11 Years In The Making

Nicole & Steve finally had their vineyard wedding at Keswick Vineyards in Charlottesville, VA on Sunday, May 25th in front of family and friends. After an eleven year courtship, the day had finally come! Nicole is one of those brides that is into every detail. All her hard, creative work paid off for everything looked beautiful for this Virginia winery wedding. She chose Tiffany's blue to be her accent color mixed with purple. Instead of the traditional buffet dinner, Nicole and Steve had food stations for their guests. I love this idea for it prevents one long line and it gets your guests up and out of their seats and moving around and mingling with others while choosing the food station that is best for them. Groovin' Gourmet did a great job providing this service and included a delicious pastry table at the end of the night. One thing I saw at this wedding that I haven't seen done this way was Nicole created a book that had pages with envelopes glued to them. She then had cards that guest would fill out with suggestions on what makes a successful marriage. They would insert those cards into the envelopes and now Nicole and Steve had a book filled with great advice. Thanks to all the Charlottesville wedding vendors that night for doing such a great job and having fun while doing it: Groovin' Gourmet Catering, Barb Wired Event Planning, Photographer Ken Pak, DJ Stroud, Verde Natural Florist, Officiant Brian Purcell, Make-up Artist Anne Kibler of Charlottesville Makeup Artist, Pastry Chef Favorite Cakes, rentals by Festive Fare and Camryn Limousine.
