With their love for the outdoors, Alexandra and Chris had a beautiful Early Mountain Vineyards spring wedding at the end of April! Alexandra and Chris’s love story started at Wake Forest, North Carolina when they were both pursuing their Master’s Degrees. A few years later when they were vacationing with Alexandra’s family in Lucerne, Switzerland, Chris got down on one knee in front of the beautiful lake and proposed. One of the most magical places we can think of for a proposal! Of course Alexandra said yes, and they started to plan their beautiful Virginia destination wedding day.
Fast forward to this past spring, and we found ourselves enjoying a gorgeous day for an outside wedding ceremony! We loved how Alexandra’s mother did all of the beautiful floral arrangements throughout the whole day! They were truly beautiful, and impressive DIY details! There were so many wonderful moments between Alexandra and her family, and we had so much fun getting to know her 4 siblings.
I love an Early Mountain Vineyards spring wedding because of the breathtaking view of rolling hills behind the vineyard, which makes for the perfect setting for bridal party pictures. Not to mention inside the venue is absolutely beautiful, and makes you feel like you’ve been transported inside a European chateau! One of the funniest moments fo the night was during the bouquet and garter. Chris went to retrieve Alexandra’s garter and to his surprise he found a bottle of Smirnoff Ice. Of course if you know what being “Iced” means, then you can guess what happened next! Chris was a great sport, and enjoyed every moment of it!
Alexandra and Chris, we wish you the best in life and marriage! Thanks for having us be a part of your big day!
