So back to our California trip...after we finished our drive over the Golden Gate Bridge...we arrived in Sonoma early Friday afternoon and I was instantly in love with the charming town...(Whit was already in love because he had already been there, but was so excited to be back!) The beautiful vineyards and rolling hills were more picturesque than I could have ever imagined. It was a beautiful, sunny day in Sonoma and Whit and I couldn't wait to see more...
After a relaxing drive we arrived at our beautiful hotel, MacArthur Place...
 |
 |
| It was absolutely gorgeous...and a very serene, peaceful place to stay... |
 |
| Our lovely room...we felt like we were special guests in someone's home, it was so nice and cozy! After a little rest at MacArthur Place, we got ready for the rehearsal dinner at Cline Cellars... |
 |
| The beautiful invitation... |
 |
| The tasting room at Cline :) |
 |
| We shared in a gorgeous cocktail hour in the garden at Cline and they had the most beautiful glasses that we all just loved (especially my Aunt, Lolo) :) |
 |
| Whit loved the donkey that was on the grounds :) So cute! |
 |
| After cocktail hour, we entered the Barrel Room where the dinner was going to be held... The walls were all lined from floor to ceiling with beautiful wine barrels highlighted with candlelight... |
 |
| The room was breathtaking...we were in awe! The pictures do not even do it justice... |
 |
| Family :) |
 |
| Beautiful centerpieces :) |
 |
| I LOVED how they chose to use the "Donnelly Crest" on the menu cards... |
 |
| Beautiful candlelight... |
 |
| The dinner was absolutely delicious, and after dinner, we all received a little plate of assorted desserts. I loved the creme brûlée in the little cups! So cute! The rehearsal dinner was absolutely gorgeous and such a touching tribute to the beautiful couple, Ryan and Erin! And when we returned to our room at MacArthur Place, our bed was turned down and we received these on our pillows... |
 |
| Delicious chocolates and a "weather card" telling us what kind of weather to expect the next day...We LOVED that! Although it did not rain one drop on their wedding day! It was absolutely gorgeous! :) After a sweet, elegant rehearsal dinner we were so excited to be in Sonoma to celebrate Erin and Ryan and couldn't wait for their big day! Coming up next... our California trip comes to an end and we share in Erin and Ryan's Unforgettable Wedding Under the Stars... Stay Tuned! xo! |
