Lauren & Riley

Lauren and Riley’s October Trump Winery Charlottesville wedding exuded storybook love among Southern style and grace. Fall colors popped in bursts of deep orange and gold, highlighting the estate’s rolling hills, lakes and 227 acres of vines.

Charlottesville wedding planning pros from Just a Little Ditty brought the day together, ensuring smooth flow from the fairytale lakeside ceremony overlooking pristine vineyard rows to the opulent ballroom reception under striking chandeliers. Southern Blooms wedding florists executed the couple’s crimson, blush and ivory palette in fresh locally grown florals and greenery, accentuating thoughtful wine barrel décor and a vintage glass pane window repurposed as wedding day signage, denoting event times and the couple’s Instagram hashtag.

Charlottesville wedding photographer Hope Taylor told the tale through sentimental wedding moments, catching the bridal party’s champagne corking, the couple’s first look in the 18th century English chapel, the bride’s dazzling white sneakers, and the groom’s colorful socks and special cake celebrating his love for the Boston Red Socks. Charlottesville wedding catering masters from The Catering Outfit built an unforgettable buffet-style meal while Favorite Cakes by Kathy and Cakes By Rachel wowed with magnificent desserts.
