Some things are worth waiting for. This past May, I was honored to design for Erica and her groom Mitch who celebrated their outdoor nuptials at the beautiful Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg, Virginia. Love Life Images captured the spirit of the day; planner Rachel Rice of The One Moment Events coordinated the event; and my good friend Ray Bialek, of Bialek’s Music, brought the music and the fun for the guests.

The bride carried a rounded bouquet of brightly-colored peony, rose, and ranunculus blooms accented with hypericum berries and greenery.

Mitch added a touch of pink with a charming ranunculus and spray rose boutonniere.

The sunset and mountain views were the perfect backdrop to this personal affair. The chuppah really popped against the winery’s natural, spring backdrop.

The Erica’s bouquet led the design for the rest of the wedding florals. At their reception, Erica and Mitch kept the color and featured small, sweet arrangements and petite bud vases throughout the venue.

With more than 40 years in the industry, Bialek’s Music is simply the best.

Wishing this happy couple years of happiness. Cheers!
