Morais Vineyards, a popular wedding venue in Northern Virginia, was the perfect setting for this contemporary stylized shoot. From the manicured grounds to classic European architecture, Morais continues to wow modern couples who love a timeless and elegant vibe (as well as great wine!).

Our design featured a clean and sleek look, showcasing the Pantone color of the year – greenery – in combination with bold shades of blue, hot magenta, and black. We also incorporated honeycomb patterns throughout, as seen in the bridal gown, centerpieces, cake, chairs and stationery designs. Ferns, amarantus, spray roses, hydrangeas, succulents, stock, and eucalyptus were artfully arranged to give us a warm and inviting botanical ambiance.

The Francesca Miranda gown, Twiggy, was the ideal dress for this occasion! Its classy line evokes simplicity and elegance.

An absolute favorite for this shoot were the custom-made table runners, which featured a eye-catching Moroccan pattern. Displayed in tandem with Blue Nordic china by Meakin, this tasteful combination provided just the right accent to our botanical theme.

We also wanted to inspire couples by using different edible (and healthy) favors, such as an imprinted apple with their names. Lastly, we added cotton candy as an fun and unique dessert alternative.
