Young Love
If I had my eyes closed for this wedding, I could have pictured my daughter’s future wedding. From their ceremony declaring not only their love for each other, but their love for Jesus to her dance with her father to the song “Butterfly Kisses”, the things in common between Charlotte Anne and my daughter were amazing to me. I found out later that she and my daughter both graduated this year from the same college, so I guess that explained a lot.
So, on Saturday, June 15th, Charlotte Anne married her long-time love since the age of 14, Sam, at Keswick Vineyards on a picture-perfect day! Just look how beautiful their ceremony was amongst the front vineyards. Framing the couple was this beautiful broken arch that was repurposed after the ceremony to decorate the entrance to their reception tent. One of the first thing that these two did once officially married was to take communion together. Again, their faith was definitely something everyone could feel and witness this entire day.
Immediately after the ceremony a champagne tower was waiting for the couple and their wedding party to toast their marriage. And look at this platter of delicious appetizers for them all to enjoy. It is always a nice thing to do right after the ceremony for the couple and wedding party to take about 5-10 minutes to have a quick drink and some food to have that special moment alone.
The décor of the reception tent was just spectacular with greenery attached just to the middle section of swagged bistro lights under the tent. This really made the dance floor more of a focus point throughout the evening. I also noticed that they did something a little different for their florals on the head table. Usually, you see a long floral arrangement with candles throughout it. But for Charlotte Ann and Sam’s head table, they had all the florals along the middle section of the head table and then candles only on each side separating the two.
Always be sure to set aside some time to escape for sunset photos. The lighting is always so special for that. Just take a look at how happy these two are!
Charlotte Ann and Sam had a live painter. I can’t express how amazing these painters are and what a lifelong keepsake to forever look at in your home and I highly recommend one if it is within your budget. Just look at how this painting started to how it was looking at the end of the night. The painting will now go home with the painter for all those delicate details to be added but you could already see what an amazing piece of personalized art this will be. LOVE IT!!!!
Again, I just loved so many things from this wedding and I really can see rubber stamping it to be used again for one of my daughters. Time will tell☺
