Vidya & Ian kicked off their Summer wedding weekend with a gorgeous al fresco rehearsal dinner at Valley Rock Inn. Guests sipped on specialty cocktails upon arrival, and enjoyed a selection of woodfired pizza, mini sliders and more. An oversized floral arrangement on an antique table welcomed guests to find their seating cards nestled around fresh lemon.

As the evening progressed, guests were invited to take their seats under soft bistro lighting on the South lawn, while a band from DWP Live Factory grooved. The design of the dinner was Mediterranean-inspired, with crisp white linens layered with lush green and white florals, citrus and touches of blue. As the sun went down, the swagged lights overhead created a warm glow over the tables as guests celebrated the couple.

The three-course plated dinner was served in-between rounds of speeches from the couple’s close friends, and artist AE Kieran slipped illustrations to guests he captured on paper throughout the night. A fresh strawberry shortcake finished the night on a sweet note.

The rehearsal dinner was a beautiful and relaxed way to kick off the weekend ahead for the lovely couple!
