Under the sunny Los Olivos sky, Alex and Kyle celebrated with friends and family at Gainey Vineyard in Santa Ynez, a venue that perfectly blended timeless elegance with a relaxed, garden-inspired feel. In addition, the natural beauty of the vineyard added an unforgettable touch to the day, making it the perfect backdrop for their Gainey Vineyard wedding.
Alex and Kyle’s love story began in 2016 when they met through a mutual friend, Stan, while attending Cal Poly. From the start, their connection was instant, and they quickly bonded over shared activities like hiking, camping, and cooking. Then, Kyle surprised Alex with a proposal on Pier 7 in San Francisco, marking the beginning of their wedding journey. To make the day even more meaningful, Stan had the honor of officiating their ceremony.
The wedding décor beautifully reflected Alex and Kyle’s vision of a charming garden party with an elegant twist. Soft pastel florals in pink, blue, and green, designed by @tangledlotus, adorned the venue. Simple bud vases were placed on each table to add a delicate touch. Furthermore, the black-tie dress code added a formal element, creating a perfect balance between sophistication and warmth. Their Gainey Vineyard wedding truly embodied elegance.
The reception, without a doubt, was a celebration to remember. Guests enjoyed delicious food from @djscaliforniacatering, perfectly complemented by Gainey’s famous wines. As the night went on, @djzekesb kept the dance floor packed with energetic music, and a photobooth added a fun, playful element to the evening.
Alex looked absolutely stunning in a gown from Blue Sky Bridal, while Kyle complemented her in a classic tuxedo from The Black Tux. Additionally, the bridesmaids wore soft pink dresses, providing a fresh, elegant accent to the day. Meanwhile, the groomsmen’s tuxedos matched Kyle’s timeless look, adding a cohesive touch to the wedding party.
