Birkby House Leesburg Wedding

Birkby House Leesburg Wedding

Wedding couple following their Birkby House wedding ceremony

Vintage was the word of the day for Gretchen and Tom’s wedding, and Thomas Birkby House in Leesburg is the perfect place for such a look. The Birkby House wedding ceremony, held in the back garden, used the site’s wrought iron arch as a centerpiece. Every once and a while we have an event where the design comes together so perfectly – and the couple is so happy and are such lovely people – that instead of just wanting to go home and have a drink after setting up, we want to stay for the wedding. This was one of those weddings.

Gretchen supplied all of the assorted containers for the reception florals for her Birkby House wedding, mostly flea market finds, and family heirlooms, giving it that personal touch that so many people are looking for in their weddings. Bright shades of peach, coral, and pink were a perfect compliment to a warm, end of the summer event.

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling? 

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.
