Real New York Wedding | Jeanine + Michael at Pellegrini Vineyards

With a beautiful weekend ahead of us, we're SO ready to escape out east {and perhaps make a pitstop along Long Island's sprawling vineyards}. So it was only fitting {and totally appreciated} when photographer Tessie Reveliotis shared Jeanine and Michael's wedding held at Pellegrini Vineyard in Cutchogue, NY. Sunsets, vintage inspired regalia, sweet florals, and of course wine... We're already reaching for our oversized sunglasses and headscarf ready to take the winding ride down 495 to greener pastures. Cheers...

Bride Jeanine wore light and airy ivory Paloma Blanca dress with a-line empire waist, antique brooch and {bonus} hidden pockets. She finished her wedding look with a birdcage veil attached to blue stoned combs.  Jeanine's shoes were ivory Stuart Weitzman, her earrings were blue topaz diamond drops {a gift from her husband}.

The men wore hydrangea sprigs, and the groom, Michael, wore a matching rose from Jeanine's bouquet. The bridesmaids wore twobirds dresses and held mix of hydrangea and soft pink roses wrapped in twine adorned with small wooden heart shaped pin with etched initials of bride and groom.

The reception was held at Pellegrini Vineyard. Bride Jeanine notes, "The cocktail hour was set up alongside the rows of grapes growing. Guests had access to the vineyard, barrel room, tasting room, and the courtyard where dinner tables were set up. Dinner was served as the sun set. Tables were scattered around the dance floor under a large tent adorned with candles and large white lanterns. Our table centerpieces were mason jars filled with hydrangea flowers and candles. Our table numbers were moss covered, matching the initials on our table."

The wedding cake was designed by Junda's Bakery in Riverhead, incorporating both the couple's wedding flowers and initials. The favors were wine openers from Pottery Barn, the inscription read, "one good turn deserves another."

From the bride: Mike and I met in elementary school and were good friends throughout school. We grew up a few blocks away from each other and attended Our Lady of Mercy School on Long Island together until graduating in 8th grade. We kept in touch on and off after that and ended up attending the same college in Connecticut - Western Connecticut State University. After losing touch again, Mike ended up finding my contact information and we met up again in 2008 and have been together ever since.

Proposal: Mike and I both enjoy exercising and running along the beach by our home in Setauket, NY. We love going to West Meadow Beach to run and spend the day by the water. After a jog one morning, we walked out to the water and Mike proposed there on our beach.

Location: Our first date was at a vineyard. It was a perfect day and date! We knew having a reception at a vineyard would be the perfect way to celebrate our relationship and marriage. We both enjoy wine and traveling to new vineyards while we are away and on vacations. Pellegrini Vineyard on Long Island is a beautiful outdoor venue that incorporated our love of the outdoors, wine and our home of Long Island.
