Lacey and Marc, who originally met at their local church group, had a classic, thoughtful tented Black Horse Inn Virginia wedding. Marc proposed at the top of a mountain in the Scotland highlands, once he and Lacey reached the peak.

For their wedding, the couple focused the design concept to reflect their love of nature and the outdoors. They paired this well with their cultures and travels together. Their wedding took place on derby day, so it was perfect for Lacey ride into the ceremony with her parents on horse & carriage. Not to mention, the Black Horse Inn’s beautiful stables fit the bill! Their unique double sided ceremony programs included a Chinese translation on the reverse side for Lacey’s family and friends who traveled in from her home country.

Guests were seated at tables named by cities all over the globe that had a special place in their story. Following dinner, Lacey changed into a traditional red Chinese wedding dress to honor her culture. Guests danced the night away and enjoyed the specialty Scotch bar, a nod to the location where they were engaged. Thank you to Sarah Kazemburg Events + Styling for sharing this multicultural wedding with us today!
