Kate & Brett

Kate and Brett’s modern summer Charlottesville wedding called on rich earth tones and Mount Ida’s secluded wine country wedding venue sanctuary. The exclusive gated countryside estate shone in June splendor with relaxed and refined lakeside views and picturesque groves. Charlottesville wedding designers from Just a Little Ditty curated the celebration using notes of ivory and copper mixed with natural greenery.

The talented Charlottesville wedding florists at Floral Images Design Studio created a blooming ceremony centerpiece that played up the sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain backdrop and remarkable tablescapes that put mod chic spins on traditional elegant arrangements. The Lodge reception sparkled with crystal chandeliers and soaring wood-beamed ceilings and Charlottesville wedding caterers from Harvest Moon Catering wowed with regionally sourced fare and exceptional service.

Sarah Cramer Shields documented teary first looks in the green groves, family laughs and embraces and all the touching real moments that made the day sparkle. The Bent Mountain Trio and DJ Justin Goodman kept guests engaged and grooving on the dance floor.
