A Rustic Autumn Romance at Castle Hill Cider

Sarah and Benjamin’s November wedding at Castle Hill Cider in Keswick, Virginia was a joyful tribute to love and the quiet beauty of fall. Beneath autumn’s golden canopy, they exchanged vows in pastoral splendor at Linden Grove, where centuries-old trees and weathered whiskey barrels framed a rustic altar rich with coral roses, ivory blooms, and amber dahlias.

The bride, radiant in an off-the-shoulder gown, walked down the aisle beside her beaming groom, whose classic black tuxedo reflected the timeless tone of the day. Her look, finished with hair by Citrine Bride and makeup by Allured Artistry, echoed the natural romance of the setting. Emerald bridesmaid gowns and wild floral bouquets brought the seasonal palette to life as the late afternoon sun filtered through the branches.

The celebration continued beneath the venue’s timber beams, where Hunter & Sarah Photography preserved every moment in warm, true-to-life detail. Gilded bistro lights sparkled overhead while guests mingled over craft cocktails and artisanal hors d’oeuvres. Intimate tables dressed with garlands of coral roses and golden dahlias, paired with candlelit centerpieces, set the tone for an evening of refined rustic charm.

Dinner, crafted by The Local Catering, featured locally sourced, seasonal fare that perfectly complemented the atmosphere. Glasses clinked as Sarah and Ben moved through the room, sharing laughter and joy with their closest loved ones. As night fell, the barn transformed into a lively dance floor, with Melody & Company Entertainment keeping spirits high and the energy joyful.

As the last song played and the stars came out, Sarah and Benjamin stepped into their next chapter, their hearts full and their wedding day forever wrapped in the warmth and wonder of a Charlottesville autumn.
