Bekah & Bryan March 13, 2013

March weather can be so unpredictable but Bekah and Bryan were so lucky, with snow falling (and melting) just days before their wedding, the weather that Saturday ended up being sunny and beautiful. The couple was married at St. Paul’s Methodist church in Christiansburg Virginia and afterwards guests traveled just a few miles down the road to Sinkland Farms for the reception. Guests drove around to the back of the property to be greeted by valet attendants, then they walked up a ramp into an enclosed tent where cocktail hour was held. A wooden hutch displayed the mason jars with stripped beverage straws and a table in the center of the tent displayed biscuits on platters that belonged to the bride’s mother. A seating chart poster listed the guests’ names alphabetically so they could easily find their seat for dinner. The reception tables were set with a warm brown linen and a toweling runner, the elegant centerpieces were displayed in silver containers designed by Gloriosa. The couple chose to stick with the rustic barn theme and served Due South BBQ for dinner, afterwards guests enjoyed entertainment from a local bluegrass band. What a beautiful wedding, congratulations Bekah & Bryan!

Heather & Charlie May 14, 2012

Lots of orchids and 3 different tall centerpieces, what a delight it was for Diamond Events to design Heather & Charlie’s pink, black and white wedding at the Hyatt Dulles in Herndon, Virginia.  The courtyard ceremony space was the perfect backdrop for an outdoor spring wedding.  After the ceremony the guests easily transitioned into the foyer for cocktail hour while enjoying delicious food and the soothing tones of a harp.  The ballroom was set with a black base linen, pink embroidered overlay, silver chargers and a black napkin with a pink breast cancer awareness band at each place setting.  Each table had one of three different tall centerpieces.  The first centerpiece was cluster of white hydrangeas and pink roses set atop a glass trumpet vase with silver wire swirled inside.  The second centerpiece was a design of all blush pink mokara orchids atop a 28″ tall pedestal vase with pink water and a submersible light inside.  The third centerpieces was a grouping of 3 cylinder vases with submerged orchids inside and a round bubble vase on top with clear stones and a white pillar candle.  The head table was decorated with 3 of the vase used during the ceremony with with submerged white orchids inside and a floating candle was added to the top.   The cake continued the pink, black and white theme with a playful bride and groom cake topper giving “High Five”.  The cake was set on top of plexiglass which was lifted off of the table with clear cube vases with pink roses inside.  Congratulations Heather and Charlie, what a magnificent wedding you had!

Erin & Chris February 9, 2012

Erin & Chris held both their ceremony and wedding reception at the stunning and historic Raspberry Plain in Leesburg, Virginia in the fall of 2011. Their colors were “wine”, gray and ivory with gold accents. The floral centerpieces were large arrangements of white hydrangeas, dark purple calla lilies and orchids. Hanging from the base of the arrangement were swags of crystals and votive candles, giving a romantic glow to the table. On every other table was a set of 3 pedestal vases 28′, 24″ and 20″ tall with a floating candle and wine colored rocks in the base. The room looked so magnificent at night, congrats Erin and Chris!

Samantha & Brad January 4, 2012

The striking monogram behind Samantha and Brad’s wedding cake, took your breath away when walking into the Hotel Roanoke ballroom. The tables had alternating colorful arrangements with orange, red and yellow flowers. The tall centerpieces were full round arrangements of white hydrangeas with gerbera daisies and roses providing pops of color. The finishing touch was the white curtain walls and uplighting that went around the edge of the room, creating a romantic glow. Congratulations Samantha & Brad, what a fun wedding!

Jamie & Eric June 27, 2011

Jamie and Eric’s wedding in tones of blush and gold was romantic and elegant. The chapel where the couple held their ceremony was commiissioned by the brides grandfather and held a special meaning for many of the guests. Large peony arrangments in blush and white decorated the altar and a custom aisle runner with rhinestone accents added the extra “bling” that the bride was looking for. After the ceremony the couple travelled in a vintage Rolls Royce to the reception at Harbour View Event Center in Woodbridge, Virginia. The tables were dressed in soft pink pintuck with gold chargers and soft, round centerpieces bursting with peonies. The chairs were covered in white chair covers tied with gold satin sashes and rhinestone buckles.

Nannette & Charles May 18, 2011

It was such a pleasure working with Nannette and Charles to create their dream wedding weekend in Blacksburg, Virginia. Every aspect of the wedding was filled with personal touches from the moment that guests arrived at the hotel until they they left on Sunday after breakfast. A fun color scheme of pink and orange was carried throughout the wedding. Hanging from the doors of the Virginia Tech War Memorial Chapel were two large letters, “N” and “C” and a custom aisle runner with the couples monogram dressed up the aisle.

Mandie & Alec March 3, 2011

Mandie and Alec held both their ceremony and reception at the historic Vinton War Memorial outside of Roanoke, Virginia. The Marine wedding held true to its colors in red, blue and touches of gold. The centerpieces were tall arrangements with red roses and branches coming from the top and the low centerpieces were arrangements made of a variety of white mums wrapped in ribbon so guests were able to take a bouquet home with them. Guests also took home canned apple butter from Jamisons Orchard, what a delicious treat!
