Tesoro decks the halls at Auberge du Soleil! A study in greens, golds and white. Lush succulents, mosses, manzanita, green glass, gold, khaki and white glass.

As I bid adieu to Autumn, I wanted to reflect on what a beautiful season it's been. I will miss the fall leaves, persimmons and all the great textures that come with it....but winter is here and with it comes the smell of fir, narcissus, cinnamon and the  lush redness of the pomegranate. I wanted to share

 this shot of my October Sky Maple in all its glory.... I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. It's always too brief but the most beautiful things in life are fleeting.....

The 2013 holiday season begins at The Vintage Estate in Yountville! We have been busy little elves making merry at Villagio, Villagio Spa and The Vintage Inn!

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

The Holiday's are finally upon us! Tesoro has shifted from autumn to Christmas and we are so excited that the season is here! The shop is stocked with bottle brush trees, whimsical velvet Santas, holiday candles, home fragrances and beautiful keepsake ornaments. We will soon be carrying fresh holiday floral, greens and plants and we are taking custom wreath orders too!

On Sunday December 8th, Cornerstone Gardens is hosting the 9th Annual Lighting of the Snowmen! For more information on the event click here - Tesoro will be open from 10am to 7:30pm so come by for cider, holiday cheer and get a jump start on that shopping list!

A Tesoro Bride To Be :: Cecelia :: Final Tidbits

You guys....our wedding in ONE WEEK away. What?! How did that happen? Let me update you on our progress...

1. I've had an insane time getting my dress made via Etsy...it finally shipped last week and it's on schedule to arrive tomorrow...FIVE days before the wedding. Fingers-crossed the thing fits like a glove.

2. The shop and garden here at Tesoro are looking totally fab. Just wait.

3. My massive three foot pink heart balloons have arrived. Enough said.

4. Rings are here and marriage license is done.

5. Honeymoon plans are in the works! We're spending two nights at Villagio in Yountville and a few nights along the Mendocino coast. So excited!!

With one week left, everyone at Tesoro is joking about my "wedding brain" state of mind. It feels like there are still so many things to do, but I just received a bit of advice from a great couple who comes into the shop often (hi Cecilia!)...stop, enjoy and take it all in because it will be over in a flash...and that's my goal for the coming week. Can't wait for our family and friends to start arriving so we can get this celebration started!

A Tesoro Bride To Be :: Cecelia :: The Perfect Palette

Hi guys! Happy weekend!

I've always loved the color pink, but when I began working in the world of flowers that love only grew times infinity. Pink, blush, peach, coral....OMGeeeeee. So naturally our wedding color palette will be a cheerful mix of those very colors combined with ivory, hints of orange and g o l d. Yum. I still haven't decided on exactly what I'd like to carry down the aisle (if only you had heard me last wedding season) but I'm thinking effortless and feminine. Here's a little peek at what's inspiring me color-wise...

A Tesoro Bride To Be :: Cecelia

Hi Guys! I'm Cecelia (you may know me as Cece) and I've been a floral designer here at Tesoro for two and a half years. My fiance Jason and I have been together for ten years and we are very excited to announce that we're getting married this spring! We're so lucky and incredibly thankful that we have Paul and the team at Tesoro to help us plan our big day. In fact, our ceremony and reception will take place right here in the shop/garden at Cornerstone Sonoma! With exactly three months left until we say "I do"....(yikes!) things are really starting to fall into place and I'm thrilled to share our final planning process through this blog. For now, feel free to follow all of my crazy wedding pinning over on my Pinterest page!
