This romantic, intimate wedding at Fazeli Cellars features gorgeous, creamy tones against a modern Italian style backdrop in the hills of Temecula Valley. Leah and Steve wanted 34 of their closest friends and family to attend. Steve said he wanted it to feel like a big family dinner and for those who
Beautiful Italian inspired details and architecture fill the entire property. Fazeli Winery has a beautiful mountain ceremony view with extensive landscaping. Leah chose a pale pinks and a gold color palette and various shades of blush for her stationery, flowers, and reception details.
