Park Winters Wedding in Yolo Valley

Emily and Matt had a Park Winters wedding in October, and it was nothing short of magical. From a smooth getting-ready experience to a tearful first look to the sweet vow exchange to the reception party of the year, this was a flawless wedding. Park Winters is a hidden gem, but it’s gaining traction. It is a feature on Here Comes The Guide.

Where is Park Winters?

Park Winters is located in California. Winters, CA is famous for its farm-to-fork food scene, wineries, and agritourism. Which is exactly why Park Winters is a great choice for a wedding. Their one-of-a-kind estate features dreamy gardens, a historical inn, an elegant white barn and two rustic barns, a chic pool and hot tub, a quaint organic farm, and sweeping views of the countryside. 

The country estate brings a fairytale wedding to life, as seen with Emily and Matt. Guests can wander through formal gardens. They’ll pass an elegant historic inn and a chic event barn into a world of natural beauty. Surrounded by panoramic views of the Blue Hills, Park Winters embodies weddings of simple country luxury—with touches of sparkling splendor. 

Northern California Weddings

There is a lot of buzz around Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley. If you are looking for something a little more rustic, yet with the same great food and wines as Sonoma and Napa, consider Yolo Valley, which includes Winters. For all three California valleys, if you are planning a wedding planning there is no bad time in California. The best time to visit Park Winters is probably during the Fall or Spring, but you can’t go wrong any time of year.

Getting Ready and First Look at Park Winters Wedding

Emily and her bridesmaids got ready together at Park Winters. Emily’s dress had a low-cut back, intricate design, and dainty straps. It was feminine and very flattering. Her hair is swept back, leaving a few pieces to frame her face. The makeup team did an incredible job, and she looked radiant. The ladies by her side had their own style, wearing coral-red dresses and bouquets that beautifully complemented the October wedding. 

Matt and Emily opted for a first look, during which they read personal letters to each other before the ceremony. The bride dabbed a tear away while sharing her feelings. It’s these raw moments I get to capture that really set the tone for the rest of the wedding day. It’s so clear how in love Matt and Emily are, and their excitement to be together forever.

Ceremony and Cocktails

Under one of the most impressive flower arches I have ever seen, Matt and Emily made it official as husband and wife. They smiled as they both flipped me their ring fingers, a very Matt and Emily move. This was truly the most beautiful flower farm wedding experience. It was clear that Matt and Emily cherished every moment. 

As the day shifted to the cocktail party, children explored the on-site fountain, where fish swam. This is an example of a small detail that makes Winters Park weddings so much fun and unique. Trays of pink cocktails and small bites were shared among the guests. Meanwhile, Matt and Emily snuck back with me for some more intimate photos.

I could write about the after party, but I’ll let the photos speak for themselves!
