Inspiration of the Day: A Tree Bar

By:

For the outdoor cocktail hour at this Sonoma Valley wedding, an enormous tree became the unavoidable focal point because of it’s location at the venue. Instead of avoiding the large tree, Alison, founder of Alison Events, constructed a custom bar around the base of the tree to incorporate the elegant tree and create a stunning backdrop. The tree also provided plenty of shade for pre-ceremony cocktails while the sun is still up and a perfect vantage point to watch the sunset at the after the ceremony.
