Fall Country Chic

This last wedding of the season brought us again to Grandale Farms in Purcellville.  We have nothing but nice things to say about this couple.  From the beginning they were a delight.  We've been fortunate enough to have worked with some great couples this year, but this one is by far one of the sweetest.

They had a stunning mix of colors for their ceremony and reception, from yellows to purples. Bright colors to go along with the early changing fall leaves.  The ceremony was held outside, on this gorgeous fall day.  The cold weather held out enough to have a beautiful ceremony.  The white wooden chairs lined the aisles.  The arch was draped with beautiful greenery and mix of flowers.  All the bouquets were done in a mix of colors and flowers.  Almost looking like wild flowers.  The groom grinned as he watched his bride and her parents walk down the aisle.  It was so sweet!  The ceremony had some Jewish touches from her side of the family.  The ceremony ended with the traditional breaking of the glass.

The reception was a tented event.  The linens were ivory floor length with light blue napkins. Each table had  walnut colored chivari chairs.  The centerpieces were all different tiered submerged flowers.  Some were Calla Lillies in different colors and the others were roses in different colors.  Each had a floating candle.  Votives and rose petals finished of the tables.  Favors were assorted candies in organza bags placed at each table setting.

Artistic cake creations

The cake was gorgeous.  A 3 tiered cake with sugar flowers draped from top to bottom.  Surrounded by rose petals at the base on a light blue linen.  This cake was beautiful and yummy!!

At most weddings we usually we are chasing down either the bride or the groom. Most times they only really get to spend a little time together due to having to greet or "entertain" guests.  This couple was different.  They didn't leave each others' side. They danced the whole night and had a blast.  But the whole time within reaching distance.  We absolutely loved that.  To see them so in love and so into each other. The dance floor stayed packed from beginning to end.  It really could have been at least double the size.  Had we known they would have just partied all night, we would have suggested it.  The DJ played Michael Jackson to Tradition Jewish songs and everything in between.  It stayed packed!! It didn't stop any of them, if the dance floor was packed onto the grass they went.  It was truly a fun, fun party filled night.  Which we are sure continued even after everyone left.

The night ended with us taking some of those submerged centerpieces and making a walk way outside  in the grass to line the way to the bus that would take the bride, groom and guests to the hotel.  Some of the rose ones reminded us of the Beauty and the Beast rose. They just glowed in the night.  As the couple did their departure the guests through rose petals.  It was a great way to end the night. 

We had an amazing time the entire night.  Their families and friends were a pleasure to be around.  Truly a great couple.  We wish them all the best always!!  Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day!!
