Shannon & Paul November 8, 2012

A beautiful fall wedding in Old Town Alexandria, the ceremony was held at historic Christ Church built more than 235 years ago. Afterwards, guests were able to walk a few blocks to the reception at Lee Fendall House. The rustic and simple, green and yellow color scheme was carried throughout the event. The cocktail tables had clusters of yellow freesia in mason jars wrapped with raffia ribbon. There were two different designs for the centerpieces. The first was a cluster of mostly white hydrangea with yellow calla lily & snapdragon accents, placed in a square vase with lime slices. The second design was yellow snapdragons, green hydrangea and white dahlias in a cylinder vase with an aspedistra leaf swirled inside. Lanterns and candles scattered throughout the tent provided a romantic glow as nightfall set in. Congrats Shannon & Paul, what a great wedding!!!

Rockwood Manor Wedding October 12, 2012

Rockwood Manor had been the host of many Magill family reunions for the bride, so she felt at home having her wedding their too.  The ceremony had a dramatic backdrop with red and aqua organza fabric draped from a tall branch in the front yard.  It was a hot a summer day, so thankfully each ceremony seat had a red or aqua paper fan.  For a favor, the couple gave each guest a wine glass that doubled as their place card.  Each glass had a wine charm with the guests name and table number.  The reception tent popped with aqua linens, red satin napkins and white folding chairs.  Congrats Crystal & Chris, what a fun wedding!!!

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!

Megan & Brandon August 4, 2011

Megan & Brandon’s southern wedding at Whitehall Manor in Leesburg, Virginia was packed with details and custom DIY projects. In front of the house were, “Eat, Drink and Be Married” arrows showing which direction to go. During cocktail hour guests were entertained by “cootie catchers” and a vintage photobooth. The tables were named after activities that the couple liked to do together so posters were made explaining each activity. The centerpieces were three different designs in a variety of colors, pink, purple, orange and yellow. The lampshade centerpiece even lit up to have a totally different look at night. After cutting the cake the candy bar opened and guests were treated to delicious cookies made by the brides dad himself. For the final exit the couple did a sparkler exit out the side doors of Whitehall Manor before departing in their limousine, which I don’t have a picture of, but you can find more pictures from the wedding on the Jessica Smith Photography Blog.

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. After the ceremony guests travelled by bus to the German Club Manor for the cocktail hour and recpeiton. Hanging from the beams in the foyer of the German Club were orange and pink lanterns and custom pillows on the couches. The guest tables had white floor length linens with orange and pink criss-crossing runners and white chair covers with pink and orange organza sashes.

Brie & Gino April 30, 2011

Brie and Gino were married on a rainy spring day in April. The morning of the wedding the wind and rain didn’t let up for a second, forcing us to move the ceremony inside. Miraculously, as soon as it was time for the ceremony, the clouds broke and the sun shone through giving the bride and groom time for pictures outside while the guests enjoyed cocktail hour. Flowers were designed by Angela Courser of Corsair Floral & Décor.

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!

Erin & Brett January 7, 2011

Being involved with Erin & Brett’s wedding from the very beginning, looking for venues, working with vendors and putting together a complete decor and floral package that was exactly what she envisioned, was such a pleasure and so rewarding to see it all come together. After a thorough search throughout Loudoun County and the Hunt Country area, the couple chose Rose Hill Manor to host their wedding. The ceremony was held on the back patio with bright red rose petals lining the aisle and a custom chuppah made by a family friend. The bridesmaids carried white calla lilys and Erin’s bouquet of red roses and mini white calla lilies popped in front her white wedding dress. For the reception the tables were dressed in black linens with a white embroidered overlay and red satin napkins, the chairs had a black chair cover and white satin sash. The centerpieces were groupings of white hydrangeas and submerged in the water were red LED lights which created a glow on the table during dinner. Congratulations Erin & Brett, I hope your marriage is as beautiful as your wedding!
