Dreamy Countryside Adoration at Mount Ida

Michelle and Matt’s October soiree at Mount Ida Farm & Vineyard was set in deep nautical blue and sophisticated merlot hues against a rustic autumn landscape. Charlottesville wedding planner Two Byrds Events designed a fun, naturally flowing day that felt genuine and inspired, playing up the relaxed and refined venue. A breathtaking hillside ceremony showcased the property’s sprawling autumn backdrops with sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views and a luscious floral archway by Gregory Britt Design in bountiful fall greenery, ivory, dusty rose and red blooms.

​

The professional floral designer crafted a scenic late-October panorama with gorgeous colorful arrangements reaching skyward at the aisle entrance and a bridal bouquet of elegant ivory blooms. Charlottesville wedding photographer Amative Creative captured authentic moments with family and friends, a gushing dress reveal with bridesmaids, first-look father and bride fist bumps and a brilliant glowing sunset newlywed shoot.

​

As the sun dipped behind the rolling hills, the gated country estate’s restored event barn radiated in romantic pine, roses, bronze flatware and bone china. Caterers from The Catering Outfit served a buffet-style feast of farm salads, gourmet mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, pulled pork, coleslaw and homemade rolls.
