A Gorgeous Fall Soirée at Red Maple Vineyards

By The Perfect Palette - October 11, 2019 -

Leah of Leah Coppotelli Photography and Justina of Fitting Fêtes got together to plan this dreamy Hudson Valley editorial. From Justina, "We knew exactly how we wanted someone to feel as they saw the final images: inspired by the beauty of the Hudson Valley and free to make their wedding day completely their own."

"We searched high and low for a venue that would convey this feeling and as soon as we set foot on Red Maple Vineyard’s sweeping landscape, we knew we had found it. Stunning in every direction, it celebrates all that the Hudson Valley has to offer: local food, good wine, and romantic vistas to get lost in. Every single element of this shoot was chosen with purpose."

"We aimed for a simple elegance that would enhance the beauty of the venue, but never distract from it. Our couple, who have been married for almost five years and own a Wedding Band, also inspired us and we kept their personalities in mind when deciding upon what traditional elements to do away with and where to place the most visual emphasis."

"A wedding day is an occasion to celebrate the love story of each couple and we firmly believe each element chosen should reflect this journey in some way." A Gorgeous Fall Soirée at Red Maple Vineyards

"We curated a team of vendors that could contribute to the unique wedding we dreamt up and interpret the overall theme of natural beauty in their own way." A Gorgeous Fall Soirée at Red Maple Vineyards

"The centerpieces of this design were flowers by Three Notch Florals, table numbers and “place pendants” by Framed Florals, and an invitation suite and signage by Cut Above Stationery."

"We wove hand painted and wooden details into the overall look to tie into the venue-owned farm tables and the picturesque setting."

"The tablescapes were an aspect of this editorial where we emphasized the careful balance we were aiming for between an upscale and relaxed aesthetic."

"Soft grayish blue napkins by Bayith were carefully nestled between imprinted petal plates and modern blue toile China from Party Rental LTD."

"The stemware had intricate etched details for an elegant feel to balance out the simpler flatware. Large floral arrangements at the base of the tables created a grand appearance and cohesively brought together our color scheme of warm light brown, gold, soft grey, dusty blue and a uniquely bold coral for fall."

"When it came to attire, the soft blue accent that was present on the tables was again echoed in our groom’s suit from Black Lapel and the bride's silk set pajamas from Burgundy Fox."

"Erin wore a stunning dress from Elizabeth Dye and a whimsical veil by Wayfarer Bride with subtle dot detailing to match the groom’s button down shirt, both borrowed from True North Bridal Studio."

"The finishing touches came from Hushed Commotion with statement earrings to dress up her gown and a jeweled belt to add just the right touch of texture and some major sparkle from her engagement ring and band from Susie Saltzman."

"A soft “undone” but polished updo by Katie Kelly Hair and a bold monochromatic makeup look from Beauty by Alana Maria to complete her look was anything but expected."

"To us, no accessories were more important than the radiant smiles and constant laughter seen on Erin and Drew’s faces throughout the photos."

"From the golden light that falls on our couple during their sunset ceremony to the many flowers that surrounded them that day, we hope this shoot inspires many city couples to head upstate, take advantage of the beauty of the Hudson Valley, and make it truly personal!"
