Nate & Alexandra

November brings a golden glow to the Shenandoah Valley, making it a perfect setting for an elegant fall wedding. Nate and Alexandra celebrated their love with a romantic, rustic-inspired ceremony at The Seclusion in Lexington, Virginia, surrounded by vibrant foliage and sweeping mountain views.

​

Planned with care by Julie Rupert Events, the day unfolded seamlessly from start to finish. The couple chose an outdoor ceremony where guests were greeted by the breathtaking expanse of the Blue Ridge in the distance. Floral arrangements by Three Graces Farm & Florals added to the magic, with lush white roses and eucalyptus creating a refined contrast to the golden hues of autumn. Glammed by Laci Fore Makeup Artistry, Alexandra made a striking entrance in a lace-embellished gown, her veil cascading behind her as she walked down the aisle on her father’s arm.

​

The celebration continued in the venue’s barn, where rustic charm met timeless elegance. Take Out 250 delighted guests with a delicious meal, while crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over long farm tables and cross-back chairs. Gold-accented details complemented the barn’s cathedral ceilings and wooden trusses, and at the heart of the space, a monumental stone fireplace added warmth and intimacy.

​

The couple’s first dance, lit by twinkling lights and set to music by RSP Entertainment, was a highlight of the night, followed by joyful dancing with their guests. As the celebration came to a close, guests lit sparklers and gathered to cheer the newlyweds during their grand exit.
