Valeria & Seth

Valeria and Seth’s May Charlottesville wedding unfolded in rural, natural beauty. The Market at Grelen, MS Events and Charlottesville wedding planners from the Hive Wedding Collective embraced a flourishing aesthetic with heaps of hanging and potted plants and an open flow between the clear-top greenhouse and surrounding fields and forests.

Fresh and alive with bronzed lanterns and golden letters simply stating “Grow,” the elaborate Charlottesville wedding venue instilled a magical bucolic backdrop and idyllic photo opportunities in the Half Moon Garden and throughout the oak treed berry field. The bride’s fairytale gown featured intricate floral overlay flanked by a duo of bridesmaids in earthy green.

The family dog stood smiling with the groomsmen in an outdoor ceremony set against rich green hills while the greenhouse reception sparkled with a cascading champagne tower glinting in abundant sunlight. Charlottesville wedding photographer Valerie Demo captured precious getting ready moments and vow preparation, guests connecting and laughing, and golden hour newlywed embraces.

Charlottesville wedding floral designers from Weddings by Vogue complemented the natural energy with stunning white blooms and greenery and wedding caterers from Harvest Moon Catering wowed with farm-sourced fare followed by a homemade ice cream station and decadent dessert bites.
