The vast outdoor space surrounded by vineyards and the indoor rustic barrel room with hanging chandeliers set the scene for an elegant, natural wedding at Leoness Cellars in Temecula, California. "Our first trip together was driving to Temecula for wine tasting," Joanne Huang (34 and a technical project manager) says of her marriage to Rainnier Guzman (37 and an e-commerce content manager). "Cellars was one of the wineries we visited, and we even made a joke about having a wedding there. When we visited the winery again last year, we quickly made the decision that it was destiny." And so, Joanne and Rainnier were married outside at the simple white wooden pergola that had a gorgeous backdrop of the distant mountains, captured on camera by True Photography Weddings. Madam Palooza helped decorate the aisle with ivory hydrangeas and purple roses arranged inside glass vases that were propped up on white-covered tables. Inside the winery's barrel room, dining tables dressed in champagne-colored linens were set with gold plates and pink napkins, decorated in the middle with colorful flowers placed on top of tall glass candelabras. Our favorite detail? Joanne's strapless ivory Alfred Angelo dress, which had Madeira lace accenting the bodice and trim of the train, along with crystal beading, sequins and rhinestones that added extra elegance. "Most people think the wedding is only for the bride to plan, or naturally the groom would just space out," Joanne says. "We actually had a lot of fun planning our wedding together, and appreciate each other's patience and opinions."

Joanne wore a pair of Beso white heels that had an illusion material, with a pointed toe that was accented in rhinestones.
Joanne stood with her bridesmaids wearing pink and purple strapless dresses, and they all held pastel bouquets filled with peonies and roses.
The ceremony took place on the lawn at Leoness Cellars in Temecula, California. Rows of white folding chairs were set up to face the altar, which was under the white wooden pergola that had a backdrop of the vineyards and mountains.
Joanne and Rainnier shared their first kiss outside at Leoness Cellars in Temecula, California. Joanna wore her hair in an updo hairstyle pinned with a white tulle veil.
The aisle was lined with white hydrangeas, purple roses and stock arranged in glass vases, positioned on top of tall tables covered in white linens.
Rainnier twirled Joanne around in her white strapless A-line Alfred Angelo dress, which had lace accents on the bodice and trim of the long train.
Inside the barrel room, round dining tables dressed in champagne-colored linens were decorated with tall glass candelabras, with lush flower arrangements and candles displayed on top.
At the reception, dining tables were dressed in champagne-colored tablecloths and set with menu cards folded into pink napkins and placed on top of gold plates.
Joanne and Rainnier took their seats at the sweetheart table, which was labeled with a gold sign that read "Mr. & Mrs." The top of the table was decorated in overflowing lush pastel roses, hydrangeas and baby's breath arrangements.
