In 2018, I worked at lots of new-to-me wedding venues, and it was so fun traveling around Virginia celebrating my sweet couples and designing for them! Last years Where to Wed blog post was such a hit that I decided to highlight my favorites from this year! I have been to many different venues throughout the years, and I thought it would be helpful for any of my engaged readers to share my 2018 top 10 favorites (it was SO hard to choose), and features I love of each!! That way, you can use this as a guide if YOU are still searching for that perfect wedding venue for your big day! So, in no particular order, here are 10 wedding venues that are sure to impress! 

Jane and Red enjoyed a beautiful July wedding day filled with sunshine and a mountain breeze, in Lexington, Virginia, at one of my favorite venues, Big Spring Farm! Big Spring is such a lovely spot for a summer wedding, with mountain views, water views, and a gorgeous natural barn for the reception! Red and Jane’s classic dusty blush and white color palette, paired with greenery was the perfect color scheme for their summertime wedding (it’s forever a favorite of mine!), and I loved how our Gardenia silk ribbons popped off the different styles of bridesmaid dresses! To bring their floral design vision to life, we used lots of garden roses, ranunculus, cafe au lait dahlias, astilbe, stock and and lots of greens- everything smelled SO good!! Their wedding day was photographed by Alisandra Photography, who did such a wonderful job, and we loved working alongside Kat, and her amazing team at Dear Sweetheart Events, and Big Spring Farm as well! Jane and Red are such a sweet, down-to-earth couple, and it was such a joy and honor to be a part of their wedding day, and celebrate them! We have even had the opportunity to hang out with Jane and Red after the wedding day too- my absolute favorite is when my clients turn into our friends- so fun! 🙂 Scroll to the end of this post for a list of all the vendors who brought Jane and Red’s wedding day to life, and enjoy scrolling through their wedding photos!

Morgan and Ryan were married on a gorgeous June day, outdoors at Big Spring Farm in Lexington, Virginia! From the very first consultation I had with Morgan, I immediately knew I had found a new friend- we have so much in common! 🙂 I absolutely loved being able to work with her (and her sweet mom) throughout the planning process, and by the time the big day had arrived, I felt a little sad knowing that we didn’t have anymore flower meetings scheduled so we could catch up!! Morgan and Ryan’s wedding was filled with romantic pastel colors and soft textures, and I loved being able to use some of my favorite flowers for their wedding, like peonies, ranunculus, lavender, eucalyptus, and garden roses (and all the flowers smelled AMAZING!!!) Morgan’s one big request was having white anemones in her bridal bouquet, so when I got them delivered that week and they came in so perfectly that I just HAD to share a picture with her before the big day! She was so excited, and I just knew her bouquet would be a new favorite of mine!! And the bridesmaid bouquets full of eucalyptus and white fluffy peonies paired perfectly with their mismatched, but still coordinating dresses in shades of blush and lavender- so obsessed!!! All the sweet details of their day were captured perfectly by Kimberly Florence Photography, and I loved seeing all the thoughtful touches that Ryan and Morgan had incorporated into their wedding day! Big Spring Farm was the perfect setting for their whimsical and fun wedding, and I am SO excited to be able to share some of the details here! Check out the end of this post for the vendors who all played a part in M&R’s wedding day- and enjoy! 🙂
