Gailan & Bret

Gailan & Bret's autumn wedding at the Common House in Charlottesville, Virginia, was a celebration brimming with vibrant colors, luxurious textures, and warm natural light. On a crisp October day, the couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family, as golden sunlight streamed through the venue, casting a radiant glow.

​

The venue’s modern yet rustic charm provided the perfect backdrop for their enchanting day. Bringing her creative vision to life, Gailan designed breathtaking floral arrangements using blooms from Sola Wood Flowers—cascading eucalyptus garlands, vibrant chrysanthemums, and deep burgundy dahlias that perfectly captured the essence of the season. She made a stunning entrance in a shimmering, off-the-shoulder gown from Brocade Bridal, its sequins catching the light. Her curly tresses were styled in an elegant updo, and she completed her look with a delicate pearl necklace, a cherished heirloom from her grandmother. Bret looked equally dashing in a tailored brown suit and a deep green tie.

​

For the reception, the couple embraced a moody, romantic palette of deep red and metallic accents, which harmonized beautifully with the venue’s striking artwork and elegant furnishings. Long wooden tables glowed under the soft flicker of candlelight, their surfaces adorned with glimmering glassware and delicate autumnal details. Guests were treated to a delectable meal, expertly prepared by the venue’s renowned culinary team and paired with hand-selected wines.
