Roadmap to Engagements in Bluemont
So you’re ready to get engaged!? This is such a special time but we get it, it can be totally overwhelming. From the fancy blogs and pinterest ideas, to the extravagant decor and parties, to even the celebs setting the trend bar high with a private beach full of roses and a candle lit walkway (yeah, we’re looking at you Kravis!), it feels like over the top is the only way to go. But oh, do we have news for you!
While the glitz and the glam of the perfectly curated moments you find on the internet seem dreamy, the truth is, most don’t need all of these bells and whistles to find the excitement when they see their special someone getting down on one knee. Actually, that one knee and some thoughtfully put together words to tug at the heartstrings are often just what your significant other is looking to hear to say, “YES!”
DIY IT
The Knot said it, and we’re serving it up. One of the top engagement trends this year is popping the question in an outdoor, instagrammable place. Nestled high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the one thing we don’t have a shortage of in Bluemont, are epic views! If you’re looking for something low key but picturesque, book a reservation on our overlook patio at The 951 Tasting Room at Bluemont Vineyard or head up to Dirt Farm Brewing and station yourselves at a pair of adirondack chairs. Sip back and relax with one of the best views, overlooking the Loudoun Valley. When the timing feels right , you know what to do! No timeline, no pressure - just you, your sweetie and a great view as a backdrop.
Pro tip- ask your neighbors to snap a few pictures on your phone to remember the moments!
MAKE IT QUAINT
If you love an adventure, this one is for you. Escape the crowds and head to The Reserve at Bluemont Vineyard for a picnic. This cozy mountain lodge property holds many stories of wine, wilderness and wander love. That’s right, wander love! What doesn’t sound magical about that? As if it couldn’t get any more marvelous, we’ve partnered with some of the best in the biz when it comes to styling your special moment. Our luxury picnic partners at The Local Proposal and Fiftytwo Saturdays are ready to help bring to life the theme of your dreams -no really, you dream it, they’ll achieve it!
Pro tip- we’re pup friendly, bring the fur family along for an extra special pawty!
Enchanting engagement where the environment sets the scene and the styling is top notch!
MAKE IT A PARTY
First we propose, then we party! According to Weddingwire, ‘The Return of the Proposal Party’ is back in full force. This is for the one who wants to wow them with the proposal and celebrate that ‘YASSS’ moment, immediately! Keep the party going with all of your closest family and friends by booking one of our private event spaces at Bluemont Vineyard. Break out the bubbles, nosh on some delicious fare from the kitchen and mingle with the ones who love your love. We take care of the space and service, but it’s up to you to bring that ‘they said yes!’ decor - and trust us, we love to see it! Let’s get this party started!
MAKE IT LAST
Let your love linger in Loudoun! Travel is back in action in a big way and The Cottages at Bluemont Vineyard are the perfect place to whisk your special someone away. Nestled on a mountainside and amidst the Blue Ridge Mountains, our cottages provide endless opportunities to immerse yourself in the countryside. Less than an hour's drive from Washington DC, this will have your partner thinking you’re spending time in Virginia Wine Country and not expecting the engagement unexpected. Arrange to have a bottle of wine or bubbles and fresh flowers from our farm for your arrival. Drift away into your stay and when the moment feels right, get down on one knee for an intimate ‘home away from home’ proposal. Bask in the glow of the “Yes” under a blanket of stars while you savor the journey to come.
Pro tip- The Sunrise from the Stone Cottage and Brewer’s Cottage is completely and utterly epic. Wake up with the sun, pour a cup of joe and pop the question on the porch with the scaping views of our vineyard and Loudoun Valley as your backdrop.
