Blue Mountain Lodge Wedding: Matt + Heather

Weddings

Matt and Heather have such a beautiful love story, they met back in 2012 during their college years, everything started as a friendship and ended in a lovely Hybrid Mountainside wedding surrounded by their family and friends. Matt and Heather’s Blue Mountain Lodge wedding was perfect and full of personal and meaningful details with a rustic and scenic ambiance. Check all the beautiful details below and find great inspiration.

THE VENUE – BLUE MOUNTAIN LODGE WEDDING

Blue Mountain Lodge is located high on a cliff in Virginia’s enchanting Blue Ridge with with a spectacular view of the Shenandoah Valley, breathtaking! The best views are from the reception from the balcony. Just beautiful!

The ceremony was on the lawn with the mountain view, mocktail hour under the building, and the reception was inside the building.

Décor and Personal Details

The color palette was Navy, Plum and Rose Gold with a nod to Irish heritage. These colors were used throughout the wedding including the invitation suite, flowers, reception tables and all décor.

The reception area was beautifully decorated with white poly linen, navy blue satin napkins and Navy blue satin pintuck for accent tables. The reception tablespaces were live potted Ivy and copper with wooden accents.

The farmer’s market table (dessert table) was decorated with a 2 tier naked rustic cake, mini pies in different flavors, wooden crates and framed pictures of family members that weren’t physically present.

Matt and Heather added many personal details and touches throughout the wedding to demonstrate their styles and personalities. These are some of the details:

Antique sitting room, the couple loves antiques so they included some of their favorite items to the décor in a beautiful antique set up.
Escort card display made by the bride and groom.
Ring pillow was last used for Matt’s Grandma Mae’s wedding.
Hot sauce favors made from scratch by Bride and Groom.
The adventure table, this was the card and gifts table.
The Farmers market table, dessert table.
Hubby & wifey mugs.
Groom’s guitar. The groom and his band played a few songs to welcome guests to the reception. It was so much fun!

The ceremony

The ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt. Matt (the groom) was waiting for the bride at the altar playing his guitar while she walked down the aisle (so cute). And then they knocked it out of the park with their personally written vows (insert watery eyes). It was perfect!
