There’s something undeniably magical about an end of August wedding in wine country! The golden light, the early fall breezes, the vineyards rich with color and texture. This Trentadue Winery wedding was the traditional wedding day of a beautiful two-part celebration for our couple, and every moment of it felt warm, joyful, and full of meaning. From emotional moments under the redwoods to vibrant florals bursting with personality, this day showcased everything we love about early fall weddings in Sonoma County.
Set against the rolling Alexander Valley, we loved bringing this wedding to life for a couple who valued gorgeous design, effortless guest flow, and a wedding that felt grounded in nature while full of color and energy. And Trentadue delivered in every possible way.
Getting Ready + Beautiful Details at this Trentadue Winery Wedding Day
The Trentadue winery wedding day began with classic, refined details! Elegant white heels, sparkling jewelry, crisp invitations, and a bottle of celebratory bubbles waiting to be popped. The calla lilies and champagne flutes made the perfect styling elements, grounding the morning in simplicity and understated luxury. Her strapless gown was timeless, structured, and stunning — the kind of silhouette that feels modern and classic all at once. His black tux with a boutonnière full of deep fall hues tied the whole palette together seamlessly. Every detail felt intentional.
A First Look Full of Joy
One of our favorite moments of the day was their first look in the courtyard of Trentadue winery. The sunshine wrapped around them, her veil floated effortlessly in the breeze, and their smiles said everything. It was candid, genuine, and so full of emotion — exactly how a first look should feel. The reaction photos of the two of them are some of the sweetest! It was that they had the quiet “just us” moment before the celebration began. We especially love Trentadue Winery for these special locations and moments!
Fall Florals Bursting With Color
The florals created by La Flora Designs were an absolute showstopper. The palette blended the very best of early fall: rich burgundy dahlias, buttery garden roses, soft peach blooms, and pops of bright pinks and reds for depth and dimension. It felt seasonal without being traditional — bold, fresh, and full of personality. The bridesmaids matched the vibe perfectly in deep wine tones, each holding lush bouquets that tied into the overall color story beautifully. The parasols were such a fun (and smart!) touch for a warm August day.
Ceremony on the Grand Lawn at their Trentadue Winery Wedding
The Grand Lawn at Trentadue Winery is one of the most iconic ceremony backdrops in Alexander Valley — endless vineyard rows, open sky, and rolling mountains in the distance. Guests were greeted with parasols for shade and statement florals that brought the whole fall palette to life. As the couple exchanged vows under a wooden arch draped in more vibrant flowers, the sunlight framed the entire scene in that perfect late-afternoon glow. It was warm, heartfelt, and visually stunning from every angle.
Dinner Under the Redwoods & Dancing Under the Café Lights
After the ceremony, everyone moved to the reception space — still on the Grand Lawn but shaded by Trentadue’s iconic redwoods. This area is truly one of the venue’s greatest assets: towering trees, soft filtered light, and plenty of space for a large guest count without ever feeling crowded. Tables were set with airy white linens, delicate bud vases filled with fall blooms, and a clean, modern tablescape that let the florals shine. The overall look was elegant yet relaxed — exactly the kind of outdoor wine country dinner guests remember. As the sun began to dip behind the trees, the whole reception took on the most beautiful golden glow. You can feel that warmth in every photo.
Nothing beats a dance floor on the lawn at Trentadue. Café lights strung between the trees created a canopy of warm light as guests gathered, laughed, and filled the space with energy. It’s a romantic, intimate setup that still feels expansive and celebratory — the perfect mix for a California fall wedding. The joy in these photos says it all: people were ready to celebrate, and this couple knew how to throw an unforgettable party.
