There’s something undeniably special about a June wedding in Northern California; the golden light, warm breezes, and that feeling that summer has just begun. Olek and Nellie’s wedding at Black Walnut Estate captured all of that and more, blending timeless romance with thoughtful vintage touches in the most effortless way.

Set entirely on the lawn, both the ceremony and reception unfolded beneath open skies, allowing the natural beauty of the estate to take center stage. Guests were welcomed into a serene, garden-like setting where the pace slowed and the celebration felt intimate and intentional.

The ceremony was soft and romantic, framed by lush greenery and summer light. With nature as the backdrop, the focus stayed on Olek and Nellie; every glance, every smile, every quiet moment between them felt deeply personal. The simplicity of the lawn ceremony made it all the more meaningful.

As the sun dipped lower, the space transformed for the reception. Serpentine tables curved gracefully across the lawn, creating a warm, communal atmosphere that invited conversation and connection. Brown wooden crossback chairs added a vintage, old-world charm, grounding the design with texture and warmth. The flowing table layout paired beautifully with the estate’s open landscape, striking the perfect balance between elegance and ease.

The overall vibe was romantic yet relaxed classic without feeling formal. Vintage-inspired details subtly wove through the design, enhancing the timeless feel of the day while still keeping it fresh and modern. It was the kind of wedding where everything felt intentional but never overdone.

As dusk settled in and the lawn glowed with soft evening light, Olek and Nellie celebrated surrounded by the people they love most. Their wedding at Black Walnut Estate was a beautiful reflection of who they are; romantic, welcoming, and deeply connected—and a perfect way to begin their summer marriage.
