Historic Virginia Wedding

Historic Virginia Wedding

What do you get when you choose not one but TWO historic Virginia wedding venues for your nuptials? Well, lots of fabulous southern charm for starters, we’d say! Sarah and Sean celebrated their union with an outdoor ceremony at Gunston Hall, the former home of founding father George Mason, followed by dinner at Mount Vernon Inn, on the grounds of George Washington’s estate.

Two large wine barrels with lush urns designs in classic whites and greens framed the ceremony, the manor house in the background. Flanked on each side by the wedding party, the ceremony felt classic, romantic, and timeless – just the look our couple described when we met. One thing is for sure, we could use more magnolia-lined pathways in our life!

Following the picturesque ceremony at Gunston Hall, a portraits on the property, the wedding progressed to a reception at Mount Vernon Inn – just perfect for a historic Virginia wedding! Intimate long tables were set up in the Veranda Room, with wreaths of flowers surrounding lanterns. As an elegant finishing touch, a sprig of ruscus foliage greeted guests at each place setting. Together with the pineapple place setting holders, it was a true southern welcome.

Airy. Intentional. Unexpected.
Bouquets like this don’t just come together. They’re built with a designer’s eye and an engineer’s precision. Structured, sculptural, and perfectly imperfect.

The wired bouquet is having a moment, and we’re all in. Staying at the forefront of floral design means constantly evolving our techniques. Craftsmanship, mechanics, and keeping our skills as fresh as our stems! Modern bridal design? You’re looking at it.

Hair? Done. Makeup? Glowing. Bouquet? 

A dream in toffee and white. And when the champagne tower hits just right? That’s the Petal’s Edge touch. 🍾💐 

From behind-the-scenes to final frame, this shoot was full of joy, movement, and flower-filled magic. Because designing moments that feel as good as they look? That’s kind of our thing.

Sun-drenched florals, bold texture, and one unforgettable chuppah moment.

For Aliza & Alex’s summer celebration at Oxon Hill Manor, we went full color-forward. Coral peonies were the undeniable star. Paired with wildflower-inspired details like daisies, snapdragons, freesia, and even herbs, the floral design struck that perfect balance between luxe and lighthearted.

From the birch pole chuppah trailing with blooms to vibrant, garden-style centerpieces, this tented affair radiated joyful energy - proof that color can absolutely be elevated!
