Paige & Will

Paige and Will’s heart-felt celebration sparkled with genuine tears and laughter, loving friends and family and a soft bucolic September backdrop. Exclusive, elegant and charmingly rustic, prominent Charlottesville wedding venue Mount Ida Farm & Vineyard welcomed guests to a sunny ceremony cloaked in simple countryside beauty.

Photographers with Amative Creative captured the couple’s spirited, playful love in first-look tears and moments of pure adoration. The groom’s tender reaction as his bride made her way down the aisle melted hearts and guests shared joyful tears and laughter throughout the day. Golden hour wedding party and family portraits were set against the property’s brilliant green late-summer fields and luscious gardens.

Charlottesville wedding planners Lauren Bliss Events guided guests to the al fresco patio cocktail hour and into the stunning Mount Ida event barn for a reception under glowing threaded lighting and sweeping ivory drapery. Florals by Barnswallow Blooms called on summer wildflowers in shades of violet, magenta and lilac, complementing the wedding party’s lavender ties and flowing romantic gowns. Custom décor in deep shades of blue and soft white by Blue Ridge Event Production set the Southern hospitality tone alongside culinary delights crafted by The Local Catering. Evening gifts unfolded in a song performed by the father of the bride, an elaborate cookie table and unforgettable dance floor moves from every generation.
