Alix & Kyle

Natural earth tones and blossoming spring blooms set the unpretentious tone at Alix and Kyle’s Charlottesville wedding. The Market at Grelen’s elaborate tree nursery and lush greenery painted a magical flourishing bucolic scene. Charlottesville wedding planner Exchange Events accentuated guest experiences in guest book Jenga blocks and adorable mini potted plant party favors.
 
A bridesmaid’s palette of soft nude and blush complemented the groomsmen’s heather blue suits and pale pink ties. Charlottesville wedding floral designers from Verde Natural Florals elevated the enchanted countryside energy with handcrafted ivory bouquets and wild arrangements of seasonal flowers, herbs and foliage welcoming guests to the airy ceremony and reception spaces. The couple shared vows under a weeping cherry tree in the Half Moon Garden before whisking guests away to a whimsical greenhouse reception set in blush linens and gold flatware.
 
Charlottesville wedding photographer Sarah Houston caught fairytale moments in the couple’s private first look, a tearful pre-ceremony letter exchange and sunny kisses among the nursery’s budding April acreage. Family and wedding party portraits unfolded in front of endless lush valley and Blue Ridge Mountain backdrops.
 
Exchange Events + Catering delivered quintessential high-touch Charlottesville wedding catering through superior regionally grown and farmed food. Signature cocktails garnished with fresh cherries and strawberries and homemade cookies displayed in glass jars added to the familial hospitality. Cake Bloom presented a three-tiered masterpiece enhanced with fresh-plucked florals and entertainment by Party Masters kept the greenhouse dance floor buzzing.
