Winery Wedding!

We were able to attend as guests (!) a small wedding at a winery in Virginia earlier in early March.  While my husband performed the ceremony, it was so nice to be there as a guest and not as the coordinator!  The bride thought of everything and it was a beautiful, intimate affair!

The Early Mountain Winery in Madison, VA (near Charlottesville) provided a romantic setting for this wedding. A beautiful, sunny day matched the sunny disposition of all who attended!  The afternoon setting sun provided perfect lighting for pictures and the flow from late afternoon into evening. 

With about 30 people in attendance, the room was filled with love for Brook & Eugene as they shared their promises to each other in marriage.

 

The wine barrels flanked the fireplace for the focal point of the ceremony. 

On one were pictures of loved ones with a memorial candle and the other held the unity candle.

 

 

Placecards followed the theme of rustic charm.

Brook and her father walked down.

 

 

 

The other side of the ballroom area was set for the dinner reception.

 

 

 

Beautiful cake!!

 

 

 

 

The hallway area which joined the winery to the ballroom was a perfect location for the cocktail hour before the wedding and then for guests to pick up favors at the end of the evening!  Brook and Eugene provided personalized bottles of water, small bottles filled with mint M&M's in their blue & white colors, packages of red licorice, individual tea bags, mason jars with hot chocolate mix already measured out (just add hot water!) and monogrammed paper bags for easy carrying!

 

 

Thank you to Brook and Eugene for a beautiful wedding!

We were delighted to a be a part of this special day!
