Our inspiration: Our inspiration was the beautiful, modern reception space at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. We fell in love with how light and open it was and wanted to keep our decor simple and clean. At the same time we wanted a fun vibe for the evening so we tried to add some bright pops of color with our floral arrangements. Keeping the atmosphere fun and focusing on celebrating with our family and friends were always the most important things to us and we tried to remain true to this during the planning process! We were also really fortunate to find exceptional vendors that made this a reality for us and allowed us to relax and enjoy this very special day.
