Arielle & Jacoby’s Wedding Opens 2024 Season
Keswick Vineyards 2024 wedding season started on Saturday, April 20th, with the marriage of Arielle & Jacoby. To assure a beautiful wedding day, Arielle & Jacoby did the Southern tradition of burying a bottle of bourbon as it sure did work! The weather was just perfect! Blue skies, the warmth of the sun and a breeze to keep everyone comfortable.
Arielle chose pink and purple as her wedding colors. The gardens of Keswick Vineyards must have heard because they were blooming with pink and white azaleas, pink rose bushes, and purple lilac trees. Her florist did an amazing job creating very large floral arrangements to grace the front of the ceremony fountain. I also liked the simplicity of the flowers on the reception tables. Versus having one large centerpiece, multiple smaller bud vases were used. The large florals for the ceremony were repurposed to decorate the front of their sweetheart table and DJ table along with the stairs leading down to the tent.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the East Lawn of Edgewood Estate. They enjoyed both stationary and passed appetizers. And look at this adorable cocktail sign showcasing their pet cats. You also will see a sneak peak of their cats on their wedding cake too!
What also made cocktail hour, and their ceremony, extra special was that Jacoby’s father, who is a musician, played his trumpet. Arielle’s entrance to the ceremony was a solo from Jacoby’s father as well as their exit song. At cocktail hour, he was joined by two other musicians to entertain everyone with some really great jazz music!
As you can see by these photos, this was one gorgeous wedding and everything was just perfect! What a wonderful way to start our very busy 2024 wedding season. Thank you, Arielle, Jacoby and all their family and friends for making our first wedding such a success!
