Elliston Vineyards | Marcia and Jeff

Today, we’re featuring a beautiful Elliston Vineyards wedding as we celebrate the union of Marcia and Jeff. It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with Elliston Vineyards and witness each couple’s unique vision come to life.

Elliston Vineyards Wedding

Before the ceremony begins, Marcia and Jeff surprise each other with a first look. They can’t hold back their smiles (and neither can we!). The stone exterior and grand castle entrance make for a romantic backdrop.

What a stunning arch! The lavender and pink flowers draped over the gazebo are enchanting. It’s the perfect place for the couple to share their vows.

As we arrive at the reception party, the sweetheart table gives us modern and rustic vibes with a green wall, custom neon signage, and simple floral centerpiece. 

The guest tables are just as stunning with the sea blue tablecloths and wine cork lights. 

It’s time to party! The couple takes centerstage as they share their first dance, followed up by cutting their cake. We wouldn’t object to a slice!

A major congratulations to Marcia and Jeff! Your special day was pure magic. 

We want to thank our creative partners for delivering such a gorgeous celebration.
