Surrounded by vineyard views, Colette & Matt celebrated their love with exquisite floral arrangements, candlelit tables, and personalized touches that brought warmth and charm to every corner of the venue. From an elegant seating display under glass domes to vibrant floral centerpieces and an impressive dessert spread, every detail was thoughtfully curated by the talented Shannon Wellington Weddings and Belovely Floral. This was truly a night to remember, blending sophistication with heartfelt celebration captured by my wonderful associate Gabby.

Timeless Bridal Look 

Colette radiated elegance on her beautiful fall wedding day, embodying a timeless bridal style that felt both classic and refreshingly modern. She wore an Amsale gown that perfectly complemented her natural beauty, with a structured bodice and flowing skirt that felt graceful. Her hair, styled by Sofia Serrano Beauty, was swept back in a soft, romantic updo, keeping the focus on her radiant smile and eyes, which sparkled with excitement. The makeup was subtle and refined, allowing Colette’s natural glow to shine through. With a bouquet of white florals, her look was effortlessly chic, capturing the understated luxury that she and Matt envisioned for their day.

An Enchanting Outdoor Ceremony at The Inn at Grace Winery

The Inn at Grace Winery was the perfect backdrop for Colette and Matt’s outdoor ceremony. Under a vine-laden arbor adorned with vibrant, autumn-hued florals by BeLovely, the couple exchanged vows in a scene straight out of a storybook. The rows of white chairs, set amidst sprawling vineyards and golden sunlight, added a serene beauty to the setting. As guests took their seats, they were surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant floral arrangements, which framed the ceremony space with a blend of elegance and rustic charm. 

Romantic Portraits Amongst the Vineyards 

The historic stone buildings, lush vineyards, and serene open fields created a romantic and intimate setting. The couple’s love and laughter were captured perfectly by Gabby as they strolled hand-in-hand, with golden sunlight filtering through the vines and casting a gentle glow on their expressions. Each embrace and gaze was framed by the rich greenery of the vineyard rows, with soft light highlighting the timeless elegance of Colette’s Amsale gown and Matt’s classic tuxedo. The magic of the winery’s landscape, combined with their chemistry, brought a storybook quality to each photograph.

An Elegant and Vibrant Reception at The Inn at Grace Winery 

The reception inside the charming red barn of Grace Winery was a true reflection of Colette and Matt’s style—refined, romantic, and welcoming. Greeted by a golden-framed welcome sign adorned with florals by BeLovely, guests entered a space transformed with rich floral arrangements that played on the colors of the season.

The seating chart was an impressive display in itself, with each table’s list of names displayed under individual glass cloches, surrounded by fresh floral accents and moss, blending a natural elegance with an old-world charm. 

The table decor featured vibrant and lush floral arrangements that brought a burst of color and romance to the room, with deep purples, pinks, and soft whites. Each table was thoughtfully set with delicate vintage china, richly textured purple napkins, and a mix of gold and glass votives casting a soft, flickering glow over the tablescapes. The use of jewel tones were a great new use for a fresh fall wedding palette. The centerpiece florals were a romantic medley of roses, ranunculus, and wild greenery in vibrant shades of pink, red, and purple, nestled in mercury glass vases. At the heart of the reception, a stunning statement arrangement rose from a central table, towering with cascading greenery, seasonal flowers, and pops of deep magenta and blush blooms. This display, paired with candlelit lanterns at its base, was the perfect focal point in the warm wooden-beamed venue, drawing eyes upward to the high ceilings and adding a sense of organic grandeur to the room.

The winery setting added an additional layer of sophistication. Later on in the evening, guests moved downstairs into a cozy lounge area set amidst stacks of wine barrels, with vintage-inspired seating and soft ambient lighting. Meanwhile, a stunning array of desserts showcased a selection of cakes and mini treats displayed on a rustic wooden table, framed by large wooden doors that complemented the venue’s warm, earthy tones. 

This elegant winery wedding day’s design masterfully blended opulent details with warm, personal touches, creating a dreamy atmosphere where every guest felt welcomed and celebrated. I thought their bold jewel-tone palette was a fresh and bold take on a classic fall palette, infusing the space with vibrant energy and sophistication. Each detail, from the floral installations to the dessert spread, was thoughtfully curated to reflect both elegance and intimacy, making it a night to remember.
