Let's Get This Party Started

We all knew we were in for a great time at Bethany & Jeremy’s wedding at Keswick Vineyards on Friday, October 28th, when their processional song was “Let’s Get This Party Started” by Black Eye Peas. I loved it! Not a traditional song choice but the perfect song for the two of them because their ceremony was one for the “first” book.

Bethany and Jeremy were already married (not sure everyone attending knew that) so they thought it would be wonderful to have all the married couples in attendance to renew their wedding vows with them. So, when that time came during the ceremony, small bridal bouquets were handed out to each “bride” and each couple stood and faced each other while renewing their wedding vows. How special was that?????

Looks how beautiful their ceremony was. Situated in the middle of Edgewood’s private driveway, framed by the vineyard and mountains with a beautiful, fall floral arch directly behind them. And when it came to their exit, bubbles!!!!!! Just love how that looks in photos!

Bethany & Jeremy made sure they would have the perfect fall wedding day by burying a bottle of bourbon exactly one month before their wedding day and boy did it work! Not only did they have perfect weather, but they hit the peak of our fall colors. I just love how they took advantage of those fall colors and added them to their color wheel for décor. Their welcome table was draped with a copper-colored velvet linen with a fall welcome sign. With the addition of couches & chairs to create “living rooms” under the tent and standing bar tables draped in velvet linens, created the most warmly fall feeling to the tent.

I Must Confess

After a 10-year courtship, Courtney & Mark finally tied the knot at Keswick Vineyards on Sunday, October 23rd. What a gorgeous fall day they had with Mother Nature showing off her colors.

Courtney & Mark wanted to take advantage of those amazing fall colors by having their ceremony in front of Edgewood Estate with our amazing yellow sugar maple in the background. It’s hard to beat that view! What also made their ceremony extra special was to have 3 of their grandmothers as their flower girls. How cute is that?

Courtney & Mark had a smaller size wedding with less than 60 people attending. With that in mind, they chose to do long rows of rectangular tables for their reception versus the typical 6’ round tables used here. I think you would agree that looked gorgeous!

My favorite thing from their wedding was the twist they did to the typical photobooth. Most people hang a neon sign with their last name or cheers or something like that on a greenery backdrop. Not Courtney & Mark. Their neon sign said “Confessional”. In front of the greenery backdrop and neon sign was a bench for guests to sit at and record a “confessional” on how they knew the couple, how long they have known them, etc. What a cute idea!!!! I also liked the signs they had made that matched the black and white theme of their wedding. Nice job guys!!!!

Kelli & Kaylee Say I Do!

On October 22nd, 2022 Kelli and Kaylee tied the knot here at Keswick Vineyards! Their day was full of warmth, love and beautiful fall weather. The weather on their wedding day was picture perfect! Look how incredible the two of them look with the fall colors in the backdrop! There is nothing more beautiful than the fall foliage here at Keswick Vineyards.

The couple did two little things at their wedding that I found particularly cute and unique! At their welcome table that guest passed on the way into the ceremony, Kelli and Kaylee had little packages that looked like they would contain matches but instead they had tissues inside in case anyone felt like they would shed a tear or two during the ceremony! I also loved how instead of using a traditional guest book for their guests to sign, they had giant Jenga that they had guest sign! I love little spins like this on traditional wedding items! It really keeps things fun and fresh!

Kelli and Kaylee really kept the decor under the reception tent simple and elegant. I love this especially in the fall because it can really make the tent feel super warm and cozy! This couple truly could not have asked for a more perfect fall day to have their wedding. We feel so honored they said I do here at Keswick Vineyards!

A Glorious Fall Day!

October 21st, 2022 was a very special day here at Keswick Vineyards. Not only was this the day Emilia and Andrew said I do but it was the day we really saw all the fall colors at their peak here on property. October is absolutely beautiful here in Virginia. I mean just look at these beautiful photos right before the sun set!

Something I really loved about their special day and we have started seeing this more and more is how Emilia decided to have not only her father but her mother walk her down the aisle as well. I think this is a special way to honor both of your parents on your wedding day!

We also can’t forget to mention the real star of the show for this wedding, the couples dog, Penelope! Penelope was even dressed up in a fluffy white dress to watch her humans say I do! We absolutely love when couples include their dogs in their ceremony because who doesn’t love a fluffy friend!

We feel so honored to have been the coordinator for their wedding day! Emilia and Andrew, it was an honor working with the two of you and seeing your wedding dreams become a reality. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness and can’t wait for you to visit us in the future!
