Delicate Summertime Blues, Garden Florals and Steel Gray at Keswick Vineyards
Jenn and Ben’s June Charlottesville wedding at Keswick Vineyards was a Virginia wine country dream swathed in soft feminine floral prints, sophisticated steel gray suits and summery shades of ocean blue. Emphasizing the estate’s early June vineyard beauty, fine art floral design by Cultivate Event Co. bedecked tented and outdoor spaces in wild greenery, bountiful ivory blooms and hints of blue buds. Floral artists built a natural free-flowing bouquet of white and ivory blooms dashed with sapphire blue florals and lush leafing, perfectly offsetting the bride’s sweeping white veil and stylish button-backed sleeveless gown
Danielle Norton Photography captured tender private vow moments tucked away in the trees, the groom wiping away tears as his bride walked the lush ceremony lawn backed by immaculate grapevine rows and rolling Blue Ridge Mountain peaks and a breathtaking purple sky violet hour. Charlottesville wedding planners Lane Stewart Events ensured seamless flow from the ceremony lawn, past the grand fountain and historic columned mansion, to the terraced cocktail hour and into the luminous hand-stitched Aurora tent for dinner and dancing.
The talented catering team from L'Etoile Catering delivered iconic custom menus with gourmet butlered hors d’oeuvres and a plated dinner. Artistic layered quesadilla bites and prawns flowed into first course Southwest salads and main course grilled steak with chimichurri, Latin spiced salmon with avocado salsa and grilled local vegetables.
BBJ Rentals and MS Events set a gorgeous countryside romance reception space along wooden farm tables with bronze flatware, vintage glassware, gauzy table runners and soft blue floral linens. Tall cornflower blue candlesticks and ivory and lively blue wildflower centerpiece florals brought gentle notions of Southern hospitality to the reception tent where family and friends made memories to last a lifetime.
