Rustic Colorful Barn Ceremony

Riverside on the Potomac is one of our favorite Loudon County Wedding Venues and I had the honor of planning Laurie and Cliffs 2013 fall wedding in the newly remodeled barn. They wanted to focus their attention on the food and dancing for the evening, and keep the decor low key, home spun, and colorful with wildflowers and bright fabric streamers as backdrops! I was thrilled to have their wedding featured in the Fall 2014 Knot Magazine, and now I can share all their amazing photos with you as well!! Unfortunately their wedding day was shadowed by rain during the ceremony, so we moved them into the Long Stable Gallery for the ceremony with guests standing around their Chuppah. Fortunately the rain was sporadic enough to get great outdoor shots during their first look!

Mint and Gold St. Francis Wedding

Another bright and cheery spring wedding at St. Francis Hall that was featured earlier this spring on United with Love Blog (which is one of our favorite local blogs!!!). I wanted to share a few of our favorite pictures from Jennifer and Brian’s wedding day with everyone. They used mint and gold with touches of peach in their wedding colors to keep with the vibrancy of spring. They infused their love of travel with some of the additional decor including luggage tag favors for guests to take home.

Real Wedding: Areum and Jon

We were lucky to have Areum and Jon’s wedding at the Carnegie Institute published on District Weddings  earlier in December. I wanted to share it in full for our readers and show off the great subtle details we added in to establish a sweet Ombre theme. They wanted to keep the wedding romantic, soft, and use a color palette of blush to lavender in an ombre gradation.  They held their ceremony and reception both at Carnegie with Spilled Milk  catering with a 4 course menu of Short Ribs, cornbread and shrimp, and ending the night with a s’mores bar. Jon is a DJ with MyDeeJay  and so of course the music was a huge part of the night making sure that people kept to the dance floor! Enjoy!
