The Bride Anna Partel, 29, a partner management director at Yahoo! The Groom Shaun Haase, 30, a product director at Zynga The Date July 3 Anna and Shaun wanted a formal wedding without the typical banquet space. Once they found the perfect Sonoma County venue, they worked with a “ballroom meets barn” theme and a timeless color combo of gold and white.

Elegant script font in gold ink gave the perfect formal look to the menu cards.
An eclectic mix of silver and glass candlesticks atop mirrored trays offset the floral centerpieces.
The ceremony took place on the lawn, facing the vineyards and mountains.
Gold peep-toe pumps with crystal accents added some sparkle to Anna’s look.
The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of Anna’s white peony bouquet.
