Our linens have been used for exciting and innovative weddings by couples in the San Francisco Bay Area, the greater United States, and all over the world!

Although we take our name from the beauty of wine country, there’s something about the Bay Area that never fails to capture our heart. This sophisticated blush and plum wedding takes place at one of San Francisco’s finest wedding venue, and is a gorgeous tribute to the style and artistry offered by our lovely city.

Rachel and Brandon celebrated their wedding at the iconic Julia Morgan Ballroom in the heart of San Francisco. The cypress trees of the Presidio served as the backdrop for their wedding portraits, offering some of the natural beauty and sea swept views that have made the city famous. They exchanged vows in the marble lobby at the Merchant’s Exchange Building.

Their reception blended the regal beauty of the Julia Morgan Ballroom with a fun and modern twist! Our Paris Blush sequin table runners sparkled under Soulflower Design Studio‘s arrangements of richly colored dahlias and roses. The Bride and Groom’s places each sported a gold glitter sign and a calligraphied plate dubbing them Mr. and Mrs. to add just a little more glitter!

Kaley and Michael’s French inspired wedding in wine country has to be a new NVL favorite – not only are there gorgeous textiles galore, but An Everlasting Moment helped them design a perfectly chic wedding day!  We want to say a huge thank you to Matt Edge Wedding Photography for capturing this picture perfect affair and to Wedding Chicks for featuring it!

The graceful grounds of Chateau St. Jean Winery in Sonoma inspired the chic French theme behind each detail of Kaley and Michael’s elegant wedding day. The lush green lawns and hedges made for a gorgeous splash of color against the warm stone walls of the chateau – to complement the colors of the landscape, they selected a natural palette of blush and neutral colors. Cocktail tables draped in our Ankara Blush linens dotted the lawn, topped with arrangements of cafe au lait dahlias and ivory roses.

The reception carried the soft colors on to the lawns surrounding the vineyards, with Linea Bone linens on guest tables. Gold edged chargers and metallic table numbers added a hint of glamour to the relaxed elegance of the tables.


See the rest on Wedding Chicks!

It’s the season for glittering gold and white wedding inspiration, as yesterday’s sparkling metallic inspiration can attest! Today we have a gorgeous real wedding to inspire, with some of the most talented wedding professionals in the Bay Area. There’s nothing quite like seeing an event come seamlessly together, from the location, the floral design, and, of course, the linens! The fabulous Simple Little Details pulled double duty as the Event Planner and Designer for Tamara and Dan’s glamorous Gatsby inspired wedding. She worked with the amazing floral team at Asiel Design to create a look that captured the glamour and romance of the 1920’s blended with the couple’s elegant modern style.

The Mediterranean inspired villa at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery was the perfect location for their reception – guests were greeted in the grand entrance hall by tables draped in our sparkling Paris Gold linens and covered in luxurious feather quills with their table numbers. Cocktail hour took place in the Sun Garden, while Tamara and Dan took portraits in the surrounding vineyards with Jake and Necia Photography. Champagne hued Lamour Cashmere linens on the cocktail tables picked up the delicate neutral tones in Tamara’s bridesmaids’ gowns and their bouquets, while hinting at the drama and glamour inside.

We could not have been more excited for this wedding, since Tamara and designer Taleen were the first to use our floor-length Cleo Gold overlays on all the guest tables! The intricate gold overlays added gorgeous sparkle to the white house linens, topped with elegant gilded glassware, Lamour Cashmere napkins tied with pearls, and elaborate white and cream centerpieces by Asiel Design. The long head table, draped in sparkling Paris Gold sequin linens, was bordered with Asiel’s signature manzanita and orchid arrangements to make a gorgeous statement in the Great Hall. The glamorous ivory and gold wedding cake by Jen’s Cakes, alternating brushed metallic tiers with ivory fondant adorned with gumpaste pearls and orchids, sat nearby on a tall table set with more Paris Gold and flickering candles!

Classic Bride and Groom at Sunstone Winery | Jen Huang Photography | Grey Likes Weddings Gets Married! Inside Summer WatkinsCustom Kirstie Kelly Wedding Dress | Jen Huang Photography | Grey Likes Weddings Gets Married! Inside Summer Watkins

When it comes to incredible wedding inspiration, Grey Likes Weddings is at the top of our list so when we were approached to provide linens for editor Summer Watkins’ wedding, we were thrilled! We’re just as happy to see her stunning wedding at Sunstone Vineyards & Winery, designed by Courtnie Purdy Fausner with gorgeous photos by Jen Huang is in the Winter Edition of Martha Stewart Weddings!

When Bride-to-be, Stylist, and Blogger Summer expressed an interest in our specialty linens for her wedding, it was clear that she had an incredible vision in mind. We loved watching that vision come together as we worked with her on linen selections – in keeping with her design for a crisp, classic wedding with preppy elements, she picked our appropriately named Summer Sugar linen! The luxuriously textured white linen was a gorgeous fit for Summer and Bryan’s chic and preppy wedding – their palette of emerald green and clean white paired beautifully with effusive coral, peach, and blush flowers by Lauryl Lane. An elegant swan motif was carried throughout their day – on their custom designed stationery designed by MaeMae & Co. and printed by Gus & Ruby Letterpress, in vintage bird shaped vessels on their dining tables, even fruit ice cubes floating in sparkling wine! The swan detailing was a perfect fit for their classic style, as well as symbolizing everlasting love. Summer even uses the swan as the signet for the Ladies’ Society of Matrimonial Finery on her blog!

Frequent NVLinens collaborator LVL Weddings & Events worked with Summer to plan each detail of the day – custom made boutonnieres with Bryan’s family crest, a ‘celebration station’ with noisemakers for guests to sound after the ceremony, even tiny bell escort cards for guests to ring when the bride and groom were announced! The wedding day wouldn’t have been complete without fabulous styling by the bride, of course! Bridesmaids picked their own blush gowns, but we have no doubt that professional stylist Summer had a hand in their wedding day looks. Her new husband looked dapper in a Hugo Boss tuxedo, while the bride herself was radiant in a custom Kirstie Kelly gown. Even her shoes were a perfect nod to their wedding day look, with chic green and white striped Badgley Mischka heels!

Pastel Garden Wedding in Sonoma | Damian Hamilton Photography

Gita and Mark’s lovely Cornerstone Gardens wedding is the epitome of wine country elegance! This San Francisco based couple chose the Sonoma location for its juxtaposition of vineyard romance with dramatic art installations and modern amenities. Gita, an industrial designer, created the stationery suite that inspired their sophisticated yet sweet wedding palette. Mandy Scott Events worked with them for coordination and florals, bringing their stationery suite to life with romantic florals in rainwashed pastels. The soft garden-inspired floral arrangements worked beautifully with our Ankara Aquamarine linens, with its swirling pattern of pearly flourishes on a delicate aqua backdrop.

The large scale print of the Ankara pattern rendered in such delicate colors made for a serenely beautiful reception under the elegant canopy, along with Hartmann Studios’ natural oak chairs. Delicate floral arrangements in their pastel palette brought the surrounding gardens into the reception space, with low compote centerpieces in pale shades of pink, peach, ivory, and yellow. We’re so grateful to the incredibly talented Damion Hamilton Photography for sharing this wonderful wedding with us!
