Oh my goodness – THIS VENUE.  I want to return to Las Posadas Ranch and Vineyards again and again and again.  Although Carla and Paul were wed in the St. Helena Catholic Church, their reception venue is the place my dreams are made of: cascading vineyards for views, a large lush lawn for farm tables and backyard games, a huge barn for dancing the night away.  It’s essentially everything you might want for a rousing raucous relaxed outdoor affair in the heart of California wine country.

Other things worth noting: Carla’s wedding dress is actually her mother’s own dress, remade and restyled in secret for her by Marie-Margot Couture.  It was an incredibly touching surprise for Carla’s mother, who had no idea!  They had a photo of her mother in the original dress on display at the reception as well.

Also, these people had some killer dance moves!
