Megan & Andrew's Wedding Day | Megan & Andrew

Congratulations to Megan & Andrew who were married on Sunday, September 21st, at Keswick Vineyards. Another gorgeous day was provided to match this gorgeous couple. Megan just looked amazing in her wedding dress. The beaded details on the bodice looked stunning on her with the airy, flowy-ness of the bottom. Megan was able to design her wedding dress by picking the style she wanted for the top and then the style she wanted for the bottom. All I can say is she nailed it and looked amazing!!! The guys also were just as good looking in their grey suits. With the purple and orange accent colors in the flowers, wow! Everything just looked so nice. Verde Natural Florist did an amazing job with the flowers. The large arrangements for the ceremony on top of wine barrels looked just perfect at the end of an aisle lined with shepherd hooks with baby breath in mason jars. Megan’s bouquet was amazing also. Attached to it was a photo of her mother who lost her battle to breast cancer. In her memory, a card was at each table setting letting guests know that a donation to the Susan G. Komen Cancer Center was made in their name. Megan also included some photos of her Mother that were displayed on a ladder shelf. Her spirit was definitely felt. Guest enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by The Local and danced the night away under the guidance of DJ T.D. Layman of Sound Enforcement. Can’t wait to see photos by Photographer Tyler Corvin.

Lauren & Brandon's Wedding Day | Lauren & Brandon

Congratulations to Lauren & Brandon who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, September 20th. Once again, the weather was just perfect! Lauren & Brandon’s wedding was definitely a family affair with Brandon’s Aunt & Uncle being their officiants. You could just feel the love and emotions throughout the entire ceremony. Lauren definitely had a vision for her wedding day. I remember her coming for her walk thru and showing me some Pinterest photos of what she wanted. I love how she had the exterior poles of the Sperry tent covered with fabric. I was amazed at how just doing that created such a different feel and look to the tent. I would say it added a feel of elegance and sophistication. A very nice touch! She also had a halo of flowers hung over the dance floor.

Nicole & Cody's Wedding Day | Nicole & Cody

Nicole & Cody came to our Be Mine with Wine Valentines Day event back in 2013. To Nicole’s surprise, Cody proposed to her at that event. With their proposal taking place here it only made since that their wedding should be held here also. So, on Monday, September 15th, Nicole and Cody were married at Keswick Vineyards! Keeping with their love for our wines they included in their ceremony a wooden box which contained a bottle of our wine and love letters they had written to each other. They hammered the box closed and will open it on their 5th anniversary. Nicole & Cody had lots of children attending their wedding. I love the things they did to “entertain” them throughout the evening. First, they had a ceremony wedding program full of word searches, pictures to color, unscramble words, etc.. After the ceremony, the kids were given a list, like a scavenger hunt, that they went around with iPhones to document things they had to do. Example, they had to take a picture of the photographer taking a picture. Things like that. What a great idea! Then, at the reception, they had a table for the kids to sit at and had crayons and paper and other items to keep them busy. I also noticed some goody bags that had chips, candy and other little things that kids love. Lastly, their DJ would make sure he played songs that were hip to that age group. I’ve never seen a wedding do that much for their younger guests. I’m sure these kids had a fantastic time and will remember this wedding forever.

Thank you to the following vendors for their superior service: Caterer Exchange Events, Photographer Tyler Corvin, DJ TD Layman of Sound Enforcement, Hair & Makeup by Jeanne Cusick, Officiant Gay Lee Einstein, Carpe Donuts and MS Events for rentals.

Ali & Beattie's Wedding Day | Ali & Beattie

One word to describe this wedding, FUN!!! Ali & Beattie were married on Sunday, September 14th, at Keswick Vineyards. The weather was just perfect for them. They chose to have their ceremony on the East lawn of Edgewood Estate giving guests a beautiful view of the Southwest Mountains, vineyard, fountain and estate. I had to take several photos so you can see what a beautiful location it is. I especially love it for our fall weddings when the fall colors are just everywhere. Amy at Blue Ridge Floral did an amazing job with all the flowers. Large floral arrangements decorated the alter and mason jars with flowers were hanging on the chairs on the aisle. The centerpieces just popped with color. Had so much fun working with photographer William Walker and his wife. I always love capturing Will doing his thing getting that perfect picture as you will see below. Ali & Beattie’s guest were so much fun! I’ve never seen a wedding with so many people always dancing and singing throughout the entire evening. I kept being told all night that it was the brides family as if a disclaimer was needed. I know one thing for sure, they really enjoyed themselves and have Ali, Beattie and the following vendors to thank:

Caterer Harvest Moon, Officiant Claire Goodman, DJ Mark Allen, Photographer William Walker, Blue Ridge Floral, Hair & Makeup by Bristles Hair Salon, Blue Ridge Tours for buses and Skyline Tent Company.
