The weathermen gets it wrong again!
Katie & Neal were married the same weekend as Kadie & Chuck, my previous blog, on May 7th. As I previously blogged, this entire weekend had rain forecasted at 95% for both Friday and Saturday. Never would I have thought that both Friday and Saturday’s weddings would be able to have their ceremonies outside! But it’s true!!!
Katie & Neal had one giant good luck charm on their vendor team. Jaclyn, from Exchange Events, has some pull with Mother Nature and has managed to not have it rain when she does a wedding at Keswick Vineyards. We always joke about how it doesn’t rain when Jaclyn is here, and she worked her magic again but definitely had to work a little harder this dayJ
Katie & Neal were able to have their ceremony outside. There was a steady mist happening but that didn’t matter to them. Keswick Vineyards is always prepared for our couples, so umbrellas were on hand for guests to use if needed. For the most part, only a few guests chose to keep their umbrellas up during the ceremony. Because of the mist and wind, it was decided it was best to have cocktail hour under our heated tent. Once again, Keswick Vineyards as their venue was prepared for whatever weather conditions Mother Nature had instore.
The positive thing to having a wedding on a cloudy day is that the lighting for photos is perfect! Ask any photographer out there and they will tell you they would hands down take a cloudy, overcast day versus a bright, sunny day to take photos in. This gives the photographer the opportunity to take photos anywhere because they don’t have to worry about the shadows that are a constant issue to battle on sunny days. Just something to remember if you are upset that your wedding day isn’t sunny.
One of the little details that I just loved from this wedding is the individual script wooden names at each place setting. What a lovely keepsake for each guest.
