Planned to a "T" (but with a surprise!) | Kim & Jesse
When your bride has a background in coordinating and has hired you to be her month of coordinator, you know you better bring your “A” game for sure and that is exactly what Keswick Vineyards did on Saturday, September 28th, 2019 when Kim and Jesse were married. It was a pleasure to work with them both, but we quickly learned that Kim had a solid vision of their wedding day and did a great job making sure we knew exactly what it looked like. From many spreadsheets, timelines and photos that Kim provided us, we felt very confident in making her dream wedding come true.
Kim knew every detail of this wedding but there was one detail that she was unaware of. Jesse had a custom suit jacket made that was lined with photographs of them. At their first look, Jesse surprised her when he “flashed” her his jacket. It took a second for her to really see what he had done but then you could see her reaction and yes, the tears of happiness started to roll. Way to go Jesse!
I remember when Kim & Jesse toured that they really wanted an outdoor ceremony up close to the vineyard but also really wanted a Catholic priest to marry them. They didn’t think that was possible. Well, I told them we could make that happen here and we did! Not only did they have a Catholic priest, but their outdoor ceremony was simply beautiful with the décor of an arbor with intricately woven florals. The cherry on top for this ceremony was having Rue, the couple’s dog, present to be their ringbearer. Rue is definitely their little girl and is so spoiled but what a sweetheart she is!!!
My favorite detail to this wedding hands down was their head table. Their florist, Tourterelle, nailed it! They had blue tapered candles with glass cylinders protecting the flame going down the entire center length of the farm tables. Accented with blue water goblets, blue napkins with a knot tie and gold colored flatware just made this head table breathtaking!
Lastly, because I have such a sweet tooth, the candy bar was a close favorite too. Who could resist filling a bag with such favorites like licorice, gummy bears, chocolates, suckers, tootsie rolls, taffy, gumballs, etc.? I know I couldn’t!
