Rossana & Jose’s Winter Wonderland Wedding at Stone Tower Winery

Rossana and Jose’s wedding at Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg, VA, was nothing short of magical. Inspired by a winter wonderland, their special day was a beautiful blend of timeless elegance, romance, and heartfelt cultural touches. From the candlelit ceremony in the cellar to the enchanting first dance on the clouds, every moment was carefully designed to reflect their love story.

A Love Story Rooted in Thoughtful Details

Rossana and Jose’s journey to “I do” began with an intimate and meaningful proposal. After purchasing their new home, Jose planned a romantic surprise, filling their fireplace with red roses and candles while displaying picture frames with the coordinates of their most meaningful locations—the place they met and their first date. When Rossana turned around, Jose was on one knee, asking her to spend forever with him. This level of detail and intention carried through to their wedding day, making every aspect feel personal and unique.

A Picturesque Wedding at Stone Tower Winery with Breathtaking Views

Stone Tower Winery was the perfect setting for their wedding. With sweeping vineyard views and a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere, it created an ideal backdrop for their January celebration. The couple fell in love with the venue’s wine, stunning landscapes, and the warmth of the cellar and ballroom spaces, which enhanced their winter wonderland vision.

Classic, Elegant Wedding Attire

Rossana’s bridesmaids wore ethereal French blue chiffon dresses from Revelry, perfectly complementing the wintery aesthetic. The groom and his groomsmen looked classic and refined in sleek black tuxedos, adding to the timeless sophistication of the day. Their color palette of dusty blue, gray, white, and silver created a soft, monochromatic elegance that felt effortlessly chic against the winery’s rustic backdrop.

A Ceremony Steeped in Romance

The ceremony took place in Stone Tower Winery’s intimate cellar room, where soft bistro lights, a stunning arbor adorned with greenery, and flickering candles lined the aisle, setting a dreamy and romantic ambiance. The beauty of the setting mirrored their love—warm, inviting, and deeply rooted in their journey together. One of the most special moments of the day was seeing Rossana walk down the aisle, her presence radiating elegance, while Jose stood waiting with heartfelt anticipation.

A Cocktail Hour Fit for a Fairytale

After the ceremony, their guests joined cocktail hour, embracing the joy and celebration that followed their vows. One of the most memorable details was the Beauty and the Beast-inspired seating chart, a special request from Jose. The elegant display featured clear boxes with delicate red roses—a beautiful way to blend classic romance with their unique personalities. Guests sipped on delicious sangria and wines while enjoying the stunning mountain views that make weddings at Stone Tower Winery so breathtaking.

Reception Magic at Stone Tower Winery

After cocktail hour, guests transitioned into the ballroom, where an elegant, candlelit reception awaited them. Chandeliers cast a warm glow over beautifully set tables, and the sweetheart table featured the repurposed ceremony arbor, tying the two spaces together seamlessly.

The night was filled with laughter, dancing, and incredible entertainment. The 360° photo booth became an instant hit, capturing the joy and energy of their guests. And of course, the dessert bar by Pampas Fox was both a visual and culinary masterpiece—beautifully designed and absolutely delicious.

The Dance Floor Came to Life

One of the most unforgettable moments was Rossana and Jose’s first dance. As they swayed to their song, a “dancing on the clouds” effect transformed the ballroom into an ethereal dreamscape, making the moment feel like a real-life fairytale. The energy only continued to build from there, with a bilingual DJ keeping the dance floor packed all night, blending Latin beats with crowd-favorite hits to celebrate both families’ cultures in style.
