Golden Lakeside Luxury at Mount Ida

Alyssa and Michael ‘s intimate autumn celebration unfolded on a dreamy private lake at Mount Ida Farm & Vineyard. Boundless Love Events orchestrated the sun-soaked afternoon and captivating Water’s Edge floating dock vows, ushering guests down the property’s white sand beach. The Weddings by Vogue floral design team elevated the earthy rustic aesthetic with natural elements intertwined in sweet blooms in the softest shades of pink, blush and ivory.

Steeped in wine country splendor and gilded October beauty, the private and exclusive Charlottesville wedding welcomed wide smiles and celebratory hugs. An intimate wedding party of two bridesmaids and groomsmen beamed in champagne velvet gowns and steel grey suits.  Amative Creative had fun with the playful couple, strolling the blissful bucolic estate, capturing their hand-written letters to each other alongside tender getting ready moments in Mount Ida’s 1795 manor. The bride’s far-reaching veil flowed endlessly in the evening breeze, setting a striking scene while autumn’s harmonious trees reflected on the pristine lake in a wash of reds and burnt orange.

As the sun dipped low, guests gathered for an open-air cocktail hour before moving into the softly draped winery space for a night of celebration beneath regal chandeliers. Exchange Events & Catering served a refined, seasonal menu, setting the tone for a relaxed and joyful reception. The evening culminated in heartfelt first dances, laughter echoing beneath the twinkle of candlelight as the newlyweds swayed into the night.
