Designer Jessica Holden desired to encompass the feeling of a vineyard in Georgia—think Peaches and Pinot. She aimed to bring in rich burgundy tones to depict the beautiful colors of the grapes growing on the vine while using peach tones to represent their wonderful Georgia peach state. She then decided to throw in a little hot pink just for fun!
For the ceremony, the triple arch was the perfect statement piece on the Matisse Lawn evoking that garden feeling throughout the arch and continuing down the wedding aisle with single-stem roses, allowing the bride and groom to feel as if they were walking through a field of fresh-growing roses.
For the cocktail hour, the guests to have something interactive to enjoy while ensuring it was beautiful. The design team created a gorgeous champagne wall with beautiful draping tulips nestled into some of the glasses
For the reception, the pergola served as the highlight of the dinner party, adorned with vining smilax and hanging stems of flowers while the dinner table created an intimate setting for all the closest family and friends, featuring florals and candles that filled the table without overwhelming it. The rich burgundy, peach, and hot pink tones were maintained, with the addition of some gold accents for richness. The cake spoke for itself, presented simply and surrounded by a lush meadow of flowers.
The bride wore a stunning floral-inspired gown and carried an ombre-style garden bouquet, while the groom donned a rich burgundy to complement the vines. They couldn’t have looked more perfect strolling through the vineyard with a simple, elegant, and timeless style.
