Fall Wedding at Highgrove

What an absolutely amazing weekend for two beautiful weddings at Highgrove. The weather was autumn perfection for our two couples who celebrated their special days with us. Below are the details and pictures from our Saturday wedding.

Our Saturday couple did a fantastic job of putting together an amazing event for their friends and family-- and we were so happy to be a part. Guests were greeted on the front porch with a welcome mocktail-- our delicious Pineapple Spritzer served in champagne flutes, before heading out to the back lawn for the ceremony. The happy couple exchanged their vows overlooking the lake with simple, yet sweet grapevine balls hanging from the pergola. The bridesmaids dresses were fabulous- hot pink halter top tea length gowns-- fun and festive! For cocktail hour, the party headed up to our patio where everyone loved the Aviator Bar set-up, complete with cocktail bar chairs and snacks to go along with the beer and wine. In addition, the guests were invited to try out two signature drinks-- Rum and Coke and an Apple Cider Martini-- how perfect for Fall. The appetizers featured were our Crab Cakes with Aioli Sauce, Fresh Fruit Cosmos with Key Lime Sauce, and our Carolina Pulled Pork on Corn Cakes with Collards. Dinner was held in our garden ballroom which was absolutely stunning. The linens, flowers, and uplighting all worked together to create a warm and beautiful room for the party. Guests dined on our buffet selection of Autumn Spinach Salad, Cabernet Braised Short Ribs with White Cheddar Grit Cakes, Pecan Crusted Bourbon Chicken, Risotto with Leeks, and Seasonal Vegetables. Following the champagne toast and cake cutting, the bride and groom treated their guests to a candy table in the house. It was gorgeous event from start to end and we wish both of our couples all the best!
