Autumn Winery Wedding

When bride and groom, Alex & Brian, contacted me and met with me about 15 months prior to their November 7, 2014, wedding, I knew after our meeting that this would be a fun wedding of which to be a part.  Alex, a self-proclaimed, Type A personality, was very organized and knew what she and Brian wanted.  They just knew they would need assistance in getting things done as they both have very busy professional lives! Among other tasks, I created a customized checklist for us to follow as we planned, which was a huge asset for this bride to have access to!

It all started with their engagement photo session on a snowy day in January 2014 -- the pictures, taken by Frozen in Time Photography were beautiful!  Contact Angie for access to these lovely winter engagement shots, as well as the beautiful wedding pictures!

Alex & Brian chose Linganore Winecellars in Mt. Airy, MD, as their venue for the wedding. The wedding colors of blue, cream and brown were perfect for her vision of their rustic elegance-style wedding in this space. Fine Cuisine Catering did a "delicious" job with the the meal and were able to easily work with this gluten-free bride and her mother.  Wines and beer from Linganore were very nice and added a festive touch to a fall wedding and reception!

Yes, it was a very windy day -- but the sun was shining, making it a gorgeous day!

The morning of the wedding, Alex and her attendants and mom enjoyed a time of pampering at Rose Brooke Studio as they relaxed and got their hair and makeup done.

Alex's uncle performed the ceremony for them and did a lovely job interspersing personal elements important to Alex and Brian in among the vows, ring exchange and the more traditional parts of the ceremony.

In order to have a dedicated space for the ceremony, Alex asked Fabrication Events to create a beautiful backdrop of ivory harmony drape with twinkle lights.  This then was moved to become the backdrop behind the sweetheart table.  Also, fun cafe lighting and some Christmas lights were strung above the dance floor, illuminating that space beautifully.

Blossom and Basket Boutique provided the flowers for the wedding and reception, which included beautiful bouquets and lovely tall centerpieces, which were perfect with the tall ceilings in the winery's ballroom.

Gorgeous floral centerpieces!!

DJ Scott Albin, of Great Scott Productions, had guests on the dance floor all night -- even grandma enjoyed a dance with her family!

Yummy cupcakes, provided by Piece O'Cake, were enjoyed by all -- guests could choose from Lemon cupcakes with buttercream frosting, Cocoa Cinnamon Dulce cupcakes ,and Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing!

Later in the evening, guests enjoyed both a popcorn and a candy bar buffet!  Alex created the layout for these treats, and snapped a picture so it was set up just as she wanted, with the popcorn and the candy, in separate containers, and interspersed with each other.

Guests LOVED this candy bar and popcorn buffet!

Thank you to Alex & Brian for asking me to be a part of your wedding planning, 

from beginning to end!  I enjoyed it and you!
