Jacob and Kelley: July Wedding at the Winery



I will always remember Kelley.  She is one of the first Brides I had the pleasure of working with at Chaumette.  I instantly found her to be adorable, inside and out! 

 She aslo introduced me to http://www.etsy.com/ .   She ordered this wedding tree from etsy:

Instead of a guest book, her guest would use a stamp pad and add their thumbprint to the tree, then sign their name.  I would suggest a visit to the website would be worth  your time, I found a lot of neat things there.
I wanted to share a quote from Kelley:
"I come from a family of wine lovers who enjoy visiting wineries in all parts
of the United States. We are lucky that among all of the wineries we have
seen, our favorite winery is in our own backyard in Southeast Missouri.
Chaumette is a breathtaking winery that rests at the peak of a rolling hill.
It has the feeling of a mom and pop winery, but has amenities to suggest
otherwise. Two years ago, my finance and I stood on the porch outside
Chaumette's tasting room while looking out over the beautiful countryside.
It was here that we made the easy decision to choose Chaumette as our
wedding venue.  We were able to use the elegant and natural atmosphere at
Chaumette to create our dream wedding. There is no need for excess
decorations at Chaumette, because the venue speaks for itself. We added
simple paper cones to the church pews and filled them with fresh cut vines
from our own garden. The reception tables were also adorned with simple
greenery, and corks were used as placeholders. We received so many
complements on the food, and there was plenty to leave every guest more than
satisfied. Our favorite part of the day was when we snuck out of the
reception with our photographers so that we could have some snapshots of us
enjoying the last few minutes of daylight on the grounds. Our wedding gave
the feel of destination wedding, while being so close to home."
Here are some of those photos that she is speaking of:
Here is one of my favorites:

Kelley and Jacob's Ceremony took place at our Chapel, St. Vincent's in the Vineyard, and their reception was held in the Jacquelyn Ballroom and the adjoining Genevieve Room.  They had around 180 guest in attendance.  The menu for the evening was two themed stations, American and Italian.  Served for dessert were some very delicious cupcakes!
Here are a few more pics from that day:
