Romantic Shadow Creek Virginia Wedding

When I saw photos of Mandy and Nick’s wedding through a personal connection I KNEW that I had to share it with our readers.

That bouquet is killer, alongside a floral ceremony cross from Dragonfly Weddings and Events, we love it all!

Modern Woodend Sanctuary Wedding

Elegance and Simplicity merged modern and botanical elements together in a way we have not seen before, to create a unique Maryland wedding. We love the use of black and white stripes, metallic industrial chairs, and over sized ferns and plants to soften the whole look of Elise and Devin’s wedding day! Photos by Joe Foley.

Elegant Country Club Virginia Wedding

Fall berry tones and wild textures had us in love with Hayley and Matt’s wedding from the start.  Bright Occasions partnered with the couple to create a fall country club wedding that was anything but boring, and we absolutely adore the tiniest members of the bridal party!

Glam Women in the Arts Museum Wedding

Gold, white, and glam are embodied in another amazing wedding planned by Amanda of  Engaging Affairs. Mixing textures within the various tablescapes and florals by Edge Floral Event Designers, we love how each table takes on a unique feeling and sparkles against the museum’s beautiful chandeliers.

Nautical Waterfront Maryland Wedding

With inspiration from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the nautical inspired details within Jacquelyn and Bill’s are just too fun to pass up. Little sailboat escort cards, a suspended rope ceremony backdrop, and bright poppy yellow florals all came together to create a nautical wedding we wont forget!
