Stonepine Estate Makes the Case for an Italian Look Without the Flight

Stonepine Estate in Carmel Valley is the venue in a newly published wedding with a Tuscan point of view. The couple did not use the estate to imitate California. They used it as the setting for an Italian-country scheme, and the property took that styling without strain. The palette was bright pastels, which is a different choice from the usual muted, sun-faded tones of Tuscan-themed weddings. The florals also departed from the expected, and the arrangements were treated as a design decision rather than a default. For a bride who wants Italy as the mood but a California estate as the actual address, this wedding shows the two can be combined. Paulina Perrucci, a member of Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book vendor network, photographed the day, and her images are the record to study before booking a walkthrough.
