Lily & Rivers

 This never changed….Lily and Rivers would be married on this special date despite any government order or change in headcount. Each time we met, I could see in their eyes that being married was what they wanted most. It was very important to share this time with their loving family and friends, but some celebrations would have to wait.

With a beautiful forecast, the ceremony was set on the Berry Lawn at the Market at Grelen. Guests enjoyed the unique seating and gorgeous décor by Gregory Britt Floral and Event Design, while taking in the breathtaking mountain views.

The bridal party’s masks gave way to huge smiles as they walked the aisle to support Rivers and Lily in their new beginning. Rivers’ Dad, Jamie had the honor of being their officiant, delivering a touching message of their love story. Though many could not remain for the dinner hour, all were simply happy to share these moments of joy with this adorable couple. Final photos were staged with Lilly Magnolia Photography LLC. In a perfect sunset.

It was then time to celebrate while Exchange Events & Catering created an exceptional and fun dining experience. T.D. Layman with Sound Enforcement DJ Service announced the new Mr. & Mrs. and they lovingly shared their first dance “Dance With Me” by Morgan Evans. Grelen’s reception tent was especially beautiful displaying their Christmas tree with added décor by MS Events. A beautiful display of cake and desserts by Cakes by Rachel topped off the evening.

Déjà Vu

Alyssa & Tylor

 

When I heard from Tylor I couldn’t have been more excited. Years prior I had planned his twin brother Skylor’s wedding and had fond memories of these families. I immediately told Alyssa that she was a very lucky gal!

Tylor grew up in Charlottesville and graduated from UVA, while Alyssa is from Texas where they were living near her parents. They were apprehensive about planning from that distance but we put them at ease…this is what we do. Together we chose all of the team members for a perfect wedding day.

But the first priority was the dress from Serendipity Bridal. Her “yes” was from designer Provonios in a princess design with a full flared skirt, illusion bodice and back in Chantilly, tulle and appliques of thread embroidery with incredible gemstone accents. First seeing Alyssa in this dreamy romantic creation put Tylor in tears.

They chose beautiful Delfosse Vineyards as their venue and for good reason. The views (and the wine) are spectacular! The hillside ceremony was the perfect setting for the October afternoon ceremony where loving friends and family gathered. Perfect Harmony Trio accompanied the bridal party as they prepared for the Tylor to meet Alyssa at the aisle. Immaculate florals by M. Henry Design accented the beauty of the day.

The guests enjoyed a picturesque and relaxed cocktail hour at the foot of the same hillside while Alyssa and Tylor enjoyed some final photos in the sunset. After introducing this entertaining bridal party and the bride and groom to the dance floor for their First Dance, Eric Stamer Catering served a scrumptious family style meal. Commonwealth Cake Company presented an elegant dessert table including a 3-tier cutting cake and darling cake shooters…yummy! The biggest treat was a surprise performance by the Virginia Gentleman, of which Tylor was a member when he was at UVA. The rest of the night was celebrated in dancing with the Knock on Wood Band from Great Party Bands. Others took time to for more fun at the Photo Booth of Charlottesville. A fun conga line led by Barb took us out to the sparkler departure and A&A Limo buses to take us home. We will enjoy these memories for years to come thanks to William Walker Photography.
