Lauren & Jarus

Lauren and Jarus were married on his family farm and can we say “AMAZING!”  The scenery was spectacular; a 360-degree view of the beautiful mountains of Virginia!

We literally watched it raining along the mountain ridge behind the house but we managed to dodge the storms and have the outdoor ceremony that Lauren wanted.  Such a sweet ceremony surrounded by family and friends in the backyard of the house!

Lauren’s vision was evident in all the special touches she and Jarus provided for their special day.  Jarus designed and made the guest table centerpieces from wood on the property.  Lauren made personalized mason jars for all the guests that served as their table assignments as well as their drinking glasses for the evening.  There was a dessert bar with various yummy selections and food in abundance for the guests to enjoy!

A superb band provided music for the reception and they kept the guests on the dance floor the entire evening! The evening ended with a sparkler exit and saw the bride and groom off to the after-party elsewhere on the property and then their first night as husband and wife in their very own “treehouse” made completely with wood from the property!  Truly special touches from start to finish for Jarus and Lauren’s very special wedding day!

Georgianna and Matt

It was a perfect wedding weekend!  Course we think all our wedding weekends are perfect!  

I started working with Georgianna and Matt over a year ago to plan their perfect day and as I’ve said before, it’s a little sad for us when we send couples down the aisle because we know that we may not have the opportunity to see them again.  Everyone comes into your life for a reason and sometimes just for a season!  Such is life. . . . 

Her mother planned and executed the centerpieces as well as many of the items out and about at their reception. Georgianna put her personal touch on many things as well.  Events by Sherri pulled from their inventory along with the MOB’s touch for the altar and pews at War Memorial Chapel.  And Matt’s family had a wonderful rehearsal dinner with just the right touch to kick off the celebratory weekend.   So everyone worked together to create their weekend for them.  

Dakota, Georgianna’s horse, who is her pride and joy, was featured in pics displayed during the reception.  Top off the evening with a great DJ and great food and a good time was had by all.  A sparkler exit sent them on their way as the new Drs. Matt and Georgianna Schroeder!
