Dani and Eric’s “Summer Love”

On June 16th 2018, in Cliffton Forge Virginia, Dani and Eric said “I do” in an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and friends. As a wedding planner, I get to be a part of peoples most special day. I am like a fly on the wall to the love filled day.  I felt so lucky to be a part of this small town love story come to life in such a beautiful wedding. They were married in Ridgely Historic Gardens.  A perfect location for an intimate ceremony of family and friends! I was so obsessed with how this space turned out, with all the bridesmaids in a variety of mauve-purple gowns and flower crowns to complete the look. Beauties from start to finish, but seeing Dani walking arm and arm with her sister down the aisle was everything. When the moment allows you to make a long dramatic entrance, DO IT! Her walk along a hedge lined aisle was so beautiful and seeing Eric look at his bride the way he did, brought tears to everyone’s eyes.

From the Gardens the guests made their way right down the road to the Historic Masonic Theater . The space was separated into two venues of a cockatil hour and then the doors opened for the dramatic reveal of the reception space. I would describe their style as simplistic boho. The florals were mostly greenery, but when done correctly, it can be more than beautiful! Hanging hoops covered in greenery, simple bud vases on the tables and string lights across the ceiling!

The love of these two is God filled, family oriented, and meant to last forever. I am so blessed to have been a part of their day that they won’t soon forget.  This June wedding was one of my favorites, from the small touches, good home cooking, and wonderful people, you couldn’t have asked for a better time!

For this particular event, I served as essentially a 6 month coordinator. I helped with planning aspects from major details to the small touches. There are no two brides who need the exact same things, that’s why most of what I do is custom to the couple, including pricing.
