Emily and Heyward's Classically Beautiful Wedding at Keswick Vineyards
On Saturday, August 10, 2024, Emily and Heyward tied the knot at the stunning Keswick Vineyards, with the historic 1911 Edgewood Estate serving as the perfect backdrop for their special day. Leading up to the wedding, Hurricane Debbie threatened to crash the party, but thanks to the couple's clever precaution of burying a bottle of bourbon, the storm steered clear, leaving them with a day of beautiful sunshine.
The wedding ceremony was a timeless affair, with Emily and Heyward opting for a black-and-white theme that complemented the classic architecture of the Edgewood Estate. The estate's white paint and black shutters perfectly matched the bride and groom's attire, creating an elegantly refined look. The bridesmaids added a pop of color with their pink dresses, each selecting a style that suited them best, adding a personalized touch to the bridal party.
As Emily gracefully walked down the aisle to the soothing melodies of the musicians, she was a vision of beauty, captivating everyone present. Following the ceremony, guests were invited to a delightful cocktail hour beneath a majestic oak tree, which provided much-needed shade. A large circular bar in the center became the focal point, offering a variety of refreshing beverages to the guests.
As attendees entered the tented reception area, they were greeted by gold bookshelves adorned with glasses of sparkling wine—a sophisticated and welcoming touch. Delighting their tastebuds were food stations with such delicious entrees of beef, shrimp & grits, just to name a couple. Emily and Heyward also designed custom t-shirts as unique keepsakes for their guests to remember the joyous occasion.
Emily and Heyward's wedding was a celebration of love, elegance, and personal touches, making it a day their friends and family will cherish forever.
