Wedding at The George

The George of Old Town is a fully renovated historic home in Old Town Alexandria. Once belonging to George Washington, the house is available for rent, making it a stunning option for your “intimate day”. A beautiful entryway, staircase, stylishly appointed rooms, and a back patio make it a lovely choice for a small wedding at The George – especially with room for all of your nearest and dearest to stay as well. Sharing our recent late summer wedding at The George today!

Carine & Justin’s Wedding

Getting married in the midst of a pandemic is not easy, but by following local guidelines and reducing guest counts, Carine and Justin’s wedding at The George was as magical as any. As guests arrived for the intimate ceremony, the back of the aisle featured a design full of lush cream and mauve blooms making for a grand entrance to the intimate space. The palette for the wedding was a unique combination, perfect for late summer. The floral palette featured Cafe au Lait dahlia, Purple Moon and Amnesia roses, delicate smokebush, pampas grass and lots of eucalyptus and olive leaf foliages. Carine’s bouquet featured creamy white dahlia and garden roses accented with Cafe au Lait, while Justin wore the most simple and elegant boutonniere of olive leaf foliage. The ceremony itself was set with a lush, deconstructed arch flanking the wooden gate in the brick-enclosed patio. Lemon leaf, ruscus, smokebush and olive leaf were finished with white and mauve roses and spray roses, with pampas grass plumes creating a dramatic finish to the design.
