An Intimate Fall Affair: Kortnie & Kavanaugh’s Cozy Vineyard Wedding at Keswick
Kortnie & Kavanaugh’s wedding at Keswick Vineyards on October 5, 2024, was an intimate celebration that beautifully embraced the essence of fall. The day was perfect, with golden sunlight warming the vineyard during the ceremony and a light evening chill to cap off the day, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It felt like the kind of weather we wish every wedding could have!
Fall colors were front and center, lending a sense of warmth to every detail. The couple’s florals were a testament to this, with rich, autumnal hues adorning the pergola under which they exchanged vows. Positioned in front of the stunning vineyard and mountain backdrop, the setting was picture-perfect. Guests were welcomed to the ceremony by a charming gesture—each was given a fabric sachet filled with petals to toss as Kortnie and Kavanaugh made their exit as newlyweds.
Cocktail hour took place beneath the grand canopy of a 300-year-old oak tree on the East Lawn of Edgewood Estate. The bar featured an adorable sign of their drink options, complete with an illustration of their beloved dog, adding a personal touch. Guests then found their name cards, each propped up by decorative wine corks, seamlessly blending into the vineyard vibe.
The cozy fall ambiance continued as guests entered the Aurora tent for the reception. The pre-set salads, adorned with seasonal squash, were a perfect nod to the autumn harvest. Everything about the décor—from the earthy tones to the thoughtful details—invited guests to settle into the warmth of the evening.
Their cake was a standout feature, both in appearance and flavor. A beautifully crafted sign detailed the flavors, and the pistachio cake with chocolate ganache was as delicious as it sounded! The couple’s attention to detail created a wedding experience that felt personal, seasonal, and incredibly special.
