Lydia & Tyler say "I DO" | Lydia & Tyler

Congratulations to Lydia & Tyler who were married at Keswick Vineyards in Charlottesville, VA this past Saturday. Mother Nature did her job by giving them a beautiful Spring day for their outdoor wedding ceremony. I really loved the colors chosen for this wedding. The bridesmaids dresses were this beautiful teal color that just popped next to the khaki color suits the guys wore. You also would find splashes of lime green in details like napkin colors and the brides father's tie.

2nd Wedding of the Year! | Jessica & Niall

Congratulations to Jessica & Niall who were married at Keswick Vineyards on April 13th. It was great to have a couple from our home towns; Michigan and Keswick, Virginia, getting married here. What are the chances of that happening? I definitely could relate to the speech given by the best man when he referenced Jessica's love for Christmas. Everyone from Michigan knows how special of a place Bronner's Christmas Store is in Frankenmuth, Michigan and that is where Jessica is from. Jessica even had ornaments that she and Niall made at each table setting at the wedding reception. You will see from some of my photo's all the little details that made this wedding so special. I really like how the centerpieces had birch wood wrapped around the arrangement and then it had their initials engraved on them. The one thing I will remember most from this wedding is Jessica's contagious laugh. It was great to see how much she enjoyed her wedding day and how loving Niall's family is towards her. There were so many special moments I got to witness from this family throughout the evening which is what I love most about my job. From Jessica's sister walking her down the aisle to Niall's cousin playing music at the outdoor ceremony. The list goes on and on.

2013 Wedding Season Begins!!! | Bridget & Mike

Well, the day finally came. Keswick Vineyards 2013 wedding season began on Saturday, April 6th, with the marriage of Bridget & Mike. I'm not sure who was more nervous the night before; me or Bridget? I am happy to report that our first wedding was perfect! Even Mother Nature did her part and provided a beautiful Spring day (was a little worried since 3 days earlier it was snowing). Bridget was a beautiful bride! Her lace wedding gown was breathtaking. I loved hearing later in the evening from Mike that it was so hard for him to keep it together when he first saw Bridget coming towards the alter. I LOVE the fact that Bridget made her bouquet. It wasn't made from flowers but from brooches including some from her Grandmother. How special is that? Another item I really thought was pretty was the ball of flowers that the flower girl carried. Adorable! And check out the photo of the neat pattern of flower petals that Bridget chose for the aisle.

The success of their wedding couldn't of been possible without the help from the following vendors: Exchange Events did the catering with the guidance from Jaclyn, photographers Jason & Tammy Keefer (can't wait to see their photo's!), Officiant Gay Einstein, wedding cake by Chandler’s, florist Elaine Webb, DJ Andy Wilfong with Party Masters, Anne Kibler of Charlottesville Makeup Artist, rentals from MS Events, Carpe Donut for supplying a late night snack and Albemarle Limousine providing the get away car.

Danielle & Tom's Masquerade Wedding | Danielle & Tom

Now that the wedding season (and harvest!) are both finished, we have some time to go back and share some of this years' beautiful Keswick Vineyards weddings with you! We'll start off with Dani and Tom's super fun and unique celebration! Getting married outdoors during the beautiful fall weekend in Charlottesville before Halloween, Dani and Tom never made any “bones” about their masquerade wedding. Everyone was in costume to celebrate this union of families and friends, and what fun! The bridal party carried old fashioned lanterns and the guests looked on in an array of colorful masks. Dani was stunning in her white gown adorned with black trim and crystals, with her black long train coat and beehive hairstyle setting the tone for her procession to Tom, as Harry Potter’s Hedwig’s Theme played. The ring bearer was the most unique of all as the remote dog from Doctor Who carried the rings on his tail to the bride and groom at the appropriate time. From farmers to nuns to Little Red Riding Hood – what a celebration! Congratulations to Danielle & Tom, this was one unique wedding that we loved!!!

Special thanks to the following Charlottesville wedding vendors: C&O Catering, photographer Dominique Attaway, Albemarle Baking Company, DJ TD Layman of Sound Enforcement, officiant Bruce Watson, transportation by B2B and Skyline Tent Company.
