Romantic Winery Wedding at Monserate: Rustic Elegance

Wine Country Romance

Monserate Winery in Fallbrook offers a unique combination of rustic charm and elegant sophistication – the perfect backdrop for couples who want something different from traditional venues.

The Setting

Nestled among rolling hills and vineyards, Monserate provides:

• Stunning outdoor ceremony spaces


• A charming barrel room for receptions


• Gorgeous golden-hour lighting


• That quintessential wine country atmosphere

The Floral Concept

For this wedding, we embraced the venue's natural beauty with a design that felt organic, gathered, and effortlessly romantic.

Color Palette:


• Soft blush and cream


• Dusty mauve


• Sage green


• Touches of burgundy (echoing the wine theme!)

Texture:


• Wispy grasses


• Trailing greenery


• Garden-style fullness


• Organic, unfussy arrangements

Ceremony Design

The outdoor ceremony overlooked the vineyard:

The Altar: Rather than a traditional arch, we created a crescent-shaped installation on a wooden arbor, allowing the vineyard views to shine through while still framing the couple beautifully.

Aisle: Lush arrangements in terracotta pots lined the aisle, which we later moved to the reception for double-duty decoration.

Reception Florals

The barrel room reception featured:

Centerpieces: A mix of:


• Tall arrangements in iron candelabras


• Low, lush pieces in wooden boxes


• Candlelit tablescapes for romantic ambiance

The Bar: We created a stunning installation above the wine bar using dried eucalyptus, pampas grass, and fresh blooms.

Sweetheart Table: Positioned in front of a wall of wine barrels, the couple's table featured a cascading arrangement and abundant candlelight.

Personal Touches

The couple incorporated several meaningful elements:


• Lavender from the bride's grandmother's garden


• Wine corks collected from special occasions


• Vintage lace from the bride's mother's veil
