Wow! Talk about an amazing wedding. People are still telling us that our wedding was the best one they've ever been to. We wanted a wedding that was warm, inviting and intimate, and something that felt like we were in our own space and having our friends and family "over" to celebrate our special day. Bear Flag farm has that gorgeous farm/vineyard/villa in Tuscany kind of feel. We did the wedding ceremony in the heavenly lavender fields, our Vietnamese engagement ceremony next to the villa and our reception in the sunken gardens. No tent, it was wonderful to have those gorgeous sycamore trees around the garden as the backdrop. The sunset was spectacular! It did get a little chilly at night (our wedding was at the very end of the fall season) and Tina (the owner) and Darcy (wedding coordinator) thoughtfully provided "wraps" (pieces of soft fleece) for all the ladies and the party kept on going without a hitch. Tina made us feel like our wedding was as special to her as it was to us. I still remember her bringing in her CD player for me and my bridesmaids to listen to as we were getting ready in that beautiful guest house. Another great thing about BFF was its proximity to Davis. It is such a cute town with everything in walking distance. The weekend of the wedding we kept running into friends and family every where we went. Despite being transplants and everyone flying in from everywhere it really felt like a hometown wedding. We had our rehearsal in a local park and then walked over to the rehearsal dinner. It was just a perfect wedding weekend.
