Elegant Brasswood Events Wedding » St. Helena, California » Erin Prado for VCP

Tessa and Race’s summer wine country wedding was an elegant celebration, even amid a sweltering heat wave. The day began at Indian Hot Springs, where Tessa, surrounded by her bridesmaids, shared moments of joy and bubbly champagne. The excitement heightened as Tessa and Race shared their first look in the vineyards at Brasswood, where tears were shed, and tender kisses exchanged. To beat the heat, guests relied on parasols and fans as the couple exchanged vows beneath the sun. Afterward, guests enjoyed refreshing drinks and appetizers, mingling before the multi-course dinner in Brasswood’s main courtyard, strung with cozy cafe lights. The evening was filled with heartfelt toasts, followed by the cake cutting ceremony. As the sun dipped behind the horizon, Tessa and Race sneaked away for some intimate sunset portraits among the lush vineyards. As the night continued, the dance party moved indoors, where the couple celebrated with their first dance, followed by a lively horah, creating memories they’ll cherish forever.
