We had the sweetest wedding here at High Meadows last month...a bride and groom, and their closest family and friends...what joy! Big parties are always fun, but something about the sincere simplicity of this wedding was just delightful. There is no doubt that sometimes, it's just easy to see when a couple is 'made' for each other, and this was one of those times.
I had the pleasure of making their wedding cake, a lovely raspberry & lemon cake with lemon buttercream frosting...it was as pretty as could be, and since there wasn't much left - delicious too! Flowers for the bride came from our gardens, and a few select blooms from my favorite florist Hedge Fine Blooms in Charlottesville. A simple summer luncheon, and games in the yard that afternoon, then off to dinner at our place The Smokehouse Grille. They had the entire balcony for themselves upstairs, and the entire evening to enjoy celebrating with family and friends...what could be better? Oh, and the weather? Rain clouds parted for the outdoor ceremony, and a light cloud cover the rest of the afternoon kept off the summer heat. Perfect!
