Haley & Ryan

Haley and Ryan’s mid-November wedding at Early Mountain Vineyards was draped in exquisite rich tones and textures. From the groom’s posh velvety tux to the bridesmaids’ deep emerald floor-length gowns, the fall Charlottesville wedding accentuated the crisp autumnal landscape.

The bride’s full flourishing textured dress and shorter spirited party dress with sparkling dancing sneakers set the stage for a chic ceremony followed by an engaging, playful reception. Photographers with La Vie en Rose Photo captured glowing first looks and wedding party portraits among the property’s sunlit native grasses and awe-inspiring fall foliage. The Blue Ridge Mountain foothills and 305 sweeping acres just beyond the grapevine-nestled guest cottage made for idyllic pre-ceremony photos.

Floral designers from Steelcut Flower Co. built free-flowing bouquets in wild layers of white, magenta and emerald blooms while boutique vintage and specialty rentals from Argent Event Rentals, Rent E-Quip and Paisley & Jade adorned the golden grandiose event hall in cream satin linens, deep green napkins, gold flatware and modern French stemware.

Wedding planners with Lane Stewart Events orchestrated a divine indoor ceremony beneath cascading greenery pouring from the event hall’s timeless barrel stave chandeliers. Striking golden tower candle centerpieces mingled with verdant rustic foliage and florals under a dramatic fireplace and vaulted ceilings for a warm, welcoming cocktail hour and reception. Guests connected over signature margaritas and lavish lounge seating as monogrammed light fixtures and disco balls set the tone for a high-energy dance party.
