It was such a thrill to work with Jacelyn and Colin on their wedding. They had a large portion of the planning done when they came to us. However, Jacelyn had hoped we could further assist her with putting it all together. As soon, as we found out that both the ceremony and reception would be at Chaumette, we were sold.
Chaumette is a beautiful winery a little over a 1 hour drive from St. Louis in Ste Genevieve, MO. The drive alone is breathtaking, but the winery is every more gorgeous. The couple and their 150+ guests would have to travel, in essence making this a destination wedding, and we were up to the task! The couple knew relatively quickly in their planning that they would want to entertain all of their guests, and not be figuring out logisitics of vendor deliveries.
The ceremony was held in the most adorable chapel that is on the grounds at Chaumette. It is in pristine condition, and was actually moved from the St Louis area! Following the ceremony, the couple was whisked away by an antique car, complete with cans trailing behind, and all.
For the design elements, our beautiful bride wanted to encorporate vintage items like pearls and old picture frames. She wanted a romantic reception, and wanted to down play the wall to wall french doors that allowed dramatic views of the wine country. Normally these views would be priceless, but because it would not be dark until late in the evening, the decision was made to pipe and drape the entire room and use uplighting to ensure drama and romance.
We utilized high, medium, and low centerpieces on different table linens, to further the intrigue. In these centerpieces, we used antique picture frames, pearls, and other eclectic items the bride had on hand. This decor really complimented the already eclectic and vintage decor of Chaumette.
The bride and groom and all of their guests were smiling ear to ear that day. The weather was PHENOMENAL, and everyone was able to take advantage of all that Chaumette had to offer.
Congrats Jacelyn & Colin, and thank you for letting us be part of your big day!
