Dreaming of a vineyard wedding but the thought of planning a destination wedding seems a little too overwhelming? Well, you’re in luck! One of our favorite vineyard estates is right here in the USA, in Texas to be exact, just a few minutes outside of Dallas. No stranger to the “Real Wedding” features of Style Me Pretty, D’Vine Grace Vineyard, has all the charm of a Tuscan getaway with a refined touch of that unbeatable Texas hospitality. Spacious courtyards, lush landscapes, a grand ballroom–with so many gorgeous spaces, the possibilities are endless! And why choose just one? This couple made the most of this fairytale venue and used three different spaces to bring their dream wedding to life!
One of our favorite parts about D’Vine Grace Vineyard is that they really customize the experience, even the planning. Let them handle it all or plan everything yourself and let their expert team execute your vision, or find the perfect fusion of the two. For this wedding, the bride, Samantha, had the entire concept already mapped out in her head, but the team at D’Vine Grace Vineyard made a few suggestions that took her vision to the next level, like using light blue napkins instead of the typical white. That little touch of color really pulled in the florals and made the whole design pop.
The estate and grounds at D’Vine Grace Vineyard have been thoughtfully designed with weddings in mind. Take this breathtaking gazebo on the Il Prato lawn, it made the perfect backdrop for this outdoor ceremony that was literally dripping in florals! The couple, Samantha and Alex, worked closely with Petals Couture to create these bright and whimsical floral installations that took the already stunning lawn space from pretty to straight-up fairytale. Petals Couture wrapped the pillars in greenery and created a vibrant and whimsical floral arch that framed the happy couple as they said their I do’s.
If you’re like most couples, your guests are probably coming from far and wide to be there for your big day, so the least you can do is make sure they eat (and drink) well, right? Well, it doesn’t get better than the synchronized meal service at D’Vine Grace Vineyard. They offer global cuisine menus and the best part? All the food is made right then and there on-site when it’s ready to be served. Guests at this wedding made their way to the Piazza D’Amore, a large outdoor courtyard surrounded by vine walls, and infinity fountains where they were greeted by light hors d’oeuvres like Coconut Shrimp, Spanish-Style Goat Cheese, and Sundried Tomatoes Montaditos. Then, as they entered the ballroom for the reception a refreshing Caprese salad was waiting for them. After the salad course, the catering team delivered synchronized service of each guest’s pre-selected entrees which were oven-roasted chicken seasoned with Italian herbs, served with herb au jus and accompanied by green beans and macaroni and cheese and prime sirloin steak seasoned with fresh herbs, served with a rosemary demi-glace, and paired with their signature whipped potatoes and garlic asparagus with balsamic glaze and sea salt. Vegetarian guests? No worries, the chefs at D’Vine Grace can accommodate any dietary preferences or restrictions. For this wedding, in keeping with the Italian theme, the vegetarian meal was lightly breaded eggplant and cheese layers served on a bed of angel hair pasta and marinara rustica. For dessert, guests were served individually portioned tiramisu made in-house along with the wedding cake from The London Baker.
If you’ve looked at other ballrooms, you know how hard it can be to make them your own. Not this one…The Grand Ballroom at D’Vine Grace Vineyard has all of the elegance of a traditional ballroom but the crisp white walls and modern wood floors make it super easy to customize and even completely transform. For this wedding, they went all out to turn the ballroom into a floral wonderland with hanging arrangements that draped from one side of the mezzanine to the other and vibrant matching centerpieces.
