Sophie Zhou (26 and selfemployed) and Michael Novati (30 and a software engineer) looked to a childhood film favorite when planning their wedding: Beauty and the Beast. The Disney fans even choreographed their first dance to the tune of “Tale as Old as Time.” Teal, pastels and green created a whimsical setting at the private vineyard estate, where guests found surprises and delights at every turn. Escort cards made from individual roses tagged with names and table numbers were reminiscent of the story’s enchanted rose, while loose leaves and unstructured bows created a dreamy setting only found in storybooks. —Becky Murray
