October Brides

There's something special about the October bride. Maybe that is because I was one myself! As the summer closes and the air cools, we all tend to relax more. For a bride, that is perfect timing to cool off the wedding planning stress! … [Read more...]

Congratulations Niki & Jeremy

It was a picturesque day along the river for Niki and Jeremy to wed. It was full of elegant fall details, both rustic and chic, and full of rich color. The weather had been wet all week but everyone crossed their fingers and held out hope for a clear day and it happened! On a wide open space along the James River under a wooden arbor, Niki and Jeremy said "I Do" among friends and family seated on fun covered hay bales. … [Read more...]
Congratulations Brooke & Wyatt
2011
Brooke & Wyatt chose such a fun wedding date of 9-10-11. September starts what I think is the perfect time of year for weddings... fall! The days are still warm, the air is still, the skies are blue, and the evening air is cool and refreshing. It was no different for Brooke & Wyatt's day either. With rich purple colored gowns and accents of coral and green, the church and reception were decorated with the perfect palette of late summer and the first peek of Autumn. … [Read more...]

Congratulations Lauren & Justin
2011
It goes without saying there was an uninvited guest to central Virginia on the last Saturday in August. In fact, she graced herself up the entire east coast! Irene, a hurricane of a personality, blew in just in time for Lauren and Justin's wedding day preparations. Wearing sheets of rain and blowing about, she made her presence known. But, the bride and groom pushed her presence aside and moved forward because that was the day they were to be wed. … [Read more...]

Congratulations Megan & Kevin
2011
On a recent Saturday afternoon, after the skies cleared and the rain disappeared, a wedding happened for two souls who have been waiting years for this day. Fresh from her graduation at University of Virginia and ironically with a slightly familiar color palette, Megan was a smiling and calm bride on her special day. A fun pair of navy shoes, a fun UVa garter, along with a selection of the prettiest, brightest, and unique flowers set the casually fun mood for the day. … [Read more...]
