The Property: Leal Vineyards features beautiful landscapes, trees, and small gardens, perfect for Danielle and her groom to take photos.

The Bride:

The Dress: Danielle will wear a beautiful a-line Jim Hjelm gown with a sweetheart neckline and patterned skirt; a dress that is both traditional and unique.

The Bridesmaids: Danielle's ladies will wear deep purple Wtoo gowns, accessorized with lavender and cream bouquets. 

The Groom & Groomsmen: The men will wear charcoal suits and boutonnieres to match the bridal bouquet. The groom will wear a light blue tie to stand out and his men will wear purple ties to match the bridesmaids.

The Cocktail Hour: The cocktail tables will feature purple and light blue linens, complete with matching floral centrepieces.

The Escort Cards: A wooden display with hanging tags decorated with purple calligraphy and blue or purple flowers will give guests their seating assignments.

The Reception: The wooden reception tables will be decorated with light blue runners, violet place settings, and wooden table numbers with glittered numbers. To complete the look, centrepieces will be created with wooden slabs topped with candles and surrounding flowers, along with mercury glass votives and small vases filled with blue and purple bouquets.

The Music: A live band will provide the music for the reception celebration.

The Cake: The purple and blue ombre tiered cake will be topped with a light blue "love" topper and sit atop a wooden cake stand.

The Favors: Guests will get to take home a little piece of this vineyard wedding with custom stemless wine glass favors.

Real Couple: Meet the Williamsons

November's Real Couple: The Williamsons


Aimee and Eric are two of the sweetest, most loving and God-fearing people I know. I've known Eric since high school and met Aimee through the Bible study where these two met each other. They're quirky, funny, and so willing to be themselves in all situations. Enjoy getting to know this adorable pair each Thursday during the month of November.

Enjoy meeting the Williamsons!
