September Light & Vivid Charm at Castle Hill Cider

In the warm embrace of September, Ali and Josh celebrated their wedding with joyful energy and vivid charm at Castle Hill Cider in Keswick, Virginia. Framed by rolling hills and early autumn’s golden glow, the ceremony unfolded outdoors beneath open skies. Wooden chairs lined with flowers in coral, marigold, and blush framed the aisle, as laughter and love filled the air. After exchanging vows, the couple wandered through the orchard hand in hand, their happiness glowing against the soft countryside light.

Inside the reception, autumn’s richness came alive. Crimson and gold dahlias spilled across lush greenery, while navy damask linens and sage-toned glassware dressed long harvest tables beneath a canopy of twinkling lights. Checkered floors invited guests to dance as Nationwide Coverage Music filled the evening with vibrant live performances. Candlelight flickered against weathered wood, and botanical menu cards—graced every place setting, adding an artistic touch to the evening’s thoughtfully curated details.
