Obsessed with this tent look
OK, I’ll admit it. I was OBSESSED with the entire look for Allie & Forrest’s wedding at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, June 8, 2024. Before I even begin, we must give thanks to the Southern tradition of burying a bottle of bourbon because boy did it bless them with such a perfect weather day!
So, let me begin with the very beginning. As soon as guest arrived, they were immediately greeted by servers with trays of sparkling wine to enjoy. Look at the detail of the tray the drinks were on. A clear acrylic tray with a blue lining that matched their welcome sign and a draped napkin reflecting the colors they soon would be swooning in.
Next, guests saw the mountain view, then the iconic fountain, the stately Edgewood Estate, musicians, and giant urns with enormous floral arrangements on them. Such candy for their eyes!!! As the wedding party made their way to the altar, their beauty, especially those cute and adorable flower girls, capture everyone’s attention. And then, the entrance of Allie looking so sophisticated and elegante escorted by her father.
After the ceremony was cocktail hour and just look at the accent panels on this circular bar! WOW!!! I just loved how she had green velvet linens on their cocktail tables that just blended into the background yet with the velvet texture just added a feel of royalty. And if the bar wasn’t enough to impress you, just look at how their seating assignments were displayed! I’ve never seen something like this. The table was covered with moss and then has glass domes covering sheets of paper that listed the table number and names of guests.
Now, reception time. Before guests went down, Allie and Forrest enjoyed a private look of the space. Tears of joy filled Allie’s eyes as she couldn’t believe her vision coming to life right in front of her. Obviously, the floral arrangement hanging over the dance floor and the decorative wall behind the DJ just had everyone in awe. Seriously, just look at how beautiful this is!!! And their chargers, WOW!!!!! I also love the special touch of having a photo of Forrest’s mom occupying her place at the table keeping her memory alive. Sorry for so many photos but I just couldn’t get enough of this décor.
A special moment in every wedding is when the couple have their first dance as a married couple. I just loved how Allie’s parents remained standing behind the couple as they shared their first dance. And then, when it was time for Allie to dance with her father, her mom remained standing in the background to witness up close that special moment we all dream about. I also couldn’t write this blog without mentioning Allie’s father vintage 1951 Chevy car that he road to the wedding in. They sure don’t make them like that anymore.
