There’s something special about a summer wedding at Schade Vineyard & Winery, and Emma and Matt’s July wedding was the perfect example. ☀️
It was hot, but that didn’t stop these two from having the most beautiful, joy-filled day surrounded by their favorite people. With the vineyard as their backdrop and Hitch Studio helping bring their vision to life, every detail came together to create a wedding that felt personal, thoughtful, and completely them!
A Summer Day at Schade
Emma and Matt’s July wedding embraced everything we love about summer at Schade. The sunshine, lush greenery, and vineyard views created a beautiful backdrop for their celebration and gave the couple plenty of opportunities for gorgeous photos throughout the day.
A Ceremony Full of Personality
One of our favorite parts of Emma and Matt’s day? Their dog of honor! 🐾
Their dog, Rizzo, made a very special appearance walking down the aisle, adding one of those personal touches that made their ceremony uniquely theirs. It was the perfect reminder that weddings are all about incorporating the people—and pets—you love most!
Planning & Decorating by Hitch Studio
While Schade provided the beautiful setting, we were there as Emma and Matt’s wedding planner and decorator to help bring everything together.
From the planning process to wedding-day setup, we helped coordinate the details behind the scenes so Emma and Matt could focus on celebrating.
As their decorator, we helped create a cohesive look throughout the wedding while incorporating the couple’s personal touches, including their beautiful homemade backdrop.
This is one of the things we love most about the Schade + Hitch experience. Couples get a gorgeous venue along with the opportunity to hire a team knows the space and can help turn their ideas into reality!
