On a crisp winter day, The Estate at River Run was transformed into a picturesque setting for Amanda and Adam’s enchanting wedding. The grounds, blanketed in a delicate frost, set a magical scene for a day filled with love, laughter, and festive cheer.
The groom and his groomsmen started their day in the pool house, where they enjoyed a relaxed morning playing corn hole filled with laughter and camaraderie. Meanwhile, Amanda and her bridesmaids gathered in the luxurious Primal Suite. Clad in crimson red pajamas, they embraced the seasons spirit, sharing joyful moments and anticipation for the day’s events.
Amanda looked stunning in her beautiful white gown, which featured an elegant lace bodice and sleeves. The groomsmen complemented the winter palette in grey suits with deep purple ties, perfectly matching the rich plum purple dresses of the bridesmaids. This elegant color scheme added depth and sophistication to the winter wedding.
The couple shared a heartfelt first look in the Wedgeroom Ballroom. Amanda descended the elegant wooden spiral staircase, her gown flowing behind her as she met Adam to share their personally written vows. The intimate moment was filled with love and excitement, setting the tone for the rest of the day.
The ceremony took place on the stunning Bluestone Terrace overlooking the James River. Amanda appeared regal as she gracefully made her way down the massive two-sided staircase, her bouquet adorned with red flowers adding a festive touch. Despite the chilly weather, the guests, wrapped in their best winter coats, watched in awe as Amanda and Adam exchanged vows against the breathtaking backdrop of the James River.
Following the ceremony, the celebration moved to the cozy Tuscan Ballroom. The rustic brick walls and fireplace created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The reception was a true winter wonderland, with centerpieces of winter branches adorned with twinkling lights, creating an effect reminiscent of a snowy forest.
Adding to the festive fun, Amanda and Adam delighted their guests with a variety of cakes in different flavors, offering a sweet treat for everyone. They also hosted a bourbon tasting bar in the Foxhaven Room, providing a unique and enjoyable experience for their guests.
After dinner and heartfelt toasts, the festivities continued in the Tuscan Ballroom, where guests danced the night away. The joy and love that filled the room were palpable as Amanda and Adam celebrated their new beginning surrounded by family and friends.
Amanda and Adam’s wedding at The Estate at River Run was a magical winter celebration. The thoughtful details, the beautiful blend of festive colors, and the warmth of the season made it a day to remember.
