A Romantic Tented Wedding at Cornerstone Sonoma in Sonoma, California

Michelle Parise (34 and an executive assistant) and Jon Parise (34 and a software engineer) originally met through a mutual friend. They lost touch for a while, but then one day Michelle spotted him walking around her neighborhood. Michelle thought Jon would be good for a job they were recruiting for, so she messaged him. Jon landed the job and six months after working together, they went on their first date. While Michelle was driving home to work one day, Jon asked if she could stop by his apartment to pick something up she had forgotten. When she got there, a box was opened displaying an engagement ring with Jon’s grandmother’s diamond. The couple wedding took place at Cornerstone Sonoma in Sonoma, California with an outdoor space that was perfect for their ceremony and tented reception. To make things even easier, the venue had an onsite restaurant and florist for the flower arrangements and food for the evening. The couple’s vision of a whimsical, joyous wedding came to life through a vibrant color palette of yellow, pink and navy. The wedding day style was reflected in the invitations through red and pink heart graphics with arrows printed on simple white stationary. The heart and arrow design was seen throughout the wedding, from Jon’s arrow tiepin to the cocktail napkins and the heart shaped strawberry favor cookies.
