Ethereal Autumn Wedding in Virginia at Great Marsh Estate

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Soft sage, light blush, cream, beige, light grey[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Our wedding vibe and vision was a modern garden romance with whimsical features. We wanted the greenery to pop, so we wanted very soft florals to draw in the romance and pair perfectly with the autumn tones at the venue.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]My husband proposed on a Monday night as the sun was setting in old town Alexandria on the cobblestone road. He’s brother took photos of the proposal and then we went to dinner where my family and friends surprised me. I had no idea it was happening until I saw his brother behind a tree right before Matt got down on one knee! It was such a memorable evening! [/field]
