen as he was getting ready for his first look with his bride! Both Ben and all his groomsmen looked fantastic in navy blue suits, dusty rose ties, and brown dress shoes, the perfect pops of color against the gorgeous Park Winters gardens.

For their first look, Danielle came up behind Ben and gave him a big smiling hug. He turned around to see her for the first time in her wedding dress and it was such a happy moment. It is so clear to see the love that the couple shares for each other when you see their first look photos.

The gorgeous fountain and gardens of Park Winters served as the setting for both of these special wedding moments, making them that much more beautiful, don’t you think?

After the first looks, it was ceremony time. Danielle and Ben got married under a huge tree right beside the Park Winters Inn. It was a gorgeous spot for a wedding ceremony and everything Danielle and Ben envisioned. The couple wanted nature to be the key decoration and focal point of their wedding decor. The natural beauty of the Park Winters wedding venue truly made their vision come to life.

After their beautiful ceremony, Danielle and Ben and their bridal party posed for some fun portraits before they headed to the outdoor reception on the Park Winters patio.

Danielle loves design and wanted to do a lot of the details on her own. For their reception decor, she incorporated meaningful items from their lives into beautiful DIY pieces. She crafted their welcome sign from old windows from a family member and constructed their seating chart from old cabinet doors from her family's home. She collected bottles and vases that they already had to house the florals and decor and created a unique "T" shaped container that she planted with succulents herself. Danielle did an amazing job infusing personal and meaningful touches into her DIY designs.

Danielle and Ben found themselves facing the same challenges that many 2020 couples had been facing due to COVID-19 and all that came with it, including a wedding date change and a last minute venue cancellation. But, instead of postponing the wedding or settling for something else, Danielle persevered until she found a new venue that she absolutely loved and knew would fulfill their nature inspired wedding dream! Discovering Park Winters felt like a blessing to the couple when they found that they liked it even more than their original venue. In fact, Danielle described every aspect of her wedding as a blessing.

We are beyond happy for Ben and Danielle and so grateful to have had the privilege to be a part of their Park Winters wedding day. We wish them an amazing future together.
