This week's real wedding was sent to me by the talented Cooper Carras, and not only was I excited because it's beautiful and looks like a ton of fun, but I was also flattered because the bride, Brittany, is a daily reader of Snippet & Ink and she specifically asked Cooper to share these with us! How fun is that! And as if the venue wasn't special enough, the weather could not possibly have provided a more beautiful day.
The afternoon wedding took place at the Meadwood Resort in Napa.
Rings by Diamond Connection.
Hair and makeup by the Bella Capelli Salon in Napa, 707-226-2061.
Brittany wore a beautiful necklace from Tiffany & Co.
The flowers were done by Friday Flowers.
The bridesmaids wore fabulous print dresses by Kay Unger.
As Brittany walked down the aisle, her a capella group sang "At Last" by Etta James.
Brittany's dress was from Casablanca Bridal and her veil was handmade by Michael's mother. Brittany chose to use peonies because they were the same flower that her grandmother used at her wedding.
After the ceremony, guests helped themselves to a luncheon buffet, catered by the Meadowood Resort.
The cake was by Perfect Endings and had layers of carrot cake and apricot cream cake.
In lieu of dancing, guests were invited to play croquet after lunch. For a picture-perfect game, everyone on the croquet lawn wore whites and khakis.
Congratulations Brittany and Michael, and thank you so much for sharing your beautiful wedding day with us! And a huge thank you to Cooper for sending over these incredible photos!

Real Wedding Shorts: Danielle & James get married in Overland Park, Kansas.
from the 1936 Yiddish film YIDL MITN FIDL.
This was filmed once again in Kazimierz, Poland, using local inhabitants as extras. It took over thirty consecutive hours to film, and the food had to be kosher of course as the locals used were all Orthodox Jews. As the filming went on, they ate, and for the successive shots of the table the food had to be replenished. The poverty stricken guests just couldn't understand what was happening, as they thought they had been invited to a real wedding. When one woman asked why so much food they explained that it wasn't a real wedding - only a film. It is possible she had never seen a film, for she said: "Why didn't you tell me that before? With so much food, I could have brought my daughter to get married for real. She has a chassen (bridegroom) but we have no money for a dowry to make a proper wedding." Molly suspected her husband (Jacob Kalich) may have given the woman the money, as later she smiled at Picon and said "Are you lucky to have such a rich husband."
It's a sobering thought to think what would have happened to these people only a few short years later.
