An October Wedding at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens
Virginia is charming in October—fall’s honeyed light and crisp air harmonizes bewitchingly with the still-green outdoors. This juxtaposition was on fully display on Sam and Taylor’s wedding day at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden.
These two played up their own chic style and the venue’s lush beauty through greenery-forward florals, timeless details, and a lot of love! Held beneath the trees, their ceremony segued into a tented reception under the stars. After cutting their wedding pie (who needs cake when there’s crusty, fruity goodness?!), everyone danced their shoes off and sent our happy couple off with a streamer farewell.
Sam’s Lace Topper and Timeless Wedding Style
For Sam, achieving the perfect bridal look was centered around timeless elegance with a modern twist. After choosing her gown at Annalise Bridal, she sought one additional bridal accessory to complement the florals of her venue and her own classic, romantic aesthetic. Made of sheer, delicate lace, the long sleeves added a high neck to her Lea-Ann Belter Paradise topper, bringing her look together!
