Emily and Colin were married on a clear summer day at Montaluce Winery, surrounded by their dearest loved ones. It was a perfect kick-off to the summer season in Georgia, surrounded by lush vineyards, shaded oak trees, and stunning villas.

Getting Ready

Emily and her bridesmaids prepared for the day’s celebrations together with toasts and quiet bridal reveal outside their villa. Emily’s wedding day look included a lovely floral pearl comb and cathedral veil to accompany her lace gown. Once dressed, Emily and her mom exchanged letters privately and finished getting ready with just the two of them.

Before heading off for the rest of the day, Emily held a first look with her father and grandfather, creating an inclusive experience with the whole family to start her wedding day.

First Look

Before their evening ceremony, Emily and Colin met under a lush oak tree to spend quiet moments together, sharing private vows, tears, and laughs. Between the rich greens of vineyards and Emily’s stunning gown with an endless train and cathedral veil, their First Look was one of incredible beauty.

The Ceremony

A prominent southern oak shaded Emily’s and Colin’s ceremony location overlooking the vineyard. They took advantage of the natural beauty and kept the ceremony design minimal, meaningful, and focused on faith. Wine barrels with lush floral centerpieces welcomed guests into the space, while the aisle was marked with a wine barrel prepared for communion. Emily and Colin shared communion, their vows, and love with those nearest to their hearts. Their ceremony filled guests with a serene sense of peace and nature, and everything felt like perfection.

Reception

Surrounded by wine, cheese, candlelight, and a full display of cakes – guests shared beautiful toasts, indulged in incredible food, and filled the dance floor through to the last song. Emily and Colin exited and said goodbye to guests surrounded by sparklers and ready to start their life together as husband and wife.

Design of the Day

Simple elegance ran throughout the various aspects of Emily and Colin’s wedding celebration, from the soft blue hues of the invitations and bridesmaids’ dresses to the romantic taped candles sprinkled along the reception tables. Lush white and cream florals paired with minimal greenery decorating the reception tables to allow flowing conversation to create an intimate dining experience for guests.
