Valentine’s day in high school seems full of promise. Kelsey and Richard met during a Valentine’s Day gathering. They dated, went to separate colleges and stayed in love.
Fast forward three years of dating, a breathtaking proposal in Kona, Hawaii, and they are declaring forever in front of their family and friends in beautiful Temecula wine country at Ponte Winery.
Below are photos of Kelsey and Richard’s wedding at Ponte Winery in Temecula, California. Glamorous, chic, and romantic floral details made their wedding day even more lovely.
The couple opted to see each other before the ceremony for a first look at Ponte Inn’s courtyard.
The wedding party looking amazing!
The beautiful bridesmaids wore floor-length blush gowns.
The groomsmen wore sharp grey suits with bowties.
The bride and groom chose a neutral palette for their fall wedding. Timeless colors of white, blush, nude, and grey filled the space at Ponte Winery.
The Vineyard Pavilion at Ponte Winery was beautifully decorated with glamorous chandeliers, elegant linens, and gorgeous floral centerpieces.
The dessert table was beautiful. I love the draped blush linen and silver platters.
Wedding favors for sweet guests were none other than delicious bottled honey from the groom’s family-owned bee-keeping company that has been in business for five generations!
The couple poured wine together during their wedding ceremony.
Sealed with a kiss, they’re married!
Kelsey and Richard, you make a lovely couple! Congratulations!
Richard adores Kelsey and says, “I love the thoughtfulness, caring love Kelsey gives me everyday. Her hardworking attitude and determination she puts into everything she does.”
“I love how Richard is a hard worker, genuine, supportive, honest and I cannot forget about those baby blue eyes that I love,” Kelsey beams when talking about her husband.
I love this romantic photo of the newlyweds under beautiful arches at Ponte Winery. The arches are aptly named the “Tunnel of Love”.
At dusk, the bride and groom strolled in the vineyard at Ponte Winery.

Dinner and dancing were held in Ponte Winery’s Vineyard Pavilion after the wedding ceremony, which made for a gorgeous reception.
The party concluded after a romantic exit with petals, cheers, and kisses. The bride and groom set off to honeymoon in Fiji.
