Taylor & Xavier’s Intimate Montaluce Winery Wedding
Taylor and Xavier’s story began in the kitchen of the restaurant where they worked, their friendship blossoming over shared jokes and a playful challenge. One day, Xavier teased Taylor by offering her a fry held between his lips, and without hesitation, she accepted. From that lighthearted moment on, a connection sparked — evolving into a romantic relationship filled with laughter, mutual understanding and an undeniable bond.
Fittingly, their wedding mirrored the intimacy and charm of their partnership. Taylor and Xavier chose Montaluce Winery & Restaurant, a picturesque venue in the North Georgia mountains, as the backdrop for their celebration. Though they live in Florida, the Tuscan-inspired atmosphere of the vineyard made for the perfect destination wedding, offering an idyllic escape just far enough from home. Their planner, Logan Paradiso Events, drew inspiration from the natural beauty of the vineyard and its old-world ambiance. Incorporating elements like fresh pears and grapes into the floral arrangements, the vendor team perfectly enhanced the lush harmony of the day.
With just 20 guests, Taylor and Xavier’s wedding was intimate, allowing for every detail to be thoughtfully curated. Surrounded by the winery’s serene vineyard and rustic architecture, the venue set the tone for a celebration blending modern sophistication with the warmth of a friendly dinner party.
As day turned to night, Taylor (who changed into a chic Sarah Alouache mini dress) and Xavier got the party started with a champagne tower and dancing beneath glowing string lights. The event, filled with a perfect balance of editorial elegance and heartfelt intimacy, was nothing short of magical.
