Four-Day Wedding Weekend with Luxurious Equestrian Details in Calistoga

It all started with a dinner in Aspen with mutual friends, where Blair was the last to arrive and sat herself sitting in the only open seat - conveniently located next to Seth. Though the duo were not intentionally set up by friends, an undeniable connection began to flourish via text messages as both of them were traveling in the weeks following their initial meeting. "Seth decided to take a chance and ask me on a 'proper date.' With Valentine's Day approaching, we opted for a February 12th rendezvous instead. From that moment on, Seth became my forever February 12 Valentine," Blair said. One of the duo's shared passions is exploring the expansive outdoors, and after a mid-pandemic hike with their dog to the Marolt Open Space overlooking Aspen Highlands in April of 2020 Seth proposed amidst exquisite snow-clad backdrops. The wedding that followed over three years later was a spectacular culmination of style and carefully-curated elements with a unique equestrian theme. 

Blair and Seth Owen’s wedding was an extravagant four-day weekend affair in Calistoga that had beautiful, personal details woven throughout. The impeccable design was a collaboration between RSBP Events and Cole Drake Events. The extended celebration began with an apres-ski party at Tamber Bey Vineyards, followed the next evening by a wine-tasting rehearsal dinner at the Four Seasons Napa Valley.  For the main event, the couple tied the knot at Double R Ranch, a beautiful property surrounded by acres of vineyards and horse stables. The bride, who plays polo, made a grand entrance by riding in on her beloved horse, Mikey, and then walking down the floral-lined aisle while a gospel choir sang. The elegant equestrian theme continued in the details, such as the ceremony program, the escort card wall, menu cards and the hit of the reception, a luxurious Hermès photo booth. Gathered along winding tables filled with abundant floral centerpieces, guests dined on filet mignon and endless espresso martinis. To cap off the festivities, the bride’s family surprised the couple with a spectacular drone light show—which even included images of Blair’s beloved dog, Ralphie.
