Katie & Jay's Wedding Day | Katie & Jay

Congratulations to Katie & Jay who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, September 13th, to start our 3 in a row wedding week end. The morning started with rain so I think Katie & Jay accepted the fact that they were most likely going to have to go with their rain plan. With the help of Mother Nature and our magical umbrellas, no such thing was going to happen. Katie & Jay ended up having some dramatic skies and great overcast lighting for their photos. The weather was cooler which was just perfect for everyone. It was great getting to know Katie & Jay over the past year as they planned their wedding and made several stops to visit. It gives us such pleasure to see the happiness we bring to each of our couples and their families. Katie & Jay are just one of the cutest couples and full of romance. The look and feel that they created in the Sperry tent was soft sophistication. Simply elegant. You could find their "cuteness" with how they had messages on the bottom of their shoes, Jay having his custom tuxedo monogrammed with their wedding date and the cute sign carried by Jay's nephew. What made this wedding extra special was for Jay's brother to not only be his best man, but also the officiant. How special is that? It was great sharing their day with some of our most popular vendors. You will see by one of my photos how their 2nd shooter photographer was showing me how he would make a Rose wine; by pouring a red & white wine together:) I think Jeff should stick to photography!

Thanks to the following vendors for such a fun & perfect evening: Event Planner Barb Wired, Caterer 20 South, Jamie Kay Photography, Flowers by Natalie, Hair & Makeup by Lora Kelly, Pastry Chef Paradox Pastry, Carpe Donut, Festive Fare for rentals, Albemarle Limousine and Gordon Holloway as officiant.

Aylin & Bert's Wedding Day | Aylin & Bert

Congratulations to Aylin & Bert who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Sunday, August 31st. I just love how the Sperry tent looked for this wedding. They chose to add bistro lighting to be hung inside the tent. The look that lighting creates is just spectacular! Ayline & Bert also added 2 farm tables to be used as the head table for the wedding party and brought in some lounge furniture to create a sitting area near the bar. There is something about those farm tables that I just personally love. When you add the flowers and greenery it just has such a nice warm feeling to it. Can't wait to see their photos!

Special thanks to the following vendors: Caterer C&O, DJ Daryl McLean, Musician Chris Wyton, Photographer Adam Barnes, Florist Petal Flower Company, Hair Stylist Bristles Salon, Cake by Albemarle Baking Company, Officiant Patrick Rainey, Easy Rider Bus, Rentals by MS Events and Skyline Tent Company.

Randi & Justin's Wedding Day- Finally!!! | Randi & Justin

It was hard to believe that Saturday, August 30th, 2014 was finally here! With all the planning and visits from Randi & Justin, it was so nice to see their vision become reality. Randi is a horse loving Southern girl and wanted to add those elements to her wedding day. Justin spent days cleaning horse shoes for them to be used as seating assignments for the guests. On the back side was a saying about horse shoes and how you should hang them for good luck. Centerpieces had blue ribbons won from horse shows and on the buffet table was a horse made from greenery. Randi just loves magnolias so she had them incorporated into the centerpieces and her bouquet. I love how her florist used the magnolia leaves in her bouquet. Randi & Justin chose a little different location at Edgewood Estate for their Charlottesville wedding ceremony to take full advantage of the beautiful view of the Estate, fountain, vineyard & mountains. So many fun things that Randi & Justin did to make this wedding so special. One of the highlights from the evening was instead of a traditional wedding cake, they had an ice cream truck! Guests just loved it (so did I!). We wish Randi & Justin a life time of happiness and thanks for sharing a dance with Brian!

Thanks to the following vendors for doing such a fantastic job: Caterer Harvest Moon (their short ribs were out of this world!), Day of Coordinator Whitney Abraham, DJ Andy Wilfong of Party Masters, Photographer Tyler Corvin, Verde Natural Florals, Officiant Bart Smith, Charlottesville School Board Buses, Sweet Tooth Ice Cream Truck, Skyline Tent Company, Make-up & Hair Artist Amanda Copeland & Carla Grace Semones.

Amy & Michael's Wedding | Amy & Michael

Amy & Michael were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, August 23rd. Mother Nature was playing with us on trying to decide if it was going to rain or not. The decision was made to move cocktail hour under the tent and to go forward with the ceremony outside. Thankfully we were able to get through the ceremony just before a light drizzle started that we couldn't even pick up on the radar. Nothing that heavy, more of a mist, which made the rest of the day/night much cooler and enjoyable. I really like how Amy & Michael had guests sign rocks with marriage advice for them to keep forever. I know when I lived in Florida I would have my guests sign a seashell which I still have in a chest. Amy Webb at Blue Ridge Florals did an amazing job with the flowers along with Pearl's Cupcake with a beautiful dessert table.

Thanks to the following vendors for making this wedding a dream come true for Amy & Michael: Caterer Harvest Moon, Day of Coordinator Jennifer Terkel Taub, DJ Dennis Payne, Photographer Steven Inge of Steven & Lily Photography, Blue Ridge Florals, Pearl's Cupcakes, Makeup Artist Deanna Delgado with Bobbi Brown, Hair Stylist Molly Bush with Urban Chair Richmond, Officiant Brian Purcell, Skyline Tent Company and A&A Transportation.
