Oh my goodness, I'm so excited to share the story of this beautiful, intimate elopement at Twee Wingerd Plaas (TWP) in Palisade, Colorado. It was an absolute dream come true for Abigail and Ben and their closest loved ones.
Getting Ready and First Look at TWP
The day began at Twee Wingerd Plaas, where the couple, along with their newborn baby, and their wedding party got ready and shared a heartfelt first look. With the cherry orchard lawn as their backdrop, emotions ran high as they prepared to exchange vows.
The Ceremony in the Vineyard
A short drive away, the couple's ceremony took place amidst the lush vineyards of Palisade. Surrounded by the serene beauty of the grapevines and under the open sky, they exchanged vows in a ceremony that was as intimate as it was breathtaking. Their newborn baby added an extra touch of joy and love to the ceremony.
Personal Wine Tasting and Vintage Car Exploration
After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed a personal wine tasting experience right at the vineyard. Twee Wingerd Plaas, listed as 2 out of 10 winery lodges to visit in the world, made the experience even more special. They also explored cool refurbished cars, adding a touch of vintage charm to their day.
Dinner and Celebration at TWP
Returning to Twee Wingerd Plaas, the couple and their loved ones were treated to an intimate dinner set up by their caterer. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the food was described as "literally so good." As they dined, they shared laughter, memories, and heartfelt toasts, with their baby girl peacefully sleeping nearby.
Sunset on Mount Garfield and a Drizzly Ending
As the sun set behind Mount Garfield, casting a warm glow over the vineyard, the group enjoyed the picturesque view. However, the evening ended with a surprise drizzle, prompting everyone to dash for cover, laughing all the way.
End of The Evening
Their intimate elopement at Twee Wingerd Plaas was truly magical. It was a day filled with love, adventure, and genuine moments against the backdrop of Colorado's stunning wine country. The couple's goal of a sophisticated vibe with the backdrop of family time, beautiful scenery, and great wine was beautifully achieved.
