Vintage Estate Affair
This vintage-inspired country affair was full of vivid, bright hues and thoughtful nostalgic touches. From vintage furnishings and authentic candle-lit candelabras, the mood was warm and inviting. Floral compotes perched atop woodsy cross-sections of trees with bark skirting the edges and moss artfully trailing across the surface. Wispy greens, ferns and Queen Anne's lace kept florals feeling elegant and airy. Every last detail was organically and stylishly composed to create a picture-perfect event.

Enchanting Escape
A series of magical moments brought this enchantingly-appointed wedding into focus on an exquisite private Virginian estate. Fuchsia, purple and white florals cascaded over the tablescapes along with suspended votives, twinkling entrancingly. The estate itself lent the wedding an aura of heirloom romance, with stone walls, log-hewn buildings and hidden pools in abundance. Images by Genevieve Leiper.
A Formal Fête
Marked by formal elegance, this beautifully bespoke wedding was the picture of perfection from long-tailed tuxes to polished, gloved attendants. Floral accents added a colorful edge to the pristine event, with corals, pinks, peaches, creams and blues gracing the tabletops and adding opulent detailing to the ladies' gowns. Even the couple's pup wore a splash of pink florals on her collar. As the enchanted afternoon faded into evening, the exquisitely tented lawn made for a sumptuous scene with guests dancing far into the night. Images by Kate Headley.
