A Formal Outdoor Destination Wedding in Napa, California

For their October 8, 2011, wedding, Jessica and Andrew Nigrelli wed in a very special spot: the same place where they got engaged 14 months earlier. And like the beauty of California's Napa Valley, where they held their destination wedding, the sentimental touches came naturally.

Andrew gave Jessica diamond drop earrings to wear with her dress.

A lightblue swatch of fabric embroidered with the couple's wedding date surrounded by a grape-inspired design, was sewn into Andrew's Canali suit jacket.

Bridesmaids carried hydrangeas, dahlias, garden roses, lisianthus, trailing clematis, and lamb's ears. The soft shades reflected followed the couple's color palette.

The couple's nieces took pictures with Jessica before the ceremony.

Andrew posed with his groomsmen, who wore gray J.Crew suits, with Zegna ties.

Before the ceremony, Andrew and Jessica reunited on the golf course where he proposed. For both the bride and the groom, it was the highlight of the day.

All smiles: the bride snapped pics with her proud parents.

Before the service, guests sipped sparkling water, iced tea, and lemonade.

One hundred of Jessica and Andrew's family and friends gathered for the late-afternoon service.

Jessica and Andrew wed under a canopy of white roses and greenery.

The clean, classic ceremony program, printed by A Day in May, was adorned with a simple gray ribbon.

All eyes were on the bride she and her father made their way down the aisle to a string quartet's rendition of "My Girl." The song holds significance for the pair -- it was playing when Andrew proposed.

Jessica and Andrew recited custom vows at their ceremony and a close friend read a blessing.

After making it official, the joyful newlyweds walked hand-in-hand back up the aisle.

Photographer Lisa Lefkowitz took photos of the lovebirds around the ceremony site after the service.

Florist Kathleen Deery created a tufted bar using bold fabric. The drinks on offer were siplayed on slices of tree wood.

Natural wood furniture with crisp white pillows provided extra seating during the cocktail hour.

Befitting of the lush surroundings, calligraphed escort cards were placed on a bed of moss encased in rustic trays.

In lieu of a traditional guest book, Jessica and Andrew's loved ones wrote special notes and well wishes on large bottles of locally produced Duckhorn wine. Another vineyard touch? The newlyweds gave each couple in attendance an engraved Simon Pearce coaster that read "Jessica and Andrew, October 8, 2011, Napa Valley."

The clear plastic sides of the classic tent allowed guests to take in the beautiful scenery of Napa Valley. The structure was framed with small topiaries.

Beaded wood chandeliers and draped fabric provided soft lighting from above while lustrous linens illuminated the tables.

Arrangements of tulips, hydrangeas, roses, and lamb's ears were surrounded by small glass votives.

A simple white bloom was placed on top of every napkin, in which a letterpressed menu was slipped. The cards bore each guest's name calligraphed by Michele Papineau and outlined the feast prepared by Meadowood. The meal included a trio of tomato dishes (a tower of heirlooms, basil panzanella, and a gazpacho shooter); grilled beef tenderloin with zucchini croquettes and cabernet-sauvignon jus or pan-roasted halibut with Dungeness crab, sweet corn soubise, and lemon butter; and, of course, a towering wedding cake.

The couple chose Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" for their first dance as husband and wife.

Jessica and her dad embraced during their father-daughter dance.

A round tiered cake, piped in butter cream and adorned with white flowers, was made by Perfect Endings. And because the groom loves milk with his sweets, shot glasses full of the childhood staple was served with each piece.
