The Venue

Unique in its secluded small level resort style, The Airlie in Warrenton, Virginia, is perfectly picturesque in every direction. As this was my first wedding at this venue, I took time to explore before joining my couple and I was able to pick out more photo hotspots than we were able to accomplish. The top mentions from this venue as you will see throughout Brittany and Tylers photos is the staircase to the main Airlie House, the butterfly garden, and my personal favorite was the historic brick bridge by the lake. This Virginia venue provides a variety of breathtaking backdrops for any celebration. 

The Details

Beyond the perfectly selected venue, the well crafted florals and decor picked out by the couple brought such a simplistic, elegant vision to life. For this wedding day the couple chose to really allow the venue to be the main focus of their day and then accented for moments it really matter like their bouquets, florals on the arch, and the reception space! Adding a modern touch to the historic ambiance, white florals created a stunning contrast, bringing a sense of elegance and sophistication to the warm, earthy tones of fall. Together, these elements create an unforgettable atmosphere that feels both romantic and enchanting.
