Napa Bridechillaâ„¢ on Style Me Pretty

what_shanni_saw17$!x600napa weddingWe’re in the Style Me Pretty spotlight this week with our Bridechillaâ„¢ Tracey and her husband Mark. Tracey and Mark are from New York, but wanted to give their loved ones a beautiful getaway when it came to seeing them say “I do”. So they chose Napa as their destination and Mary Ellen Murphy & her team at Off The Beaten Path Weddings as their event stylists. What a chill way to give their guests a wedding to remember, right?

Off The Beaten Path Weddings styled this wedding with organic touches and “refreshing style” as SMP puts it. Bright colors and flowing wine surrounded the couple and their guests throughout the day.

Holiday Must Have: Chalkboard Gift Wrap

Chalkboards are a signature detail of Off The Beaten Path Weddings and we think bringing them to the holiday season will add chill touches to amazing gifts. Having chalkboard gift wrap gives a perfect opportunity to write a personal message (big or small) on the gift or even color your own pattern in to the wrap. Happy Holidays!

Or how about these chalkboard gift tag ideas from FabHouseWife? Love them!
