Lauren Breault (25 and a project engineer) and Drake Costa (25 and a project manager) searched for the ideal location to hold their rustic-chic wedding. So when they stumbled across Amador Cellars in Plymouth, California, they fell in love with the on-site barn and open farmland that molded the country style. Lauren and Drake decked out the day in a color scheme of gray, yellow and white, accenting everything from the wedding party attire to the candy spread at the reception. The ceremony took place inside the barn, where Lauren walked down the aisle lined with white and yellow flowers hanging in glass vases, captured on camera by Christopher Cooke Photography. The cocktail hour immediately followed, where passed appetizers and yard games kept friends and family members busy. Guests located their brown escort tags pinned onto a white picket fence for their assigned dining tables, marked with burlap flag numbers and decorated with white and yellow flower arrangements. We loved all the elements that followed the rustic-chic style and the day's color scheme, especially the white tiered cake propped up on a silver stand with flowers cascading down the side, baked by Ingrid's Cakes.

"Between Christmas and New Year's, Drake planned a weekend getaway in Carmel, California," Lauren says. "I thought it was just a weekend away to celebrate our recent college graduation, but Drake had bigger plans. When we got to Carmel, we drove straight to the beach to watch the sunset. Just as the sun was going down, Drake got down on one knee and popped the question, and of course I said yes." Drake proposed with a gorgeous round-cut diamond ring, with a band embellished in diamonds that brought additional sparkle and shine.
"The dress I chose was an ivory Stella York wedding dress with a vintage style that went perfectly with the setting," Lauren says. "My dress was paired with pearl earrings and a simple pearl necklace given to me by my grandmother."
Lauren stood in the middle of her bridesmaids dressed in charcoal gray knee-length dresses, with the on-site barn as a backdrop. Although the women wore the same-colored dress, each had a completely different style.
Drake pinned a yellow craspedia boutonniere to the lapel of his three-piece suit jacket, which he paired with a light yellow and white gingham tie. His wedding day look fit the yellow and gray color scheme at large.
Their adorable flower girl wore a boho-chic flower crown made up of leafy greens, yellow roses and scabiosa pods. The hair accessory added a nice natural touch to her white and gray ensemble.
Lauren walked down the aisle lined with hanging glass vases, filled with white and yellow flowers. She and her bridesmaids matched the decorations with their bouquets incorporating similar colors and blooms.
The ceremony took place inside the barn at Amador Cellars in Plymouth, California, with minimal decor for an all-natural look. Lauren and Drake stood in front of the barn doors, with a slight gap letting in light to illuminate the space.
Lauren's siblings contributed to the day's entertainment by building custom gray and white cornhole boards. They personalized the props with Lauren and Drake's initials on the front.
The reception took place outside at Amador Cellars in Plymouth, California, where yellow and green flower arrangements decorated round white dining tables. Burlap flags with numbers at each dining table helped guests find their seats.
