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.
