Winner of Editor's Choice for Best Real Wedding 2026

“Throughout the planning process, our goal was simple: we wanted guests to leave saying, ‘That was so Lindsay and Natalie,’” says the couple. After getting engaged abroad, Lindsay and Natalie returned with a vision as vivid as a Provençal market, a dream that Wild Heart Events flawlessly executed. 

Drawing from Healdsburg’s golden fall landscape, the team wove together warm neutrals, mustard, burgundy and dusty blue across a riot of patterned linens, including block prints and stripes. Cocktail hour channeled French aperitivo culture with bistro tables, linen menus and free-flowing Aperol spritzes. The tented reception invited guests into a cozy restaurant featuring layered tablescapes and bold patterns—with each table telling a design story of its own.

The night ended in the couple’s ultimate love letter to themselves. The Girls’ Room, their after-party, featured a custom mosaic dance floor and retro candy station straight out of a cool NYC haunt.
