Kiersten & Ben

Kiersten and Ben’s summer soiree took place at the relaxed and refined Charlottesville wedding venue Mount Ida Farm & Vineyard. Cast in an adoring sunny June glow, the exclusive Virginia country estate delivered endless lulling pastures and Blue Ridge Mountain views.

An evening ceremony overlooked the private estate’s 5,000 acres adorned in lovely ivory blooms by Foxtail Cottage Floral at every glance. Expert Charlottesville wedding floral designers carried the sweet summer romance vibe throughout with a pristine petal-lined aisle on the great lawn, a custom statement ceremony arbor and tasteful natural bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres.

​

Charlottesville wedding rentals and decor from MS Events created welcoming spaces and the team at Karissa Coffey Events orchestrated the day, tapping into graceful hospitable Southern details in guest hand fans and earthy personalized log candle favors. Strung bistro lighting and soft candlelight played off the reception’s sparkling crystal chandeliers inside The Lodge while Charlottesville wedding caterers from Harvest Moon Catering served a farm-inspired family-style meal that included watermelon, feta and arugula salads; rustic country bread baskets, savory pasta and stuffed baked potatoes.

​

Charlottesville wedding photographers from 3 Cats Photography captured every detail with intention and a delicate, thoughtful lens. A touching father-daughter first-look tear, a lively pre-ceremony champagne welcome party and a postcard perfect newlywed violet hour sneak-away comprise an album to forever cherish.
