Fall Wedding at Shepard’s Run in South Kingstown RI

Carly and Patrick’s autumn wedding at Shepard’s Run in South Kingstown, Rhode Island was nothing short of magical. The moment they visited the venue, they were drawn to its timeless charm and stunning estate grounds. But what truly made it feel meant-to-be? They discovered that Shepard’s Run sources its grapes from Macari Vineyards on Long Island — the very first winery Carly ever brought Patrick to before he met her family. It was a serendipitous, full-circle moment that made their celebration even more meaningful.

The day began with a heartfelt first look on the front lawn, just steps from the main house. Carly looked radiant in an elegant off-the-shoulder gown, holding a bouquet of burgundy, peach, and soft white blooms — the perfect palette for an early fall wedding. Patrick looked sharp in a classic navy suit, and together, they shared a quiet moment before the festivities began.

With an evening ceremony planned, guests were welcomed into one of Shepard’s Run’s inviting indoor spaces. With soft wood paneling, whitewashed walls, and twinkling lights above, the atmosphere was warm, intimate, and full of charm — the perfect setting for saying “I do.”

One of the standout details of the day was Carly and Patrick’s custom invitation suite. Featuring a hand-painted watercolor illustration of Shepard’s Run on both the card and envelope liner, it was a gorgeous first impression and a thoughtful nod to their venue. That same refined elegance carried throughout the celebration, from the florals to the décor. Their reception featured wooden tables with simple, tasteful centerpieces — creating a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere that encouraged guests to sit back, connect, and enjoy the night.
